“Last summer we were really
happy with this camera during the London Olympic Games — unfortunately we couldn’t use it on a motorcycle due to safety measures,” said NOS director Pim Mark. “Now I had the opportunity of using it on the back of a motorcycle and it truly met my needs. I had the best ultra slow-motion shots just when I needed them, for live and fallback situations. And the viewers could enjoy amazing never before seen close-ups of the cyclers and their bikes.” “We had a world first here”, said
Amstel Gold: An ultra slow-motion camera transmitted the shots live through a wireless RF connection to the truck By Jake Young

WE HAVE THE POWER TO ENGAGE
Using a NAC Hi-Motion II supplied by Netherlands-based full-service rental house Broadcast Rental, the live ultra slow-motion shots were transmitted through an RF connection to the OB truck. In regular OB productions, the NAC Hi-Motion II is connected
via cable and the replay-operator controls the ultra slow-motion footage from the camera. During the Amstel Gold Race, however, the slow motion footage was actually being triggered by the camera operator and the replays sent as live feeds to the director for broadcast.
We give programme makers the power to be truly creative, with production solutions that deliver speed and total reliability. From reality TV to staged events, we offer producers the freedom to push boundaries and engage new audiences.

Geert Paul Slee, CEO of Broadcast Rental. “It was never done before during road cycling. An ultra slow-motion camera transmitted the shots live through a wireless RF connection to the OB truck. Together with the R&D department of NAC we managed to do it with dedicated new software. It enables the camera operator on the back of the motor cycle to trigger ultra slow-motion situations as they happen.”

E.P.I.C. decision for Germany
By Fergal Ringrose
GERMAN BROADCASTER SWR has purchased three Autoscript E.P.I.C. (Enhanced Prompting Information Centre) units for its Stuttgart facility, in a deal brokered by Autoscript’s German representative Michael Bucher. The E.P.I.C. units, which feature an all-in-one prompter display and on-air talent monitor, will be used in SWR’s studios and on its outside broadcasts. The two E.P.I.C. units at SWR’s Stuttgart studio are used for news magazine programmes, while the third travels in an OB truck for use on a political talk show. Robin Brown, product
manager, Autoscript, said, “The E.P.I.C. has proven to be ideal for both studio and location work, vastly simplifying the equipment required, while reducing power consumption and weight, and making set-up straightforward.”
