GRUP MEDIAPRO Provides HD Broadcast Feed of the World Snowboard Cross Cup from Sierra Nevada for 25 Countries

Technical and production teams made up of 27 people from Eumovil Madrid, Mediapro Valencia and Mediasur travelled to Sierra Nevada for the production of the FIS Snowboard Cross World Cup.
A total of 20 international TV channels showed the event backed by the Andalusian Winter Sports Federation (FADI) and organized by Cetursa, for TV broadcast and streaming services for 25 different countries. In Spain the two events were shown on RTVE Play, Teledeporte, Eurosport and Andalusian TV across March 2nd and 3rd.

GRUP MEDIAPRO provided the HD international broadcast feed for the event with a 10-camera set-up, including two wireless units and a 9-metre Panther Foxy Pro. An OB van was also set up in Pradollano, close to the slopes and near the fibre optic hub which provides broadcast capabilities for event coverage up to an altitude of 2,700 metres. From the base the cameras were put in place along the route as well as units at the race start and finish lines.

Eumovil relayed the signal via satellite as well as providing the feed to the race judges, graphics packages, outdoor screens, etc. In addition, it also managed communications between the different members of the organising committee, the race director with the OB van as well as with race referees route-side. The set-up got underway on February 24th, a week before the races took place.
