Vision Scores At The UEFA Champions League Final

NEP Visions, a large independent outside broadcast company in the UK, was selected by NTV and RTR in Russia to deliver host broadcast facilities for the UEFA Champions League, which was held in Moscow's Luznhiki Stadium on May 21.
The event was the first all English UEFA Champions League final, between Chelsea and Manchester United.
Manchester United won the prestigious trophy, following a penalty shoot-out.
Visions were on hand to capture all the action, from every angle using more than 30 camera and 100 production and technical staff, operating out of a large OB production unit and a stand alone VT unit that work together in conjunction, ensuring all of its shots were right on target - even if the players were not.
Visions also provided host broadcast facilities at the match for Russian broadcasters NTV and RTR, something it has extensive experience of through its contract with Sky. Visions provide Sky with host broadcast facilities for its Premier League and UEFA Champions League coverage and will also be providing add-on facilities for Sky's coverage of the Moscow final. This amounts to a lot of football experience with more than 200 matches covered this season alone.
Visions also regularly provides host broadcast facilities to other major sporting events and was the only UK OB company to provide host broadcast services at the FIFA World Cup in Germany in 2006, and also provided HD host broadcast facilities for ITV at the Rugby World Cup in 2007.
Operations Director John Turnbull, who will oversaw the successful delivery of the match, said: "This event demonstrates our expertise in the area of major live sporting events and particularly host coverage, that we've developed through our Sky football coverage and other major events. With a large number of international broadcasters relying on our feeds in Moscow, it's crucial that we provide an efficient and reliable service. Experience counts for everything in that situation and that's why Visions were chosen for such a high profile event."
