Avid Everywhere powers Tour de France coverage for France Tlvisions

France T l visions is utilising Avid Everywhere to produce daily highlights coverage of the 2015 Tour de France cycling race. The post production team is relying on a collaborative workflow built on the Avid MediaCentral Platform, to manage the huge volume of race footage and create packages under tight deadlines.

The 2015 Tour de France started with the Grand D part in Utrecht, Netherlands on 4 July, and finishes with the victory parade on 26 July on the Champs-Elys es, Paris.

The Tour de France is a major sporting event on our production calendar, and it is crucial that we get our coverage right, said Gilles Parcq, technical manager, France T l visions. We needed a robust post production solution that could be set up easily each day, and that would enable us to manage a significant amount of content to help our editors find and work with the right clips. The combination of creativity and reliability offered by the Avid workflow fulfilled all our requirements.

France T l visions' OB vehicle which is travelling with the Tour, houses an Avid post production workflow based on Avid Interplay Production, Avid ISIS shared storage, and Avid Media Composer editing stations. The third-party integration offered by the Avid MediaCentral Connectivity Toolkit enables logged content from EVS video servers in a separate OB truck to feed directly to two Avid ISIS 5500 shared storage systems. The Interplay Production suite includes media production and asset management tools that allow the production team to quickly view, sort and select clips to create compelling highlights packages.

With the huge volume of assets it generates every day and the need for lightning-fast turnarounds, the Tour de France is a tremendous undertaking not only for the cyclists and their support teams, but also for the broadcast production teams covering the event, said Jeff Rosica, senior vice president, worldwide field operations, Avid. Avid is proud to be partnering with France T l visions to help them share the daily excitement and intensity of this incredible race with their viewers.
