HBS Technical StandardsHBS will use the
following standard for the 2006 FIFA World Cup™ Germany: UNILATERAL SERVICES AND FACILITIESHBS has installed and/or coordinated bookable facilities for use by Broadcast Partners at venues. There is no Booking Offices at venues; booking of unilateral venue services and facilities must be done either prior to the FIFA World Cup™ or at the IBC. However, the HBS Broadcast Information Office located at the venue will assist Broadcast Partners in liaising with the IBC Booking Office. Commentary ServicesHBS operates commentary services using customised Glensound commentary equipment. In a departure from previous FIFA World Cups™, HBS is using a Commentary Switching Matrix (CSM) to switch all commentary and coordination circuits. This broadcast-proven, fully redundant technology provides earlier access and better quality to Broadcast Partners while enabling uninterrupted system monitoring. Overall commentary functionalities remain unchanged for Broadcast Partners. |
