Sports Broadcast Europe 2010

Sports Broadcast Europe is unique – Sports TV broadcasters discussing and networking about new trucks, 5.1 audio, the arrival of HD, logistics involved in big events, new cameras, new horizons like 3D, contribution and distribution…
About the event
The endless driving dynamic of sports TV coverage is the need to innovate. The viewer quickly gets used to standard slo-mos, clever camera angles, virtual graphics, etc — and the pressure is constantly on sports broadcasters to introduce new technologies and techniques to be competitive and retain eyeballs.
In the struggle for audience share, sports broadcasters are engaging with current and future technology to deliver high quality sports programming anytime, anywhere and on any device. With expert views and practical case studies from around the world, Sports Broadcast Europe will examine how technology has been exploited to heighten the viewing experience of major sporting events.
Who should attend? Chief Operating Officers, Directors of Operations, Heads of Outside Broadcasts, Heads of Production, Production Resources Managers, Senior Sound Supervisors, Senior Directors, Heads of Cameras, Chief Engineers, Programme Operations Managers, Producers, Directors of Broadcasting, Heads of Technology
