Broadcast Services
BROADCAST SERVICES ARE THE MAINSTAY OF OUR BUSINESS AND ARE MADE UP OF THREE DISTINCT BUT INTERTWINED AREAS – INTEGRITY SERVICES FOR THE STEWARDS, BROADCASTING SERVICES FOR TERRESTRIAL AND SATELLITE BROADCASTERS AND PRODUCING AND DIRECTING RACECOURSE TELEVISION PROGRAMMES.
INTEGRITY SERVICES TO THE STEWARDS
Integrity services are a vital element of every race delivered by RaceTech to the stewards at every course. Each race is covered by a minimum of 5 camera positions delivering high definition video from all angles including head on, side on, high level hoist and gantry cameras and new innovative technologies including super slow motion, drone and portable radio cameras.
The race stewards have direct access and control of real time and replay footage from each camera angle enabling them to observe and review races with unparalleled precision.
Full race coverage is stored online in a RaceTech managed media library for access by race officials.
BROADCASTING SERVICES FOR TERRESTRIAL AND SATELLITE BROADCASTERS
With its fleet of high spec fully HD mobile control units and support vehicles, RaceTech’s skilled team delivers exceptional live coverage of every race. Live coverage is directed and produced in partnership with broadcasters and delivered via fibre optic direct to air.
International feeds, fully produced racecourse TV output and live broadcast streams are delivered simultaneously with dedicated coverage vital to protecting the integrity of the sport.
Engineering
The engineering team support both the visual input and output and the audio input and output, to maintain quality of service, regardless of the weather, the conditions, or the speed of the action and are sensitive to the requirements of third parties requiring feeds. The Unit Manager oversees all of the broadcast activities, ensures that all races and any additional footage is recorded as required and acts as liaison on the day with broadcasters and event host.
