Broadcast Rental Installs Complete Video Configuration During London Games

.

The London Games have been a success for Broadcast Rental. This Dutch based company specialised in rental of integrated video systems and professional equipment, installed all infrastructure for the Dutch broadcaster NOS. Broadcast Rental has set up a configuration for the distribution of the 40 video streams that NOS used. This configuration is also being used during the Paralympics. The entire operation is a big step forward for Broadcast Rental for the rental of complete video systems for all sorts of major events.

Broadcast Rental not only delivered two EVS XT[3] servers, three edit suits and two voice over suits, but also the video and audio patch fields embedders, de-embedders and two 46 inch 32 channel multi viewers. In addition to that the company installed a 108x108 Universal Videohub for the distribution of signals from the Olympic Broadcast Services (OBS) between Holland Heineken House, Medal Plaza and IBC. The final output was routed back via an EVS IPDirector and the videohub to the broadcast network in The Netherlands.

Unique training
Geert-Paul Slee of Broadcast Rental: ‘I am really proud that we have been assigned for this project. We arranged a complete tapeless workflow and delivered all edit facilities that were connected via a central server in London so that it was very easy for them to get all the needed content. Also, we have trained all technicians and editors from the NOS in order to work with our equipment. This is really unique. Together with the technicians my colleague Ron Eshuis has designed the entire set and during The Games we were very much involved. All went perfect!’
