College athletics production is evolving rapidly, and universities need technology that can grow alongside student programs while remaining intuitive and reliable.

At Binghamton University, that growth is happening with support from Riedel’s SimplyLive RiMotion R12 replay system.

As the university celebrates 80 years and 25 years competing at the Division I level, its student-run production program now delivers more than 120 ESPN and regional broadcasts annually. What makes the program unique is that most of the 60–70 student operators begin with little or no broadcast experience, yet quickly learn to produce high-quality live sports coverage.

The SimplyLive RiMotion R12 has helped make that possible.

Replacing an aging replay system, the R12 gives students a flexible workflow that supports touchscreen, controller-based, or hybrid operation. Its browser-based configuration allows crews to quickly adapt between productions ranging from basketball and wrestling to lacrosse and softball, while fast replay creation and clip export streamline both live broadcasts and social media highlights.

The result is a system that meets students where they are — easy to learn, yet powerful enough for ESPN-quality productions.

Binghamton’s success reflects a broader trend in higher education: colleges are looking for production tools that combine professional performance with operational simplicity. For Riedel, SimplyLive represents exactly that balance — scalable, flexible replay technology that helps universities expand their live production capabilities while giving students hands-on experience with professional broadcast workflows.
