Kate short for Bob 246 #8 Posted November 11, 2020 LIVE PRODUCTION WEST4MEDIA SAILS TO THE AMERICA'S CUP In spring 2021, the America's Cup - the oldest regatta in the world - sets course for Auckland, New Zealand. In an international tender, we in the team with Riedel Communications prevailed against major competition. Together we were able to convince with a technically and content-wise innovative concept. For the implementation of this Herculean task, the new production company "circle-o" has now been founded, based in Vienna. For the America's Cup, circle-o is developing many technical innovations that promise a whole new experience of the major sports event. It doesn't start in 2021, but in 2019 with the "America's Cup World Series". A total of 8 regattas in Europe, USA and Asia will be produced by us until the final. The America's Cup is one of the greatest sporting events in the world. It is comparable to the Super Bowl, a soccer World Cup final or Formula 1. As far as the complexity of the TV broadcast is concerned, the task is even more difficult. WEST4MEDIA and Riedel Communications have together over 60 years of experience with TV LIVE productions. As specialists in the field of camera technology, broadcast production, content and communication, Riedel Communications and WEST4MEDIA are responsible for major sporting events such as Formula 1, Olympic Games, Red Bull Air Races or the Stratos jump. A total of six Emmy Awards demonstrate success and know-how in this segment. The audience can look forward to unconventional approaches and impressive pictures. The America's Cup is a sailing regatta that was first held in 1851. The boats of two yacht clubs compete against each other in several races. At the America's Cup 36, the defending champion from New Zealand will fight the challenger who will be wanted over the next three years. The defending champion has home rights. That is why Auckland will be sailing in 2021. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ian, without question, is the original Energiser Bunny! I first met him in '95 in San Diego, along with my American-born son who'd just graduated college. Ian and the ARL guys were installed in rooms down the hall in the hotel where we stayed. This was ARL's first essay into sailing graphics for TV. Son started volunteering, then joined ARL and went back to NZ with the team. He's still in NZ. Talking about his company's first graphic work tracking Cup boats for TVNZ, Ian recalls pitching their services to a room full of executive suits, only to be told it was impossible to do, and most certainly not in the time available. His instant and indignant response: "I have boys who can do this!" They could and they did. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scassani 4 #54 Posted December 3, 2020 What has been your experience with NBC Sports Gold? As best I've been able to determine this service is the sole means for watching AC36 in the United States. A subscription costs in the neighborhood of $180. That gives access to all the practice sessions, the ACWS and the Cup competition. Of these, only the first - practice - is available free of commercials. World Series and Cup events will allow the minimum exposure time agreed to by NBC and contracting sponsors. I'm having a hard time convincing myself I should pay for the service and give my time away to advertising. Clearly, this is not the Pay Per View business model. Telecasts of AC35 and Sailing GP events had the network interrupt an event regardless of the what was happening on the water. Close crosses, telling tactical moves and like events that contribute uniquely to the outcome were relegated to replays - another interruption - or missed entirely. Banal commentary, often on subjects only weakly related to sailboat racing and rarely having anything to do with the race while we watch it, burdened discontinuity with disappointment. I'm looking to folks who have used NBC Sports Gold to warn me if I should expect the broadcast to be little better than what NBC offers on a non-subscription basis. Is NBC Sports Gold a reiteration of what I see through a cable service? How often and in how many ways am I expected to pay for a privilege? The sole alternative may be waiting for videos of the racing to be posted on YouTube. I'd be in a position to say how much am I willing to pay to watch the events live if I could be assured of the quality of the telecast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stingray~ 1,289 #55 Posted December 3, 2020 I’m willing to pay for the NBC thing if it is commercial-free. Would like to know if that’s the deal? Otherwise, will just use a VPN and watch it on AC.com or YT. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scassani 4 #64 Posted December 5, 2020 Sailing My Cubicle offers a painful reminder: "If it's anything like the NBC Olympic streaming, be ready to get let down." I had thought my example of of the broadcast of Sail GP would suffice as an instance of poor production work degrading the event itself. By citing coverage of the Olympics, Sail My Cubicle reminds us of NBC using an international event as a stage for marketing to what statisticians call a 'demographic." The pace of the coverage and the commentary were bent along lines such films as 'Star Wars' and 'Fast & Furious' make familiar to us These productions resonate with viewers. Watch for their design though and you will see resonance being effected in the way a bell ringer pulls a rope: Bang! Bang! Bang! Two or three minutes of this leaves the audience eager for the pace to continue. No wonder, then, that a commentary and coverage which follow this model offer little insight into an event we watch develop, some bits telling to the outcome, some not and much that just happens. What's wrong here? Well, for one, the pace is slow. A 'bang!' comes once in a while. Too much time is lost in while for the event on the water to sustain interest in 'bang!' The technique I outline here compensates for the dulling effect of reality by juxtaposing rapid changes in perspective. Boats maneuver in anticipation of a mark that lies minutes ahead. Maneuvering on the water is brought to the screen in a collage of camera positions. The collage is paced so as to create 'Bang! Bang! Bang! ' Suppose a telling maneuver goes overlooked. No problem! We'll grab it back in replay. That's another 'bang!' And the producer can impose the missing gybe wherever it fits. Meanwhile, the race continues on the water. Sailing My Cubicle does us the favor of bringing to mind a familiar instance of the quality of an event out shining the mode of its presentation. NBC is not alone in treating us this way. I'm reticent to spend $175 for the privilege of having it done to me again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guess what, 99.999999% of the world doesn't give a fuck - not even 10% of a fuck. Ernesto and Larry dirtied it beyond belief. We hoped the Kiwis would redeem it, but this shitshow just proves that it means less than the nothing it was before when only 99% of the world didn't either know about it or give a fuck. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rudder_NZ 37 #74 Posted December 7, 2020 I wonder if someone could setup a twitch stream from TVNZ. Would probably be the easiest and most scalable Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haven’t seen any other names yet? I hope we can get Shirley and Ken here in NZ cos they will be a lot better than the local "talent". I really enjoyed Ken, Shirley and Alistair Eyken last time. Sounds like Alistair isn't coming so maybe Shirley will get even more air time which would be great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Check the guide https://tvguide.sky.co.nz/ tvnz has 3 channels tvnz1 ( 1 with a circle around it ) tvnz2 ( 2 with a circle around it ) ... both at the top of that page DUKE on the 18th its advertised as being on duke .. but tvnz1 and tvnz2 have ... Programme Information Unavailable .. .. my guess would be its likely to be on duke and tvnz1 at the same time and or the more important races will be on one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Commercially why disrupt your main revenue earning channel - advertising and programming - to broadcast something that your normal audience isn't interested in? However it is likely you are right but the only advance programming information that I have seen so far has it on DUKE except this ad which has it on TVNZ 1 and TVNZ On Demand. https://www.tvnz.co.nz/shows/36th-americas-cup Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He does imply that. Am also hoping for data feeds, maybe even including real-time like what ARL provided a simple app for last time, although post-race is fine too; and maybe another ‘Virtual Eye’ type app? The World Feed will likely be great if they can do as good or better than LiveLine but TV is a bit one-dimensional given what’s been accomplished since AC34 SF.

winchfodder 176 #84 Posted December 10, 2020 Isn't is still the plan that the live tv feed will be broadcast free on YouTube or similar. I thought that was what GD was aiming for? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The quality may be better via TV services but it’s all good if that’s going to be the case. Guess we will find out for sure come next week. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Given YT does 1080p and at a very high bit rate, perhaps even 4k for this event, I can't imagine broadcast/cable would be anywhere near as good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
