Lawo delivers all-IP video infrastructure for HuskerVision

From volleyball to football, HuskerVision’s new Lawo ST 2110 infrastructure connects Nebraska’s venues and supports simultaneous productions across campus

The University of Nebraska’s HuskerVision has completed the second phase of a multi‑year modernisation with the deployment of Lawo’s video infrastructure. The new ST 2110-based video implementation brings all major athletic venues into a unified production environment, capable of handling simultaneous shows from multiple control rooms.

Following an audio‑first transformation in 2023, the university is moving towards an SMPTE ST 2110 implementation designed and integrated by BeckTV. With Nebraska’s athletic venues spread across a wide geographic area, the goal was to bring all locations together through a single IP backbone.

At the core of this project is Lawo’s .edge platform, used both as a high‑density gateway and as a full IP processing node. Multiple .edge frames provide 3G‑SDI and 12G‑SDI ingest, while native ST 2110 connectivity and quad‑25GbE interfaces feed the production fabric.

 “We can bring in signals from any venue – whether five cameras from volleyball or a full football package – and everything just shows up in the fabric,” says Garrett Hill, director of technology. “Routing video or audio essences independently is as easy as moving blocks around.”

Using .edge for video and A__stage64 for audio, HuskerVision can now exchange bidirectional signals with national broadcast trucks, accommodating 12G‑SDI, HDR, SDR and ST 2110 feeds without additional hardware.

Workflows inside the control rooms benefit heavily from Lawo’s Home Apps. The Home Multiviewer, combined with theWall layout builder, enables dynamic, venue‑specific monitoring set-ups that can be reconfigured in seconds. Meanwhile, the Home UDX app provides on‑demand conversion directly in the network, reducing the need for traditional baseband converters.

Because HuskerVision relies heavily on student operators, the accessibility of the system was essential. Seven full‑time staff oversee a large student team who are involved in every aspect of the productions.

HuskerVision can now scale productions, transport media content more efficiently between venues and support multiple overlapping events with unprecedented ease.
