Studio Name: NFL Network Studios
Owner: NFL Network
Location: Culver City, Calif.
Date Open: March 2007
Designer: Russ Berger Design Group

Equipment: 50-terabyte Apple Xsan enterprise server, nine Final Cut Pro stations, two audio-networked Wheatstone D-5.1 TV consoles, Genelec monitors.
Description: In an expansion that more than tripled its existing facility, NFL Networks added a 10,000-square-foot soundstage and a 15,000-square-foot technical center that includes two video and audio control suites, voice booth, shading control, nine Final Cut Pro edit bays, ingest and output stations, a graphics bullpen and the network’s 122-rack central equipment hub. The new spaces, with full HD infrastructure and 5.1 audio capability, handle shows including NFL Total Access, NFL Game Day and other original programming. The project’s major challenge was in completing design and construction in the extremely short window between the Super Bowl and the beginning of the next NFL season.
