Broadcast RF Supply Link Wirele Camera Systems For X Games

Broadcast RF supplied their new Sony HDC-P1 steadicam rig plus two other Link systems for the latest X Games event. The other two radio cameras supplied were mounted on Thomson LDK8000s and both had return vision built into Broadcast RFs lightweight LDK camera backs.

All systems were able to operate anywhere within the X Games competition grounds and worked into two distinct OB flypacks supplied by NEP Visions. Receive sites were located at the Big Air, Rally, Moto X and on the race park control tower allowing seamless coverage of the wireless cameras. Broadcast RF sent a team of three engineers to ensure the wireless operation was installed and operated flawlessly for the duration of just under two weeks that they were required on site.

The competition was first held under the name of Extreme Games in 1995, and has grown dramatically since. Originally held in Los Angeles, Aspen and Tignes, it was announced in May 2012 that the X Games host cities would grow by three in 2013. Of nine finalists, the three new cities were chosen: Barcelona, Munich and Foz do Igua u. The new additions to the X Games now means that annually, there are four summer events (Los Angeles, Barcelona, Munich and Foz do Igua u), and two winter events held (Aspen and Tignes). Summer events include Moto X, Inline Skating, Car Racing, Skateboarding and BMX, whereas winter events include Skiing, Snowboarding and Snowmobile.

The X Games will take a short break, before the competition is invited to Barcelona for the third instalment of the 2013 calendar. Just under a month after the conclusion of the Foz do Igua u events, this will be certain to thrill extreme sports fans worldwide.

Chris Brandrick, Broadcast RFs Sales director said Using the Link L1500 on our New Sony HDC-P1 steadicam set up worked faultlessly. We knew the L1500s strengths would be ideally suited for what we wanted to achieve.
