Bundesliga First For
Automated Audio Mixing
B

undesliga TV viewers are
enjoying a new sound
experience in their living
rooms.
DFL subsidiary Sportcast,
which
produces
all
Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2
matches, has launched a new
audio production system.
Live tracking data on the
players is used to set the
correct input levels for the
microphones used to record
what is going on in the field.
Sportcast coordinated the
activities of Lawo and ChyronHego,
and helped ready the technology. Lawo
developed the KICK software, which
operates as the interface between the
tracking data received and the digital
mixing consoles used. ChyronHego,

Lawo's KICK automated mix system

which is responsible for generating
the official Bundesliga match data,
provides the necessary tracking data
for the automated system.
The quality of the official match data

required for the technology
is monitored by Sportcast
subsidiary Sportec Solutions.
The Lawo KICK software
uses tracking data from
camera-based
technology
generates real-time data
in the stadium allowing
the exact position of the 22
players, referees and the ball
to be tracked.
Using
the
existing
microphones, their positions
on the edge of the field
and
their
directional
characteristics, the system determines
which microphone can best capture
what is happening on the field at any
given time and automatically sends
the necessary commands to the mixing
console.
