Luxiris supported France Télévisions for the implementation and operation of the unique remote production system deployed during the 2020 and 2022 Olympic Games in Tokyo and Beijing.
TRACKING SYSTEM
Following a tender process, Luxiris was selected to integrate and implement the stYpe tracking system deployed on the virtual set of France Télévisions’ sports department, installed as close as possible to the competition venues.
PRODUCTION IN PARIS
By integrating a virtual camera into the set, it was possible to produce shots that highlighted the location where the Olympic Games were taking place. This gave viewers the impression of a set in the middle of Tokyo Bay or in the mountains of China.
Video signals and tracking information were sent from the competition venues to Paris, several thousand kilometres away, where the programme was produced, and where the set was generated by Unreal Engine rendering via Avid Maestro.
Luxiris also provided support for the graphic integration of the set scenes, as well as on-site support in Tokyo and Beijing for the launch and in Paris for the duration of the Games.
