European Athletics Championships: Lessons from a Live, HDR, HFR, UHD and Next-Generation Audio sports event

摘要

The European Broadcasting Union and several of its member organisations undertook an ambitious trial over the summer period — a live, UltraHD, High Dynamic Range, High Frame Rate, Wide Colour Gamut and Next Generation Audio trial at the European Athletics Championships in Berlin, Germany. The trial included four 2160p/100 cameras with live control of shading/racking, live vision mixing, live recording, live mixing of audio objects, audio-visual synchronisation with audio objects and live encoding. — This paper looks at the lessons learned during the trial — what went well, what needed extra work and what is needed to overcome current technical hurdles.
