Haivision Partner With France Télévisions For Paris 2024 Olympic Games Surfing Event Coverage

France Télévisions to provide exclusive coverage of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games surfing competition with Haivision’s private 5G video transmission ecosystem.

France Télévisions will be providing coverage of the pre- and post-competition activities of the surfing event at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. In partnership with Haivision, a leader in live video contribution over any network, and Obvios, developers of software-based private 5G network solutions, France Télévisions will produce UHD exclusive content during the Olympic surfing event.

The surfing competition at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games will take place over four days during a 10-day window from July 27 to August 5 from Teahupo’o, Tahiti as part of an initiative to expand the Games across France. To provide engaging behind-the-scenes coverage and ensure maximum freedom of camera movement, the France Télévisions team will leverage the latest 5G broadcast transmission innovations from Haivision and Obvios. The coverage will include live content such as interviews with the athletes in the Olympic Village and live shots from a boat-based camera.

In Teahupo’o, France Télévisions’ field production team will deploy the ultra-low latency Haivision Pro460 mobile video transmitters to capture and transmit live contribution streams of pre- and post-event content. The transmitter feeds will be sent over the Obvios private 5G Dome network to Haivision StreamHub receivers located at the postproduction center at Teahupo’o beach. Fully produced content will be transported to France Télévisions’ broadcast production center in Paris for broadcast across its networks using Haivision StreamHub’s IP gateway capabilities.

The Haivision Pro is a groundbreaking and versatile mobile video transmitter ideal for live video contribution of sports, events, and news over cellular networks, including private 5G networks like the Obvios Dome solutions which provide ultra-reliable, low latency, high-bandwidth, mobile, and secure connectivity for multimedia communications, voice, and data services.

As an official broadcaster of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, France Télévisions will be offering coverage from July 26 to August 11 with programming on France 2, France 3, Les 1ère, France 4, and for the first time ever, a digital channel completely dedicated to the event available on France.tv.
