Uncompromised 4K production at Roland Garros with Sony technology

To deliver enhanced coverage from the “Court Annexes” the service facility Gearhouse France has worked in collaboration with rental company Genitech. They have chosen Sony’s BRC-H800 robotic cameras in conjunction with RM-IP500 remote controller once again, recognising its superior behavior in high dynamic “sunny” conditions. Designed for unattended operation, BRC-H800 is a compact but powerful PTZ robotic camera and an ideal complement to other broadcast cameras for capturing images in hard-to-reach positions.

Exclusively for the French Open, Eurosport has launched a new 4K channel ‘Eurosport 4K’. Broadcasting in 4K from the centre court, Eurosport 4K is airing in the UK, via Sky Q and Virgin TV, and in France (CANAL+), Germany (HD+) and Spain (Orange). The biggest European grand slam tournament will be running until June 10, 2018.
