“For major events such as the Commonwealth Games, the biggest challenge is satisfying the rights-holding broadcasters (RHBs) and [accommodating] the many varied ways they wish for their signals to be delivered”

Sports Technology brings signifi cant experience to the games, having been heavily involved in providing audio overlay for London 2012
standard technical specifi cation guidelines and sport specifi c requirements were issued. These included speech and music reinforcement in a non- reverberant manner, with an even coverage of the intended audience area; frequency response characteristics of 120Hz to 4kHz +/-5dBu; a maximum sound pressure level (SPL) of 95dBu +/-5dBu; and Speech Transmission Index (STI) intelligibility of greater than 0.65. It was also stated that all speakers directly covering media tribunes or other sensitive media areas must have individual volume/ zoning controls. “This specifi cation allowed the contractor to propose what they considered the best technical and operational solution that meets the basic technical and operational guidelines,” Hunt explains. The tender for audio and video overlay was awarded to Sports Technology in early 2013.
