Mediatec signs new contract with Biathlon Event AB
Since 2002, Mediatec has delivered products and services to Biathlon Event AB, who work under the Swedish Ski Shooting Association and arrange all World Cup Ski Shooting competitions in Sweden. We’re pleased to announce that a new, 5-year contract through to 2014, has been signed. As it stands today, the flexible contract covers the delivery of mobile big screens and a new results system for the display of live broadcasts and results on the same screen.
Mediatec’s IT department has previously had a unique relationship with the German company SIWIDATA, supplier to the European Ski Shooting association (IBU) for the delivery of results displays for all World Cup and World Championship events. This relationship led to the creation of a system able to present results on big screens. Previously, results had been displayed on a separate monochrome screen. With the new system, the public are able to watch live pictures and at the same time, see results integrated in the picture in realtime.
Over the 2009-2010 Swedish ski shooting season, Mediatec will supply a mobile LED trailer, 54m2 in size and in 16:9 format as well as one 70m2 in size. In this way, 54m2 of the screen will be used to show the ’TV image’ while the remaining 16m2 will present competition results in realtime.
As well as this, flightcase production equipment in full broadcast quality (Triax) will be supplied for arena production. This will be used to compliment TV broadcasting, which will also be produced by Mediatec.
