Project Casestudy:
Olympics & Paralympics
About Olympics & Paralympics:
Beijing 2008. The first Olympics to be produced and broadcast entirely in HD.
Job Overview:
We were approached two years in advance of the Beijing Olympics by the BBC, one of five broadcasters we supplied kit for, to see if we could provide them what they needed at an affordable price. This required massive amounts of kit for use in their nightly highlights show. We also sent two of our engineers over to Beijing. We wanted to ensure that any difficulties the crew had could be solved directly and quickly.
