Previews 2018 FIFA World Cup Production Plans
summary
Fox Sports plans a Red Square studio cleared through nine design iterations with Russian authorities, produces 300+ hours with control room at the IBC and edit operations in Los Angeles, and covers a footprint of 15 venues (12 match sites plus IBC, Red Square, LA). Host broadcast HBS supplies a 37-camera baseline; Fox captures everything at 1080p50, ships most feeds over IP, stows match-site kit in an 8x20 technical container with four racks, and offers many non-network games in UHD/HDR via MVPDs.
