Camera Corps will play a key role in Euro 2012

Each of the eight venues in Poland and Ukraine, where the Euro Cup will take place, will have a significant deployment of mini-cameras.

Fifty cameras with remote control, including ten ultra-compact HD with Q-Ball pan/tilt/zoom, from Camera Corps They are already traveling to Poland and Ukraine to cover the Euro 2012, which will take place from June 8 to July 1.

A team of around twenty Camera Corps technicians will install these cameras at four locations in each of the two host countries. The cameras will contribute their signal to the International Broadcast Centers located in Warsaw and kyiv.

Each of the eight venues will have two Hitachi DK-H32 with a wide-angle optic located on a VHR head at the finish line. The Hitachi DK-H100 will be used as external beauty cameras, inside the Type 2B waterproof casing, placed on cranes for a general overview of each stadium.

David Sisson, senior support technician at Camera Corps, highlights that the new magnetic mounts on the Q-Balls will allow these cameras to be used from the goal itself. All cameras will be controlled via CCL Universal RCP and a joystick. All of our cameras will be operated in conjunction with Camera Corps' SMPTE 3K fiber link. This system transports control, genlock and power signals to each camera, in addition to returning the HD-SDI signal to production control.”

Presented last April at NAB, this link allows cameras to be operated at distances of up to five kilometers with complete security and reliability. In the case of the Q-Ball and Q-Ball Pre-Set systems, it is possible to operate them at more than 8 kilometers.
