Partnering for Precision: How C King Media and Fit X Imagery Delivered Seamless Coverage at NPC NY Pro
For events as fast-paced and high-pressure as the NPC NY Pro, success hinges on more than just gear—it depends on the teamwork behind the broadcast.
At the 2022 and 2023 shows held at the Teaneck Marriott in New Jersey, C King Media worked alongside Fit X Imagery to provide full-scale livestream production, giving athletes, families, and fans the coverage they deserved.
It wasn’t just a stream—it was a synchronized, multi-angle broadcast planned, tested, and executed down to the second.
Here’s how that collaboration worked—and why it’s a model we bring to every major event.
The Roles: Who Did What
At a competition with over a dozen categories, multiple athlete waves, and limited setup time, roles need to be clear and communication constant.
C King Media handled:
Multi-camera stage capture
Live switching and stream monitoring
Redundant audio feeds and backups
Real-time adjustments during lineup shifts
Fit X Imagery focused on:
Athlete portrait and stage photography
Photo editing and digital delivery
Coordination with judges, organizers, and event schedules
Branding, signage, and visual consistency
Together, the production team delivered a unified, friction-free experience—on stage and online.
The Setup: Designed for Speed and Scalability
Time is tight at events like this. You don’t get hours of setup. You get minutes.
To meet that challenge, we arrived early and deployed:
A three-camera system: wide, tight center, and side angle
Hardwired network connections with cellular fallback
Live audio integration from the emcee’s system
A portable command station to handle switching and monitoring
Our station was built to adapt in real time: if a division was ahead of schedule, we were already ready.
Why Multi-Camera Coverage Matters for Fitness Events
Bodybuilding and physique competitions rely on angles and framing. A single camera can’t do the job.
Multi-camera coverage ensures:
Clear shots of every division entry, pose, and turn
Cutaways to award presentations or crowd reactions
Zoomed framing for solo routines or guest posing
Replay-friendly footage for athletes and sponsors
Athletes train for years. A livestream should reflect that same level of care.
The Collaboration: Why It Worked
C King Media and Fit X Imagery work well together for a simple reason: shared standards.
We both:
Prioritize professionalism over flash
Respect the venue, crew, and event flow
Operate under pressure without creating stress
Care about delivering the best possible product—not just getting through the schedule
This kind of collaboration doesn’t just benefit the stream—it benefits the entire event.
Final Thought
Behind every great live stream is a great team.
The NPC NY Pro reminded us of the value of communication, preparation, and partnership. Whether you’re planning a regional fitness show or a multi-day national event, choosing production partners who understand each other can make the difference between “adequate” and exceptional.
