How was the Winter Olympics put on the TV screen?

Because ice and snow sports fans can't watch the games in person during the Winter Olympics, the broadcast service of the Winter Olympics is particularly critical. The key to high-quality broadcasting is to build a high-quality production team. The broadcast of the game is complicated, and the placement of cameras is also very particular. The broadcast team needs to strictly control the whole broadcast.

The Olympic Broadcasting Company will employ a first-class team to produce public signals for each project during the Winter Olympics. The broadcast service team in the venue is equivalent to the "early housekeeper" of the production team, helping the production team to meet various broadcast needs.

First of all, cameras should be set up. The production team and the relay service team have determined the positions of more than 50 broadcasters, including overhead cameras and track cameras. The staff made great efforts: the track length of the National Biathlon Center was 12.7 km. On the plane seat, the staff made dozens of trips. When measuring higher points, all players need to go down the mountain hand in hand to ensure safety. The working conditions of the staff are very difficult. In order to find a scenic spot overlooking the National Biathlon Center, the team members finally decided to be on the mountain where the National Platform Skiing Center is located after repeated investigations.

Secondly, assisting the production team to choose the lens position is only part of the work of the broadcast service team. As we all know, the broadcast of sports events is not only an objective description, but also pays more attention to the transmission of sound. In addition to capturing the best pictures, sound transmission is also an important way of communication.

In biathlon, the most distinctive sound when an athlete shoots at the shooting range is gunfire. In order to make the audience have a better viewing experience, our country's broadcasting team specially set up sound receiving equipment at the target to capture the sound from far and near and hit the target, so as to better create a tense atmosphere for the audience.

Of course, the realization of camera position and sound receiving point position also depends on the cooperation of other fields. For example, the construction of high-level camera positions and camera systems needs relevant teams in infrastructure and electric power fields to implement; The background landscape of the pictures taken by the camera is arranged by the relevant teams in the field of image landscape; During the competition, the real-time athlete information and competition results seen by the audience on the broadcast screen come from the timing and scoring system in charge of the technical field.

It is hard for viewers who are used to watching sports events at various terminals to imagine that sports broadcasting is so complicated. In order to make the audience have a realistic viewing experience. Our staff have made a lot of efforts behind the scenes.
