PARIS, July 11,
2024 /PRNewswire/ - Haivision Systems
Inc. ("Haivision") (TSX: HAI) today announced that France
Télévisions will provide coverage of the pre- and post-competition
activities of the surfing event at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. In partnership with
Haivision, the world leader in live video contribution over any
network, and Obvios, developers of software-based private 5G
network solutions, France Télévisions will produce UHD exclusive
content during the Olympic surfing event.
The surfing competition at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games will take place over
four days during a 10-day window from July
27 to August 5 from Teahupo'o, Tahiti as part of an
initiative to expand the Games across France. To provide engaging behind-the-scenes
coverage and ensure maximum freedom of camera movement, the France
Télévisions team will leverage the latest 5G broadcast transmission
innovations from Haivision and Obvios. The coverage will include
live content such as interviews with the athletes in the Olympic
Village and live shots from a boat-based camera.
In Teahupo'o, France Télévisions' field production team will
deploy the ultra-low latency Haivision Pro460 mobile video
transmitters to capture and transmit live contribution streams of
pre- and post-event content. The transmitter feeds will be sent
over the Obvios private 5G Dome network to Haivision StreamHub
receivers located at the postproduction center at Teahupo'o beach.
Fully produced content will be transported to France Télévisions'
broadcast production center in Paris for broadcast across its networks using
Haivision StreamHub's IP gateway capabilities.
The Haivision Pro is a groundbreaking and versatile mobile video
transmitter ideal for live video contribution of sports, events,
and news over cellular networks, including private 5G networks like
the Obvios Dome solutions which provide ultra-reliable, low
latency, high-bandwidth, mobile, and secure connectivity for
multimedia communications, voice, and data services.
Thierry Jacob, Director of
Overseas Resources and Development, France Télévisions
said:
"Utilizing 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 revolutionize the way France
Télévisions Overseas production teams work and will bring viewers
closer to the competitions and the athletes than ever
before."
Jean-Marc Racine, Chief
Product Officer, Haivision added:
"Haivision is extremely proud to partner with France
Télévisions for coverage of the surfing event and its athletes
during the Paris 2024 Games. This
