500 million viewers?
On Sunday 6th November Mediatec ensured that an estimated 500 million viewers could catch the excitement of the Miss World 2011 crowning at Earls Court in London. Their large production unit, Mediatec HD2, was utilized by a professional production crew of around 20 people. It was on-site for a full week of rehearsals before the actual show on Sunday. Cranes, Steadicam, links and robotic cameras were all used in the production, which was transmitted live to 150 countries around the globe.
David Morgan, head of TV production for Miss World says: “For a live transmission like this we were anxious to get a technical provider that could guarantee top quality equipment and crew and still stay within budget. We made some changes in the setup during the rehearsal period but Mediatec delivered on the mark every time. That’s what counts.”
According to Allan Parsons, Mediatec project manager, HD2 could easily accommodate all the different wishes from Production.
