Multi-camera and OB production

Full outside broadcast for bigger events

An outside broadcast (OB) brings a mobile control room to your venue. Several cameras, replays, graphics and sound are mixed live into one professional programme.

  • Multi-camera coverage with live switching
  • Replays and on-screen graphics
  • Feeds for broadcasters, big screens and streams

REMI remote production

Broadcast quality without the full crew on site

REMI means remote production. Cameras and a small crew work at your venue, and the show is directed and mixed from our control room over a fast internet link.

What it means for you: fewer people and less equipment travelling to the venue, which makes regular broadcast coverage practical for regional fixtures, long seasons and remote locations.
