In January 2023, the Australian Stingers and Sharks (women’s and men’s national Water Polo teams) hosted the United States and Japan for a Tri-Nations Test Series in Perth, Australia.įrom Wollongong, NSW, the DoubleTake Sports broadcast saw three full days of advanced coverage that featured micro/beauty cameras, PTZ cameras operated the remote production center, live coverage from drones/UAV for external events, in-venue commentary, integration with the in-venue center-hung video boards and AV, custom graphics, and post-event hostings in a dedicated interview set for broadcast and spectators at the venue. The matches were also delivered to international rights holders in New Zealand, Japan, Fiji, Tonga, Hong Kong, and Argentina. A fully bespoke Singular graphics pack brought Stan Sport's look and feel to life, fed by live match data and a custom API-driven control interface developed by DoubleTake Sports.

DoubleTake crews delivered these productions entirely remotely, with only the cameras and on-screen talent at the venues, in sub-second latency.Īustralia's Stan Sport was the domestic rightsholder. Across these events, production included up to eight cameras, sideline hostings, venue video screen returns, TMO/video referee (both onsite and remotely in the DTS production centre) and pitch-side medical video review integration. Matches of that calibre required advanced production. To ensure top-quality coverage of each match, DoubleTake Sports produced a fully remote outside broadcast of the Rugby World Cup 2023 Qualifier between Tonga and Hong Kong, and a Women's Rugby World Cup warm-up match between Australia and Japan. As technologies evolve rapidly, remote production provides a full-featured, budget-friendly option that can actually enhance coverage of an event by making better technologies, crew, and processes available to more events - all with a lighter environmental footprint.ĭoubleTake Sports have provided coverage of recent events at a level that wouldn’t have been possible without remote production at ultra low latency, including: Remote or hub-based production is often seen as a compromise when budgets mean that onsite outside broadcast isn’t feasible. As viewers fragment across rightsholders and platforms with more content, and as production budgets dwindle, agile IP-based production is enabling more events to go to air with broadcast production values.ĭoubleTake Sports, supported by technology from Singular, deploy lean, digital-first remote production for the delivery of major international events to linear and traditional broadcasters. As is well known, Australia takes its sport seriously, including the broadcast coverage of major events.
