STAMFORD, Conn. - The energy across the NBC Sports Group's sprawling headquarters during the Olympics is palpable. About 1,100 workers are jammed into every available room in the 300,000-square-foot complex, spread across every hour on the clock to produce TV broadcasts, feed online streams, and clip highlights that go viral on social media in an instant.

Every second of video shot at the Olympics - including the intensely watched U.S. women's gymnastics team - passes through that small room on its way to the network's 1,800 terabytes of storage disks. That includes footage from 250 cameras used by NBC for its event coverage and broadcasts from eight studios; two in Rio and six in Stamford. There's also footage from 450 cameras used by the Olympics' host broadcast production service.
