Vinten systems are World Cup's leading 'supporter'

Vinten have revealed that 70 of the company's Vector and Vision systems are being used to support and control cameras at the World Cup.
For the World Cup, EVS Broadcast Equipment was supplied with 31 Vinten Vector 700 Pan and Tilt Heads for use in all the 20 venues, together with their Super Motion camera systems to provide shots from low angles and elevated reverse angles. The cameras will also record footage of personalities and players and at cover both the centre line and behind the goals.
The Vector 700’s tailored drag characteristic is useful for OBs as it allows a high level of control for slow and fast action image capture ideal for slow motion replay.
Gearhouse Broadcast - suppliers of digital broadcast technology to the television industry - are one of Vinten’s largest customers and are also supplying equipment for the event.
Gearhouse Broadcast's Technical Director, Kevin Moorhouse, said: "The big Vector heads are nice and heavy and are well engineered. The operators like them and find them reliable. All the heads and tripods in all 32 matches will be Vinten together with pedestals being used for some of the studio work."
Vinten specialise in the design and manufacture of manual and robotic camera supports for all video, film and broadcast applications together with precision camera tracking solutions for virtual productions.
