L.A. Clippers Adopt Grass Valley Switchers for IP-Based Production

MONTREAL—The Los Angeles Clippers have tapped Grass Valley and integration partner BeckTV to provide fully native 2110 IP 4K switcher solutions for Intuit Dome, the new home of the NBA franchise.

Located in Inglewood, California, Intuit Dome opened for the 2024-25 season as a premier destination for basketball and live entertainment. Designed to be the most technologically advanced arena in the United States, the venue required a no-compromise, state-of-the-art IP production infrastructure to support Clippers basketball, concerts, and other live events, GV said.

To meet these demands, Grass Valley supplied three fully native 2110 IP switcher systems, all paired with top-of-the-line Kayenne control panels. These systems will serve as the heart of production across three different control rooms, ensuring seamless operations for dozens of operators working on a variety of high-profile events.
