Vislink Receives Multi-Million Dollar Contract to Provide On-Board and Trackside RF Cameras and Remote Production Systems to ...
April 08 2021 - 8:30AM
Vislink, Inc. (Nasdaq: VISL) (the “Company”), the global technology
leader in collection, delivery and management of high quality, live
video and associated data, is partnering with NEP Group (“NEP”),
one of the world’s largest production companies, to provide its
cutting-edge RF Technology for the ground-breaking series, Extreme
E, a zero emission off-road racing program specially designed to
raise awareness of permanent damage due to climate change in some
of the world’s most remote and toughest locations.
Extreme E’s inaugural season will begin on April
2nd in Alula, Saudi Arabia and span four continents to bring
electric racing to some of the most remote corners of the planet.
The goal is to raise awareness of climate change consequences faced
by different ecosystems (deserts, rainforests and glaciers), while
also promoting sustainability, equality and the adoption of
all-electric SUVs to help protect the planet. The series will be
available on leading broadcasters throughout the world.
“Our wireless camera systems are able to capture
events in extreme conditions and remote areas, like Extreme E, that
highlight important issues that are core to our Vislink values such
as climate change, sustainability and gender equality,” said
Mickey Miller, CEO of Vislink. “For more than 50
years, we have provided viewers unique live broadcast experiences
that are even more central to entertainment today, considering most
events can only be enjoyed remotely.”
Vislink’s on-board systems have a pedigree for
reliability in the harsh in-car environment – vibration,
temperature extremes and robustness in the event of crashes. The
Company’s systems integrate into all production architectures—
Remote Production, IP or Satellite contribution. With near-zero
processing latency in the complex on-board camera system, the event
director can instantly switch between track and on-board views at
will and focus on capturing and displaying events that occur in the
blink of an eye down to millisecond resolution.
NEP will be providing its latest end-to-end
solutions including flypacks, remote production, crewing, satellite
and fibre connectivity, edit, ingest, augmented reality, GFX,
display and projection, and specialist cameras including RF. NEP’s
new UHD-ready centralized Broadcast and Media Centre in London will
provide extensive connectivity, remote production galleries, remote
replay, edit and live centre monitoring.
“Viewers now want to be able to see more
on-board camera views and join in on the action first-hand.
Vislink’s technology and 30-year involvement in motorsports, allows
us to cater to the modern viewer demand and create a greater sense
of community while advocating for sustainability,” said
Steve Jenkins, President, NEP UK & Ireland. “This will
ensure the series leaves a lasting legacy in each of the areas it
heads to, including tree-planting, clean-up operations and
solar-power initiatives.”
