Blackmagic Design today announced that Equidia, the first television channel in Europe dedicated to Horse Racing, has developed a Blackmagic Design live production workflow to produce and broadcast its live events.
Central to the project was a need to modernize the video production and live broadcast capabilities at racecourses throughout France, including an upgrade from analog SD to HD.
Equidia enlisted Anjou-Image to design and build a mobile control room solution, which featured the ATEM 2 M/E Production Studio 4K switcher, HyperDeck Studio Mini and URSA Broadcast.

We've been working on this project with AMCO (Anjou Maine Centre Ouest), the regional federation of horse racing, for several years now, and we're delighted to have successfully taken these first steps, begins Pierre-Yves Maillet, CEO of Anjou-Image.
Adding: The HD capture from Blackmagic Design has quickly proved to be the most suitable solution in terms of quality and pricing.
Philippe Foucher, Director of the AMCO Federation, says: As a technical group, we support 33 racecourses with their video production needs, and this upgrade has expanded what we can offer. This represents nearly 250 days of filming. Anjou-Image has designed a mobile control room solution based on Blackmagic Design, allowing us to offer a premium quality service to all of our racecourses.

As part of the solution, Blackmagic Micro Studio Camera 4Ks have been deployed at the start line to allow race officials and the production team to review key moments in slow motion. All live video signals are routed back to and recorded using HyperDeck Studio Mini broadcast decks.
It is common for race officials to review race action in slow motion, whether that's to control the pace in trotting races or to analyze any sudden line changes at the finish of a gallop race, for example.

The ability to review action from the mobile control room has been a considerable asset, says Pierre-Yves Maillet.
The rollout of our first mobile control rooms has paved the way for a project of national ambition; The broadcasting of all horse racing in France, accessible to all and free of charge, and in high definition, concludes Philippe Foucher.
