This year, WHTM-TV in Harrisburg, PA, relied on RF Central’s RFX-CMT portable digital microwave unit for its production of the PNC Big 33 Football Classic, which is known to some as the Super Bowl of high-school football.
Since 1957, the game has been one of finest scholastic all-star football games in the nation. For years, WHTM used a 13GHz unit that required two operators in addition of the camera operator to send shots.
With RF Central’s RFX-CMT, the transmitter is attached directly to the camera and relies on the camera’s battery for power. This RF connection allowed WHTM to capture close-ups of players and coaches, go into the stands to do interviews with local celebrities, and get shots from inside huddles, increasing viewer involvement in the game.
