Vislink To Extend Formula E Coverage

Vislink is to provide extended live HD coverage of the second Formula E race taking place in Malaysia this Sunday 22nd November.

For the second time, viewers will benefit from the footage provided by on-board cameras fitted into the nose cone and rear rain light of each car. The mounting locations are exclusive to the Formula E series and provide broadcasters with two previously unseen camera angles. The two locations will also let broadcasters deliver an existing and consistent picture quality to viewers, especially if the second race takes place in monsoon conditions which will make capturing clear images particularly challenging.

The latest development is the result of Vislink working closely with the FIA to ensure the new camera mount positions were crash tested and approved before the Formula E series began. As part of Vislink's involvement in Formula E, 40 race cars have been pre-loomed to accept wireless cameras and transmitters. Formula E has the flexibility to make 20 cars 'live' at any given time.
