Disguise has once again teamed up with Creative Technology to handle the visual playback backbone for the Eurovision Song Contest 2026. This marks the eighth consecutive year the two companies have worked together on the event, which is widely regarded as one of the most technically demanding live broadcasts in the world.
The production relies on GX 3 media servers, optimized IP-VFC workflows, and on-site engineering support to deliver high-performance visuals across the show's massive stage. With dozens of performances, rapid set changes, and live audience integration, the system must handle complex layering, real-time video mapping, and seamless switching without a single frame dropping.
Eurovision's production team pushes visual technology to its limits each year, requiring a setup that can adapt to unpredictable live moments. Disguise and Creative Technology provide the hardware and expertise to keep the show running smoothly, from the opening number to the final vote tally. The partnership has become a staple of the contest's technical backbone, ensuring that the millions of viewers at home see a polished, glitch-free broadcast.
