TSL To Meet FIFA World Cup
Audio Challenges For BBC
B

BC Sport will rely on two of
TSL's SoundField X-1 Upmix/
Downmix Processors during its
production of the 2014 FIFA World
Cup.
The two devices will supplement
the existing six that are permanently
installed at the broadcaster's
MediaCityUK base for other regional
and international major events
and tournaments throughout the
sporting calendar.
Dave Lee, lead sound supervisor
for BBC Sport said: "The SoundField
X-1 anchors dialogue and reality
audio to the front, whilst offering
near-instantaneous upmix/downmix
processing. This is essential during
a live, action-packed broadcast,
such as the World Cup, as it
helps to ensure that the sound
will never fall out of sync with the
associated vision."
During the World Cup, long
periods of the transmissions
use genuine 5.1 actuality sound

broadcasters covering the world's

Dejero LIVE+ Mobile Transmission
Solutions and Support

USA: LiveU will offer support
to customers at the FIFA
World Cup 2014 in Brazil.
Over 200 LiveU units will
be deployed in the 12 host
cities across Brazil by media
companies from over 30 countries.
LiveU units will offer live video
transmission, as well as hot spot
connectivity via the new LiveU
DataBridge solution, which turns
any LiveU unit into a bonded cellular
hotspot for any kind of Internet
usage on any device.

Nevion Plays
College Sports
BBC Sport will create a surround sound atmosphere for its viewers of the Brazil
2014 World Cup with TSL Products' SoundField X1 5.1 upmix/downmix processor

and crowd atmosphere, along
with panned commentary and
studio dialogue. However, when
broadcasting out of match play time,
the majority of audio is stereo or dual
mono content. BBC Sport will route
this audio material through a signal
path to an X-1 in upmix mode. The
upmixed audio will then contribute

directly to the 5.1 mix bus.
TSL Products' SoundField
X-1 Upmix/Downmix Processor
successfully separates the
dispersed crowd sound, reﬂections,
reverb and atmosphere - offering
the user adjustable parameters
to position this diffused sound as
desired into 5.1 image.

Dejero To Support Broadcasters In Brazil

LiveU Supports
FIFA World Cup

largest football event in Brazil.
Beginning in early June,
broadcasters will be able to rent
the award-winning Dejero LIVE+
20/20 Transmitter and install the
Dejero LIVE+ Mobile App on their
iOS and Android smartphones and
tablets, enabling them to transmit
live coverage and also to store and
forward video for later broadcast.
Both the LIVE+ 20/20 Transmitter
and the LIVE+ Mobile App give video
journalists the ability to encode and
transmit broadcast-quality video
directly over LTE, 4G, 3G, Wi-Fi, or
Ethernet connections from locations
that are impractical for traditional

news vehicles to access. The LIVE+
20/20 Transmitter is a rugged and
portable bonded wireless system
that can be easily transported from
venue to venue, and the LIVE+
Mobile App is installed on the
reporter's mobile device.
Both are ideal for capturing news
reports and "colour" footage such
as interviews with players, team
training sessions, and enthusiastic
fans entering and leaving the arenas.
Dejero will also provide Brazilian
SIM cards for each transmitter
and mobile device, and supply incountry technical support to ensure
transmission success.

USA: Nevion's TVG450 JPEG 2000
gateway has been selected by two of
the largest college sports networks
in the USA to transport television
signals over contribution networks.
The gateway enables them
to deliver high quality video
over cost-efficient IP links, both
existing and ad-hoc connections,
with reduced bandwidth
consumption due to compression.
With the TVG450, the networks
have the ﬂexibility of connection
management through Connect,
VideoIPath, or any third-party
network management system.

Eyeheight's World
Football Coverage
GBR: Eyeheight compliance
legalisers have been chosen for
television coverage of the 2014
world football championship in Brazil.
Eyeheight Sales Director Martin
Moore said: "The LE-2M legalisers are
designed to ensure that the levels of all
signals arriving from onsite cameras
or remote feeds are kept safely within
a user-specified chroma gamut."
A total of 12 LE-2M channels
housed in two 1U-high chassis
will be on site.
