Unique Viewpoints for The Breeders' Cup on ESPN

[Alan07]

Broadcast Sports, Inc., (BSI) a world leader in wireless camera and audio systems, announces that for the 7th consecutive year they are providing their HD RF Cameras, Wireless Cameras and Talent Microphones, Wireless Effects Microphones, and monitoring and distribution facilities for live coverage of The Breeders' Cup World Championships, returning to historic Churchill Downs, in Louisville, Kentucky.

No stranger to the challenges of coverage at Churchill Downs after years of flawless coverage of the Kentucky Derby, BSI was an easy choice. Unlike other single race thoroughbred events, the Breeders’ Cup requires lengthy roving coverage over long days. Wireless systems are an integral part of this coverage and must be robust and reliable in order to meet the challenge.

“Whether it’s human, horse or car racing, if it moves fast we cover it—and we cover it from the inside,” said Mark Polla, BSI’s Sales & Marketing Manager. “When it comes to providing the wide area coverage at the Breeders’ Cup, from the barns through the paddock onto the track and into the winners circle, BSI’s technology and expertise deliver a unique angle to the story.”

Seamless coverage within and even between the various areas cannot be achieved with traditional single receive point infrastructure. BSI will deploy seven small-footprint RF over Fiber sites throughout the facility delivering coverage of the barns, track, paddock, winner’s circle, betting booths and high profile guest seating areas. These units provide diversity reception at each site and carry the appropriate spectrum back to the mobile unit over fiber optic cable.
