Visions Bowls Century TV Over

Visions, a large independent outside broadcast company in the UK, has been selected by UK-based production company Century TV to provide coverage of the Stanford 2020 for $20 million Super Series cricket tournament, which will take place at the Stanford Cricket Ground in Antigua between October 25 and November 1.
The event features the England cricket team against the Stanford Superstars.
The Stanford 2020 for $20m Super Series will offer the largest team prize for a sporting event with US$20million on offer to the winning team, with nothing for the runner up!
Tim Allsop, Project Manager at Visions, explained: "Due to the prestigious nature of the tournament and the value of the prize money, Century TV needed an OB company with extensive experience of delivering High Definition flypack solutions and exceptional cricket coverage."
For the event, Visions will be demonstrating how its extensive experience of flypacks allows it to deliver the most comprehensive solutions. 18 tonnes of equipment will be flown to Antigua including 27 cameras, three of which are High Definition radio cameras.
Visions will be broadcasting the entire tournament in 1080 50i, making it the first HD broadcast from the Caribbean and one of the first international cricket matches outside of the UK to be broadcast in HD.
Broadcasters taking the feed include Sky in the UK who will show the tournament live and have a small presentation studio at the ground.
Super Sport South Africa will be broadcasting Visions coverage and ESPN will also be taking the live feed to broadcast in Australia, New Zealand and the USA.
