Haivision has announced a partnership with France Télévisions to provide coverage of surfing at Paris 2024.
France Télévisions will provide live coverage of the event plus pre and post-competition activities from Tahiti, where the surfing is set to take place.
To capture and transmit live contribution streams, the broadcaster’s team in Teahupo’o will deploy ultra-low latency Haivision Pro460 mobile video transmitters. The feeds will be sent over Obvios private software-based 5G Dome network to Haivision StreamHub receivers at the post production centre at Teahupo’o beach.
Produced content will then be transported to France Télévisions’ Paris broadcast production centre for distribution across its networks using Haivision StreamHub’s IP gateway, said the company.
Thierry Jacob, director of overseas resources and development, France Télévisions, said:
“Utilising the latest technology including a private 5G cellular network from Obvios and the cellular contribution solutions from Haivision will enable us to provide viewers with unprecedented UHD coverage of the athletes before and after the surfing competition during the Olympic Games. The technology powering the work in Tahiti will revolutionise the way France Télévisions Overseas production teams work and will bring viewers closer to the competitions and the athletes than ever before.”
Coverage will include content such as interviews from the Olympic Village and live shots from a boat-based camera.
“Haivision is extremely proud to partner with France Télévisions for coverage of the surfing event and its athletes during the Paris 2024 Games,” said Jean-Marc Racine, Haivision’s chief product officer. “This collaboration showcases innovation combining the Haivision Pro and StreamHub receiver, along with the power of private 5G connectivity from Obvios. Together, we’re setting a new standard for how large-scale events are covered and presented to the audience.”
The Paris 2024 Olympic surfing takes place over four days during a 10-day window between July 27th and August 5th.
