Unique RTVE deployment for the Copa del Rey final

Almost 150 TVE professionals will bring the most anticipated final to Spanish and foreign homes, through two signals in personalized and international high definition for more than 140 countries. 38 cameras distributed throughout the stadium will capture all the details, with aerial images from a helicopter and 4 cameras on the goals and goal lines to resolve controversial plays.

Spanish Television focuses on the final of the Copa del Rey, which will be broadcast by La 1 and TVE HD. The public broadcaster has planned a human and technical deployment at the level of a historic final. FC Barcelona-Real Madrid will meet in Mestalla (Valencia) in a match that TVE will produce in high definition for more than 140 countries. National Radio of Spain and the RTVE.ES website have also prepared special coverage to fully enjoy this meeting on all platforms.

The two greats of our football compete, before the TVE cameras, in the KO tournament. 21 years have passed since the last final they played and TVE has prepared special coverage for this match, which La 1 and TVE HD, the high definition channel, will broadcast live. Javier Quevedo directs this TVE device, which has Paco Grande as editor.

Fans will enjoy the Copa del Rey final like never before thanks to the work of nearly 150 public professionals. TVE will carry two signals, both in high definition: the international one for abroad; and the personalized one, with great detail, for Spain. This Barça-Madrid will be seen in more than 140 countries, with more than 110 live television stations.

A total of 38 cameras (28 for the multilateral signal and 10 for the personalized signal) strategically placed in each place in the stadium, will capture everything that happens on the pitch, the benches, the box, the press room and outside. There will even be two cameras in the goals and as many on the goal lines, which will allow any doubts to be resolved in the event of a 'ghost' goal.

In addition to all these own means, TVE will have a helicopter and a 'High Speed' camera, which will offer spectacular images of the crash.
