FIBA produces the Paris 3x3 Masters with the ATEM Constellation 8K

The ATEM Constellation 8K mixer Blackmagic Design was used by the company Stop and Go Production to produce the Paris Masters tournament, part of the world tour FIBA 3×3.

Stop and Go Production, based in Toulouse and specialized in the production of sporting events, was the responsible for transmitting the first edition of the Paris Masters at the emblematic Carreau du Temple. He did it from a IP mobile unit with 4K capabilities designed entirely by the company and prepared to accommodate four technicians. Olivier Gouze, part of Stop and Go, believes that these types of deployments are growing as the months go by: "Many sports do not have television rights and, instead, choose to broadcast from their own platforms in exchange for a small subscription fee. So, they turn to companies like us for expertise and assistance."

A fundamental element of the workflow that Stop and Go deployed for this FIBA tournament was a mixer ATEM Constellation 8K de Blackmagic, equipment complemented with a control unit ATEM 2 M/E Advanced Panel: "We have long enjoyed working with the ATEM line of mixers, and early in the design stage we decided that the Constellation 8K model would meet most of our needs. There is no other device on the market that comes close when considering the features it offers at this price. The user interface and accessory control devices make it an extremely simple mixer to use and operate. In addition, the optional control panels are so easy to use that it is easy to train new team members. staff.”

The deployment designed for the world tour FIBA 3×3 was completed with nine cameras and a system EVS for slow motion replays. Once the signal was produced, it was sent from the mixer to an encoder and retransmitted over the audio channel.

FIBA was delighted with the quality of our work this year and we will return next year to record everything that happens on the field."
