European Championships with Stage Racer 2
The European Championships is a major new multi-sport event taking place every four years with over 40 broadcasters covering the Championships across Europe and Worldwide. The 2018 edition took place in Berlin and Glasgow.
France Télévisions relied on the Stage Racer 2 to cover this 10 days event, with more than 100 hours of live broadcasting.
The decentralised networking capabilities of the Stage Racer 2 allow all locations to access the different feeds they required, thanks to the routing and distribution capabilities of the Stage Racer 2.
5 Stage Racer 2 were used for this event to ensure France Télévisions signals production:
– 2 were located in the France Télévisions production OB-Van to manage audio & video transmitted/received signals to/from Berlin & Glasgow,
– 2 were located in the master control room where all feeds are managed by the EBU and redirected to all broadcasters,
– 1 was located in the editing room of the TV compound.
Additionnally, a set of Stage Racer 1 was also used for the signals between the OB-Van and the TV set in the stadium.
The following schematic provides an overview of the setup.
