Timeline are providing the RF facilities for the Great Scottish Run this weekend!
Timeline provide all the RF facilities for FilmNova, one of Britain’s leading independent sports producers. As part of this Timeline provides wireless cameras on the Great Run series, the country’s biggest series of mass-participation running events that are televised live on the BBC.
Motorcycle mounted cameras have been proven to be the best way to cover the 10km Great Manchester Run and Timeline relays the pictures via a fixed wing aircraft circling overhead at 25,000 feet. We specially developed airborne systems for FilmNova using new state of the art technology to give unbroken, high quality pictures as the motorbikes weave through city streets.
All the RF facilities are monitored and controlled from Timeline’s new technical van ‘RF10’. It is equipped with a 12m telescopic mast, racks of RF receivers, comprehensive RF, vision routing and control facilities.
As well as capturing the action, we also provide the satellite link to show the programmes live on BBC TV and via the second feed to the rest of the world as well as downlinking the footage adding commentary from our voice over facility. We then send the mixed world feed via BT Tower, as well as streaming it live to the USA. We then create a highlights programme in our post production facility for playout at a later date.
