Souther Methodist Univerity’s fully refurbished MustangVision broadcast facility stands as one of the most technically advanced production facilities among the ACC’s 18 schools. Housed in a completely renovated space at the SMU Indoor Performance Center’s Armstrong Fieldhouse, the 67,000-square-foot facility is centrally located on the school’s 234-acre campus.

Completed September 2024

Technical Operations Center

ZTransform was selected by Southern Methodist University (SMU) for the design, procurement, construction, testing, training and launch support of its flagship MustangVision Technical Operations Center based in Dallas, Texas. The facility investment came as SMU joined the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) for the 2024 collegiate sports season.

Multiple Campus Venues

ST2110 Infrastructure

The TOC included an ST2110 infrastructure, four (4) video production and audio control rooms, an 18-camera shade area, editorial suites, a MAM system, and an insert studio. The TOC supports the live broadcast of game play in 6 campus venues, plus original shoulder programming, and in-venue presentation elements.
