Capture, Produce and engage
Challenges
Live sports productions are among the most demanding in the media industry. They require a variety of high-quality signal sources, including UHD/HDR and WCG formats, to ensure the main production meets the highest standards. Additionally, HD/SDR signals from all camera sources are needed for applications like VAR, and these must also be of the highest quality.
To capture super slow-motion footage, it's essential to use cameras with both normal and increased refresh rates. Moreover, the production setup should include a mix of wired and wireless camera systems to provide comprehensive coverage. The introduction of virtual advertising replacement systems adds another layer of complexity, as these systems impose specific requirements on the readout mode of camera sensors.
Addressing these diverse needs demands solutions that are both powerful and flexible. Advanced broadcasting equipment and technologies are essential to ensure that all aspects of the production, from standard footage to high-speed and virtual applications, are covered efficiently and effectively.
In Summary
- High Demands: Among the most demanding types of productions.
- Multiple Signal Sources: Use many high-resolution (UHD/HDR and WCG) signals.
- VAR Requirements: Need HD/SDR signals from all cameras in high quality.
- Super Slow-Motion: Requires cameras with both normal and increased refresh rates.
- Wireless Cameras: Necessity alongside wired systems.
- Virtual Advertising: Specific demands on camera sensor readout modes.
- Powerful and Flexible Solutions: Essential to meet diverse and complex production needs.
