September 09 2019 - 10:14AM
Vislink Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: VISL), global leader in live
video production, is pleased to announce a further three-year
contract with Dorna Sports, S.L., under which Vislink remains
official RF systems supplier for video communications, including
onboard systems, for MotoGP, the premier motorcycle racing circuit
in the world.
The MotoGP racing series showcases many of the fastest riders
and innovative motorcycle technology available today. MotoGP events
are carried by over 100 broadcasters and are seen by over 400
million viewers worldwide. Vislink has enjoyed a long-standing
relationship with Dorna, the exclusive commercial and television
rights holder for MotoGP, that dates back to 2002.
“The continuation of our engagement with Dorna
is testament to our leadership in live sports broadcasting, and
delivering reliable, crystal-clear video to MotoGP fans around the
globe,” said John Payne, President and COO of Vislink.
The technological requirements in delivering an
RF system rugged and robust enough to meet the challenging demands
of MotoGP are considerable: it must provide stable, stunning
imagery from motorcycles that reach top speeds over 200mph, undergo
relentless acceleration and deceleration, and are subjected to
fierce vibrations and lean angles of 70 degrees.
Designed in conjunction with Dorna, the Vislink
solution comprises a custom-built video transmission system which
is then allied to a receive infrastructure supporting multiple
onboard cameras as well as pit lane and paddock cameras. The
network is able to receive the Vislink downlink system as used in
the Dorna helicopter and is purpose-built for robustness at high
speed. Vislink also incorporates specialized mounting components to
meet the rigors of the track and withstand very high levels of
vibration. Notably, the system can accomplish all this while using
the minimum transmit power possible. Vislink’s latest award-winning
encoding technology and advancements in receiver and filter
components help to further deliver outstanding picture quality from
multiple sources, all whilst featuring excellent spectral
efficiency.
“We are proud to have worked closely with
Dorna over the years to develop and incorporate numerous onboard
technology innovations that help immerse viewers in this
exhilarating sport,” said Mr. Payne.
