Every year the Swedish state’s gaming concern Svenska Spel highlight their most successful franchises with an annual conference and gala dinner. For the first time, Mediatec were chosen as supplier for this event with full technical responsibility. In other words, pictures, LED, lighting, sound, rigging, OB, operators and designers.
Minnesota were the agency / producers of the event.
Swedish Heroes is the gala where everyday heroes are in focus. Quite simply, ordinary people who do something extraordinary to help others. This can be courageous, humane or an act of civil kindness. At a ceremony held at Circus in Stockholm in December, prizes were awarded for Swedish Heroes Citizen, Child Hero and Guardian Angel, amongst others. For this event, Mediatec delivered screens, lighting, TV production, crew booking, link cameras and transmission.
For the fifteenth successive year, the Swedish football season ended with the Football Gala where prizes for the season were awarded. For Mediatec, the gala involves a full-service solution including screens, lighting, PA system, TV production, crew booking, link cameras and transmission.

For the 13th successive year, the Faddergalan was broadcast live on TV4, with the aim of creating awareness and action to help children at risk. The gala is a co-operation between TV4 and children’s rights organization Plan Sverige. This year’s theme was children’s rights and the gala highlighted the fact that the Children’s Convention was 20 years old.
On stage artists including Paul Potts, Melody Gardot, Markus Krunegård and Carola provided entertainment. Mediatec supplied a total solution including screens, lighting, TV production, crew booking, link cameras and satellite transmission.
On the 9th of September 2009, Kosterhavet, Sweden’s first Marine National Park was opened. Over a whole week festivities took place in both Sweden and Norway including music, interviews and Royal events. The inauguration was streamed to the Swedish parliament and local government offices as well as being broadcast on TV in Norway and Sweden.
Mediatec crews were on site at Koster, Skaerhalden and Strömstad with equipment including LED trailers, Flightpacks with Triax cameras, OB units, camera crew, uplinks for uplink and downlink and streaming technology.
P3 Guld (P3 Gold) is one of the biggest and the only TV and radio broadcast music gala in Sweden. Annually, Swedish Radio celebrates the year gone by and awards prizes in categories including Best Newcomer, Song of the Year, Pop Song of the Year and Rock/Metal Song of the Year.
On Tuesday the 19th of January the gala was broadcast on radio and TV for the seventh successive year. The audience at Scandinavium and home in their living rooms enjoyed events through Mediatec screens (Mitrix and Spider F30) at the front of the stage and as a backdrop.
Exhibitions, festivals, World Cups, galas, conferences, roadside installations, football, royal birthdays, congresses, trotting, loads of TV productons and much, much more. At Mediatec, 2009 has been packed full of exciting events – and we’re rounding it off with the last Swedish TV production of the year, the Midnight Bells.
From everyone at Mediatec, have a very happy 2010!
As part of the ’Julstaden Göteborg’ (Christmas in Gothenburg) annual event, every day between the 11th and 31st December the seasonal film ’Hjärtan som Julklappar’, which was produced by Eyebrite, will be shown. As in previous years, the film will be projected onto the facade of the city’s Museum of Art using Mediatec projectors. Sound and light technology are also supplied by Mediatec.
Over 50 million viewers across the world tuned into the first World Cup Biathlon competition in Östersund. Mediatec’s HD1 was there with 23 cameras for host production and 5 cameras for Swedish broadcasting. For German Television ZDF, HD6 was on site with 10 cameras and as usual, we supplied uplinks.
Mediatec also supplied 2 large screens for the 25 000 spectators in Östersund and for the first time, they were able to follow the competition in realtime, thanks to a graphic incorporated at the foot of the screen – a solution unique to Mediatec at this time.
During the year have we invested in two new remote camera systems, the SONY Z-700 and Sportcams 4 HD from TV Skyline. The cameras have different areas of application and are both High Definition and Standard Definition capable. Setup can be done as stand alone or together with multiple cameras in fibre network. Preset positions are available and the cameras can be operated over long distances both in and outdoors.
The Sportcam 4 has a unique fibre interface over which HD and SD signals, audio, communication, remote data and even 220-voltage power can be sent. This makes it possible to locate the camera up two 2km away from the OB unit and supply everything using just one simple SMPTE fiber cable.
