Within the scope of the Hungarian Grand Prix at the Hungaroring in Budapest on July 24, 2016 HDwireless transmitted live TV from the actual Formula 1 event. HDwireless was commissioned by the Host Broadcaster as service provider. It was our task to transmit live video signals of the Formula 1 spectacle directly to the director from the locations paddock, pit lane, and starting grid.

By doing this, we very closely cooperated with Imre Sereg, the production manager on location , Patrick Nussbaum, Manager of HDwireless comments. By way of wireless camera technology we transmitted flexible and lively camera perspectives to the receiving unit RF1 of HDwireless. This HF-production vehicle is equipped with an antenna mast of 12meters in height.

For example: the program signal was relayed to the expert commentator's monitor.
