The Omega HD recorder will be used to store and play out the fill and the key elements and video replay transitions throughout the 2009 U.S Open Tennis Championships.
Fast Forward Video’s Omega HD DVR will play a center-court role in the HD international broadcast of the 2009 U.S. Open Tennis Championships, to be held Aug. 31 through Sept. 13. Mobile production company All Mobile Video (AMV), selected by the United States Tennis Association to provide the integrated HD feed for global broadcasts, will use the Omega HD to provide smooth, seamless video playout and replay throughout the tournament.
Lee Blanco, director of engineering at AMV, said they have used the SD version of the Omega DVR for many years, and on a variety of different productions, with outstanding results.
In managing the integrated feed for the U.S. Open broadcast, AMV will take raw camera feeds from the major networks that are providing on-site coverage and switch them to create and transmit a complete production that can be received by broadcasters worldwide who will not have a presence at the tournament.
The Omega HD recorder will be used to store and play out the fill and the key elements for bugs, sprites and video replay transitions throughout the event. An HD video production switcher will control the Omega HD recorder on-site in New York City.
