LiveU's LU800 5G backpacks, responsible for coverage of the Vitality London 10,000 race

Over Exposed y Gravity Media have joined forces to cover for BBC Red Button and YouTube the Vitality London 10,000 race with 5G Lu800 backpacks LiveU.

Over Exposed started using LiveU eight years ago. Since then, he has continued to rely on his technology, going from small streaming projects to large-scale streaming events for use in broadcast environments. for the race Vitality London 10.000, the producer expanded its park of backpacks four to six units combining teams LU300 y LU800. Over Exposed was responsible for deploy the solutions, manage signal acquisition via LiveU y process your shipment to the team of Gravity Media. Later, this second production company would be in charge of the production of images, including comments y graphics, before distributing them to the YouTube of the London Marathon and at the service Red Button of the BBC.

Russell Martin, co-owner of Over Exposed, provides more details of the production, such as the use of traveling cameras so that presenters could move freely throughout the race: “This gave us access that with a traditional OB truck would have been impossible or prohibitive.” The producer also used three motorcycles with LiveU units para seguir a los corredores: “Una vez más, esto nos proporcionó una flexibilidad y una reducción de costes inigualables, ya que de otro modo habríamos tenido que utilizar un helicóptero. No es necesario gastar grandes cantidades de dinero en el montaje de equipos en Londres, lo que, por supuesto, también es una pesadilla logística. No se necesitan permisos para grúas o aviones, etc. Es una forma de trabajar mucho más rentable, eficiente y flexible: nos permitió reunir un gran contenido donde queríamos. En combinación con el ahorro de recursos que permite la producción remota, junto con el 5G, que es sin duda una ventaja, aunque LiveU funciona brillantemente con 4G también, este fue un proyecto muy exitoso”.

Ryan Goad, head of communications London Marathon Events, also shown satisfied by the production: "The coverage achieved at the Vitality London 10,000 was excellent. The motorcycle-based imagery was very clear and helped bring to life a fantastic collection of elite races, as well as giving a real sense of the different emotions of the thousands of mass participation riders who took part in the event. The cost savings of using this technology cannot be ignored either as it is so significant." Finally, Malcolm Harland, country manager de LiveU in the UK, notes: "The way Over Exposed used our technology for this event is a true vindication of all the work LiveU has done in the sports market and beyond. Remote production, 5G (also 4G) and LiveU is a formidable combination of technologies and workflows that ultimately benefits the viewer."
