A Professional Live Replay System for Sports Production, Broadcasting, Stadiums, and REMI Workflows

Every great sports production revolves around key moments, game-winning goals, controversial calls, and spectacular catches. These moments deserve more than a single live shot; they warrant a replay that truly tells the story.

Ross Rio Replay is a professional live replay system that enables production teams to capture, replay, and share defining moments quickly and accurately. By combining the robust Mira replay server with the intuitive Rio Replay control panel, the system delivers advanced replay capabilities for broadcasters, stadiums, schools, colleges, OB trucks, and live event productions.

Whether producing a national broadcast or streaming a local championship, Rio Replay equips you with the tools for compelling slow-motion replays, instant playback, and highlight packages, all while seamlessly integrating into modern live production workflows.

Why Choose Ross Rio Replay?

Key Features That Matter

Capture Every Angle

Rio Replay supports up to 12 bi-directional HD and 1080p video channels in nearly any input/output configuration, allowing production teams to ingest multiple camera feeds and deliver instant replays. Super slow-motion is included without extra licensing, enabling operators to capture every critical moment with enhanced clarity and storytelling impact.

Fast, Intuitive Replay Operation

The Rio Replay control panel is purpose-built for live sports production. Its operator-centric layout includes tactile RGB buttons, a responsive jog wheel, T-Bar, programmable LCD touchscreen, and customizable controls, making replay creation fast and intuitive. Whether you’re an experienced operator or learning the craft, the familiar interface minimizes training and maximizes productivity during live events.

Built on the Proven Mira Platform

At the core of the system is Ross’s trusted Mira Replay Server, delivering robust performance for demanding live productions. High-speed SSD RAID storage accommodates up to 480 hours of media, while low-latency 10-bit HDR AVC-Intra Class 100 encoding ensures excellent image quality across frame rates from 23.98 to 60 fps. The result is a reliable replay system designed to perform under the pressure of live television and sports production.

Streamlined Highlight Creation

Replay is about more than slow motion—it’s about storytelling. Rio Replay simplifies highlight production with one-click clip tagging, keyword searching, playlist creation, and rapid content sharing. Dual-user workflows enable two operators to work simultaneously from the same server, while integrated import and export capabilities move content quickly to editors, social media teams, and other production systems.

Rio Replay is engineered for traditional, REMI, hybrid, and mobile production environments, integrating seamlessly with the Ross ecosystem and many third-party systems.
