Founded in 2014, Blitz Technology has established itself as a leader in live audio-video production and broadcast system integration for television and digital markets.
Headquartered in Bucharest, the company is the foremost operator in live sports production across Romania and Central and Eastern Europe. Blitz is also the largest provider of remote live production (REMI) services in the region.
With 51 employees and 100 permanent collaborators, Blitz Technology reported a projected annual revenue of €6 million in 2023.
The company’s operational capacity enables it to manage up to eight simultaneous multi-camera productions globally, delivering over 5,000 hours of live content annually.
Remote Live Production: A New Frontier
Since 2016, Blitz has been a pioneer in REMI (Remote Integration Model) production, a methodology that optimizes costs and enhances operational efficiency.
With this approach, equipment and personnel are stationed solely at the event location, while video production—including mixing, graphics, replays, and commentary—is centrally handled at Blitz’s Broadcast Center in Bucharest.
This innovation leverages advances in video encoding and transmission over public internet networks. REMI offers an average cost reduction of 30%, centralized high-quality technical control, and the ability to operate in locations without advanced infrastructure.
Blitz provides a wide range of services, including:
• Remote live production
• Streaming distribution via SRT, RTMP, and LiveU
• YouTube channel management
• Instant replay systems for referees
• High-quality highlight editing
• Remote commentary
• Media asset management
• Audio-video system integration
Blitz production capabilities serve clients like FIBA, FIVB, World Aquatics, Eurosport, Romanian sports federations, and platforms such as Sportradar.
International Projects
Blitz recently managed prominent events like the 2023 Beach Volleyball World Championship in Tlaxcala, Mexico, and the U19 Basketball World Cup in Madrid, produced entirely remotely with a team of just 20 people. Other achievements include the Water Polo World Cup in Los Angeles and various FIBA 3×3 tournaments.
Blitz Technology and MediaPower have announced an extension of their partnership, focusing on expanding remote live production services for Tier 2 and Tier 3 sports events in Italy and France.
The collaboration between the two companies, which began over a decade ago in audiovisual system integration across Italy and Romania, now takes on a strategic dimension.
Blitz, with its expertise in high-quality remote production, joins forces with MediaPower, leveraging its extensive knowledge of Western European markets.
Claudiu Paraschiv, CEO of Blitz, emphasized how the partnership capitalizes on the complementary strengths of the two companies: “Blitz provides the technological know-how, while MediaPower contributes its logistical resources in Milan, Genoa, and Nice. MediaPower has also started gradually building local teams to support regional sports events.”
Marcello Dellepiane, CEO of MediaPower, described the expansion as “a natural development of the partnership aimed at delivering high-quality services at competitive costs.” By optimizing existing resources, the two companies aim to support the growth of sports production in Western Europe.
