Sony Technology Captures 4K Video At Roland Garros
France Télévisions is live operating the acclaimed Sony HDC-4300 system cameras to deliver simultaneous production in 4K, HDR and HD from this year's Roland Garros in Paris.
The grand slam tennis tournament is using Sony technology for live production on the Philippe-Chatrier central court.
The PWS-4500, Sony's new 4K live production server, is also being used in France Télévisions' infrastructure for 4K ISO recording, provided by Video-Plus rental facility. The 4K stream will be available for CANAL+ and Eurosport subscribers, to deliver an experience to tennis enthusiasts across Europe.
To deliver enhanced coverage from the "Court Annexes" the service facility Gearhouse France has worked in collaboration with rental company Genitech. They have chosen Sony's BRC-H800 robotic cameras in conjunction with RM-IP500 remote controller once again, recognising its superior behavior in high dynamic "sunny" conditions. Designed for unattended operation, BRC-H800 is a compact but powerful PTZ robotic camera and a complement to other broadcast cameras for capturing images in hard-to-reach positions.
Exclusively for the French Open, Eurosport has launched a new 4K channel 'Eurosport 4K'. Broadcasting in 4K from the centre court, Eurosport 4K is airing in the UK, via Sky Q and Virgin TV, and in France (CANAL+), Germany (HD+) and Spain (Orange). The grand slam tournament will be running until 10 June.
