Behind the Production: SML Mobile Unit Supports the 2026 Mike Brown Invitational at The Huntington Club
HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA — November 9, 2026
Streaming Media Live was proud to provide our SML Mobile Unit in support of the 2026 Mike Brown Invitational, held at The Huntington Club in Huntington Beach, California. Bringing together world-class long-drive professionals, amateur golfers, and supporters of an important cause, the event combined competitive golf with a mission that extends far beyond the course.
Hosted by Driving Out Cancer, the Mike Brown Invitational is more than just a golf tournament. The event raises funds and awareness for cancer research while showcasing some of the longest hitters in professional golf.
For this year's production, SML provided our Mobile Unit to support the event's overall production operations, bringing professional broadcast infrastructure directly to the venue.
Bringing the SML Mobile Unit to The Huntington Club
Producing an event outside of a traditional broadcast facility requires careful planning, technical coordination, and the right equipment to bring everything together. That's where our SML Mobile Unit comes in. Designed to support live sports, entertainment, and special events, our Mobile Unit provides a centralized production environment equipped to handle the technical demands of professional broadcasting. For the Mike Brown Invitational, having the Mobile Unit on-site gave the production team access to dedicated broadcast infrastructure without needing to build an entire control room inside the venue.
Our Mobile Unit is designed to support workflows involving multiple camera sources, video switching, signal routing, audio integration, and technical monitoring, providing production crews with the flexibility needed to operate in different environments. Whether working at a major stadium, a golf course, or a unique event location, the goal remains the same: provide dependable infrastructure that allows the production team to focus on delivering the event.
Supporting the Production Behind the Scenes
While spectators enjoyed the action on the course, the production required coordination behind the scenes to bring the event together. The Mike Brown Invitational featured 36 professional long-drive competitors, with the top eight advancing to the televised final shootout. The championship brought an exciting combination of athleticism, power, and competition to The Huntington Club. Events like these require more than cameras and equipment. They depend on communication, reliable technical infrastructure, and the ability to adapt as the event unfolds.
By providing our Mobile Unit, SML helped support the production's technical operations, giving the crew a dedicated environment to manage the production workflow. Our team understands the importance of having equipment and infrastructure that can perform reliably under the demands of live event production. Every venue has its own challenges, and being able to bring an established broadcast environment directly to the location makes a significant difference. It's the type of work we take pride in: helping productions come together behind the scenes so the event can take center stage.
More Than Golf: Driving Out Cancer
One of the things that makes the Mike Brown Invitational special is the cause behind it. The tournament benefits Driving Out Cancer, an all-volunteer nonprofit organization dedicated to funding cancer research and supporting families and individuals affected by the disease.
Originally established as the Endless Summer Invitational in 2012, the event was renamed in honor of Michael Brown, whose generosity and commitment helped shape the tournament into what it is today.
Since its founding, Driving Out Cancer has raised more than $1.5 million through charitable donations and matching contributions, supporting cancer research projects and treatment assistance. This year's event brought together professional athletes, supporters, volunteers, and production professionals for something much bigger than the competition itself.
For Streaming Media Live, having the opportunity to contribute our production resources to an event with such a meaningful purpose is something we truly appreciate.
