GLOBECAM BRINGS VIEWERS ONTO THE PITCH FOR THE KFC T20 BIG BASH LEAGUE ON TEN

PRESS RELEASE

GLOBECAST AUSTRALIA’s internationally recognised GLOBECAM will bring viewers onto the pitch and into the action at the 2013/2014 KFC T20 BIG BASH LEAGUE starting this Friday 20 December on TEN.

Capturing those moments no other camera can, the lightweight and compact Globecam™ allows viewers to witness live and in High Definition the near misses, the painstaking saves and the power of world class bowlers and batsmen as they interact on the field-of-play.

Commissioned by Network Ten for the 2013/14 season, audiences won’t miss a beat as the revolutionary Globecam™ Helmetcam and Globecam™ Umpirecam transmit from twenty-one of the thirty-five KFC T20 BIG BASH LEAGUE games.

A finalist at this year’s IBC Innovation Awards for Globecam™ Helmetcam, GLOBECAST AUSTRALIA has since used feedback from Umpires on the field to reconfigure the smallest cameras of their kind, immediately transmitting pristine vision and sound.

Using the very latest in low latency digital link technology in various forms to suit the application, from short range, low-powered miniature links to the more traditional 2GHz microwave link technology, Globecam™ pictures are transmitted live and in High Definition directly from the field-of-play. A diversity antennae and receiver system located on the camera deck within the grandstand receives and decodes the pictures for integration with the Outside Broadcast production.

Offering viewers unprecedented on-the-ground vision across a number of domestic and international sporting codes, the Globecam™ suite of products are already used across Cricket, Rugby Union, Australian Rugby League and AFL, as well as V8 Supercar events, Iron Man races, triathlons, horse races, cycling and aerobatics.
