AVEO deploys Blackmagic Design workflow for live France.tv cycling broadcast
French production company AVEO utilized a Blackmagic Design hardware ecosystem to broadcast the Paris-Troyes en Champagne cycling race to France.tv. The workflow relied on URSA Broadcast G2 cameras, ATEM Constellation 8K switchers, and Blackmagic Replay, utilizing 4G and Starlink for remote production connectivity.
Key Takeaways
- Production relied on URSA Broadcast G2 cameras mounted on motorcycles with remote shading via 4G RCP
- ATEM Constellation 8K switcher managed nine simultaneous feeds including helicopter and crane sources
- Blackmagic Replay and DaVinci Resolve enabled a single operator to handle slow-motion and highlights
- Connectivity utilized AVIWEST Safe Streams Transport to bond 4G modems with Starlink satellite links
Why It Matters
This deployment demonstrates the increasing viability of high-end remote production for niche sporting events using commodity connectivity like Starlink and 4G. By consolidating replay, highlight editing, and playout into a single workstation role, AVEO proves that smaller regional firms can achieve broadcast-grade output with significantly reduced headcount. The integration of real-time GPS data via downstream keyers further signals a shift toward data-rich digital broadcasts that were previously reserved for major network budgets. Watch for whether France Télévisions expands this low-footprint infrastructure to other regional UCI events in their 2027 partnership renewal.
