A great article by Carolyn Braff, Managing Editor of the Sports Video Group on some of the broadcast challenges at the recent Winter Olympics in Vancouver.
Jeff Coleman is a veteran sports producer, having spent the last decade producing a variety of events from countries around the globe. But nothing could prepare him for the challenges of spending 17 days broadcasting eight alpine ski events atop a mountain. Home to men and women’s downhill, super combined, Super-G, slalom, and giant slalom Olympic events, Whistler Creekside is a steep, unforgiving hill, made all the more difficult to navigate because the rest of the mountain remains open to the public throughout the Games. Coleman took a few minutes out of his non-stop schedule to explain to SVG how his team has overcome the early challenges that this venue – and these Games – have posed to his Olympic Broadcast Services productions.
Of course, Telecast and fiber optics were a critical component in delivering all those great images you saw. Jeff said: "The Telecast SHEDs where we can send six cameras back on one fiber, that system is fantastic. I’m pretty pleased with the way that was installed."
