Timeline is delighted to be working with FilmNova, one of Britain’s leading independent sports producers and specialists in athletics coverage, to provide presentation coverage of the 9th World Para Athletics Championships. Timeline’s brand new IP 4K HDR outside broadcast truck, UHD2, will be on site at the London Stadium to deliver the live broadcasts of the 9-day event.
