Bolke Burnaby Lautier, Manager Operations Sports and Events with United said: “The quality of RTS systems is simply tremendous.” He added: “They are technically sophisticated, very easy to set up and extremely reliable.

Chelsea TV Enhances Match Coverage With LiveU’s LU70
LiveU has announced that Chelsea TV has deployed LiveU cellular uplinking technology. The portable video-over-cellular pioneer will provide live video coverage of Chelsea’s matches, enhancing its communication with its fan base. The company’s LU70 units have been used to transmit pre- and post-match interviews with managers and players, giving greater access to key personnel, while expanding its live coverage of matches at home and abroad. LiveU was recently used to cover the club’s 2012 pre-season tour of the USA. The club toured the US at the end of July to allow its US supporters to see the team live and also for the team to prepare for the new season. Chelsea FC played four tour matches against the Seattle Sounders, Paris St. Germain, an MLS All-Star game and AC Milan. LiveU technology was used to provide all-round coverage of the games with Chelsea TV using it to send content immediately back to the station’s modern facility at the club’s Stamford Bridge ground in London, dynamically switching between Wi-Fi and 3G networks, and also taking advantage of the Store and Forward facility. The content was then used to provide both up-to-date news and live coverage of the games. The LiveU concept has allowed the channel to increase its use of aslive content with Chelsea FC aiming to expand that to include greater coverage of pre-season tours and also training ground activity.

BSI Goes Mobile For Pro Surﬁng Comp
Broadcast Sports Inc. (BSI) has provided a handheld radio camera and a wireless PTRZ camera to film the Quiksilver Pro France surﬁng competition. This elite tour event featured surfers from around the world competing on 15-20 foot waves. To combat the elements, BSI created a package with two RF cameras that could be operated anywhere along the 10km stretch of sandy beach, next to the surf. The company also deployed their new waterproof wireless PTRZ camera, which was recently used on the yachts at the London games, and a handheld radio camera, with a Land Rover carrying four radio links. The set-up had four feeds with point-to-point links and multiplexers that ﬁred back to a master receive point. The Land Rover could move up and down the beach, up to 8km away from the media compound, which was producing the live web cast. BSI could send back the radio camera live feeds from the OB truck and the scoring for the competition from any point down the 10km stretch of the beach, without having to move the whole production. The competition, which is part of the Association of Surfing Professionals’ Great World Tour, took place on the sandy beaches of the Basco-Landaise coast and was shown on Eurosport TV and Fox Australia, and live through the Quiksilverlive.com website.
