Cobham Deployed For MTV EMAs

News Image
Broadcast Rental recently used Cobham's Solo7 Nano TX transmitters, as well as Videosys camera control technology to support the coverage of the 2015 MTV Europe Music Awards.

The 2015 show is the third consecutive year that Broadcast Rental has provided the RF technology and expertise to support the broadcast. This year's event, which was held at the Mediolanum Forum in Assago, near Milan, Italy, on 25 October, included coverage of both red carpet and main stage award activities, and was captured using Cobham Solo7 Nano TX transmitters affixed to three Steadicam-mounted, Videosys-controlled Sony P1 cameras. An additional Cobham Solo7 Nano TX was attached to a "bullet-cam", deployed on a selfie-stick for use by attendees and artists alike.

United Production Operations Manager Bolke Burnaby Lautier said: "MTV always likes to use lots of effect shots, which is where the roaming cameras came into play. They also like to provide the artists with something they can have fun with and contribute to the broadcast, which is where the selfie-stick was used. The reliable signal quality of the Solo7 Nano TX coupled with the Videosys controls, both provided by Broadcast Rental, enabled us to produce a high quality broadcast of a world class event."

GP Slee, founder and CEO of Broadcast Rental, added: "Because of the fast pace and high production values, covering events like this can be quite a challenge. However, because we are wireless specialists, we knew the Cobham/Videosys combination of wireless transmission and data control would provide high quality pictures and 100 percent control reliability."

The miniature Solo7 Nano TX transmitter includes Cobham COFDM and H.264 encoding technology.
