Larry H. Miller Sports and Entertainment has signed a five-year deal with Salt Lake City-based Pure Broadcast Corp. to provide mobile HD sports broadcast services for Miller-owned Utah Jazz games. The long-term agreement calls for Pure Broadcast to provide facilities for the broadcast of all home games and other select Miller events.
Pure said it will dedicate two 53-foot trailers containing multi-format, high-definition broadcast ability to the Jazz contract. The units will feature Sony cameras, Calrec audio mixers, Grass Valley Kayenne switchers and EVS XT3 replay devices in a variety of formats.
“This is an exciting day for our company. As a group of guys who grew up as die-hard fans of the Jazz, we couldn’t be more excited to have them as our first long-term HD broadcast partner,” said Daren Wright, CEO of Pure. “We were able to offer the Jazz a boutique, technologically powerful, customized broadcast facilities solution and were rewarded with a long-term commitment.”
Pure Broadcast has provided facilities to the live sports broadcasting industry with clients ranging from NBCUniversal’s The Golf Channel to ESPN college football.
