Supporting sports and news coverage applications

摘要

We are living in an age of sports and news information and programming that features an abundance of events taking place around the world, feeding an international audience eager for access. The industry has evolved from local-only and even national-only coverage of sporting events to delivering access to everyone, everywhere via satellite, cable and the Internet. Support for global audiences is now a requirement, not an option, when developing and marketing these events. Following along with this trend are major changes in the equipment used to support the events, whether part of fixed facilities, the largest OB vans or compact, portable 'fly pack' systems. Additionally, unlike in the past, the array of technologies needed often requires a variety of specialised coverage teams and support personnel. This process will be especially evident during the pending summer games in London where the full gamut of international coverage will be offered, providing the world with every exciting event in every contemporary format.
