Olympic
Games Beijing 2008 |
LiveTools mobilized to provide Euro Media Group
/ SFP
with new technological means to achieve the long distance terrestrial
wireless HD RF coverage of all game events that took place outside of
the stadiums, with the only exception of the Sailing competitions.
SFP HF department has used our equipments on various Olympic venues in
Beijing, most
notably Road cycling, Marathon, Triathlon and Road Walk.
For the first time, mobile high-definition contribution has been achieved in
a terrestrial-only environment, without the ease of helicopter relays, exploiting only
multiple terrestrial reception sites.
In this difficult propagation scenario, Livetools products guaranteed robust and almost
error-free links with datarates over 15Mbps.
All these broadcasting needed:
- 40+ LiveRunner (transmitter)
- 100+ LiveTracer (receiver)
- 10+ Remote Control Systems to remote THOMSON LDK 8000 Head
to equip the
camera-motorcycles, Wescam-helicopters, terrestrial receiving sites.
Euro
Media Group dispatched to Beijing more than 100 people, 7 heavy mobile
production vehicules and accompagnying vehicules from different group companies
to provide multicamera coverage of numerous
competitions to international transmission signals.
