Watching the opening ceremony of the Olympics this week was breath taking. Danny Boyle performing the biggest live scene changes ever attempted emphasises the amount of work and effort put into the games with the media. Watching the ceremony made me think and wonder what the broadcasting process was behind the games.
And this is it. This is the control centre behind the Olympics games. The room is split into three sections Contribution, Distribution, Transmission. Contribution collects all the feed from the live playing fields during the games. At this point the directer will be sitting with a vision mixer, controlling which feeds are played and which feeds are cut. It is also where everything come together so the graphics on who is first in the swimming will be added here.
Next is the Distribution. Distribution is where all of the feeds are sent to be forward to other media outlet plat forms such as live internet streams via Satellite
