Blackmagic Design has announced that Mumford and Sons six show tour of South Africa featured a live to screen fibre optic workflow incorporating Blackmagic s studio cameras, ATEM 1 M/E Production Studio 4K and HyperDeck Studio Pro.

For the band s first ever tour of South Africa, promoter Hilltop Live approached local specialists Militia Broadcast about supplying the IMAG projection, PPU, camera packages and crew during the band s Cape Town, Durban and Pretoria gigs.

Armed with the tour s technical rider, Eban Olivier and the Militia Broadcast team specced out the tour s production requirements.

Coverage of the shows consisted of five ground positions, including two Blackmagic Studio Camera 4K with 400mm and 600mm long lenses, two 24-105mm pit cameras on dollies as well as an interchangeable, shoulder mounted stage camera for capturing any down the line shots and pick ups. A Micro Studio 4K was also used to capture a reverse shot of the piano, alongside two Pocket Cinema Cameras on the drum kits.

Militia Broadcast ran optical fibre feeds back into the eight channel ATEM Studio Converter and then split each ISO signal to its own HyperDeck Studio Pro for recording while also routing them to the ATEM switcher, where Price produced the live feed for the two big screens, flanking either side of the stage. A pair of 17 inch SmartView 4Ks were used for monitoring, whilst shading ran through the ATEM s Software Control on a laptop. S1 Sennheiser Aviator Headsets were used for programme audio and show calling.

The all in one modular approach of Blackmagic s studio cameras means they are pure utopia for a traveling tour such as this. You simply drop down one fibre cable per channel and that gives you camera control, tally and talkback as well as shading, explains Olivier.
