Terrible Herbst covers races with Marshall's POV cameras

The CV574 miniature POV camera combination Marshall with the satellite system Starlink allows the team Terrible Herbst cover highly demanding races in UHD quality from remote locations.

The director of media and aerial production for Terrible Herbst Motorsports, Bryan Moore, recently decided to start using the camera CV574 of Marshall, which offers a “level of reliability and quality” that its previous solutions “could not achieve.” "Marshall cameras, with their built-in encoders and 4K wide-angle lenses, enable HD streaming without the need for additional hardware, making the system more efficient. The highlight for us is the internal encoder. It simplifies our setup while providing top-notch quality. The cameras withstand extreme heat and do not overheat, a crucial factor in desert environments," he explains.

Network Streaming POV Camera CV574 It is built around a UHD sensor of Sony with more than 8.46 million pixels. The solution delivers 4K (Ultra-HD) video performance over an HDMI and Ethernet IP interface supporting ultra-efficient NDI HX3, SRT and HEVC codecs from a rugged aluminum alloy frame with rear I/O protection fins. Sony's Ultra-HD sensor delivers razor-sharp, color-accurate video with improved low-light sensitivity, refined remote adjustment capability and flexible interchangeable lenses.

In addition to the Marshall CV574 cameras, Moore's team takes advantage of the satellite network Starlink to livestream the races, a feat previously considered nearly impossible due to the extreme conditions: "People don't realize that we are driving a truck at 140 miles per hour across four-foot potholes in the desert and sending a high-definition signal to space and back in three seconds. This technological leap allows for seamless livestreams, bringing viewers closer to the action in real time, something that was previously unattainable in such harsh environments."

This Marshall and Starlink POV camera workflow is attracting the attention of major industry organizations. racing, including offshore boat racing, Australia's Finke Desert Race and the Dakar Rally. Despite being “a totally new market”, demand “is growing”, which has allowed them to sell specific mobile units for highly demanding contexts.

Looking ahead, Moore plans to expand the use of these systems by adding additional cameras in every production vehicle and even integrate helicopter systems to provide complete racing coverage. "What we're doing now is just the beginning. The technology is starting to take off, and innovative companies like Marshall are helping us lead the charge," Moore concludes.
