UEFA UHD IP Remote Production Trial
U

EFA has delivered the world's
first uncompressed UHD remote
production trial during the 2017 UEFA
European Under-21 Championship
Final.
During the Championship final game
in June, the IP system delivered live
camera signals from the stadium in
Krakow, Poland to UEFA who were

located at BT Sport's facility at the
Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in
London.
On the trial, André Nel, UEFA's
Senior
Broadcast
Engineering
Manager, said: "This successful test
represents a major milestone for
UEFA as we continue to innovate and
explore remote production solutions

ahead of the incredible challenges that
future finals and UEFA EURO 2020 -
with matches played in 13 different
countries - will present."
Working closely with Gearhouse
Broadcast, SAM delivered a complete
Proof of Concept (POC) IP-based
remote production system to UEFA.
Live UHD signals from five Sony HDC
4300 4K/HD cameras at the stadium
were sent via a specially installed and
commissioned pair of fully redundant
100GB Ethernet links. The signal was
delivered to a production control room
provided by BT Sport in London with
a Director, Vision Mixer, PA, Graphics,
Audio Supervisor, LiveTouch operator
and Producer. The SAM LiveTouch
server was used in a 2 in/2 out UHD
configuration to play UHD replays,
packages and graphics.
