HyperActive engineers were onsite at Wolverhampton Wanderers and Millwall FC for the FA Cup Quarter Final weekend of 17th and 18th March.

It was a weekend of high drama, with Brighton coming from two goals down before beating 10-man Millwall on penalties and reaching their first FA Cup semi-final since 1983. And at Molineux, Wolves produced an outstanding second-half display to beat Man United and reach their first FA Cup semi-final for over two decades.

After an extensive 4K workflow test with BBC Sport a few weeks ago, our engineers used these two matches to benchmark HyperActive’s 4K-capable Avid Media Composer systems in a live environment. Everything went well, so we should be on track to introduce a full UHD editing workflow solution to next season’s cup competition.
