4G Live Onboard bike Cameras. Tour de France 2019
#tdf2019 #velo4g #broadcastrf This year, I am happy to be testing out our Velo4G on bike cameras for the first time with the Tour de France. This is a little behind the scenes of what it looks like as a 4G camera operator in the truck. We have control of up to 26 cameras, and at any time can activate multiple cameras and send the video feed from the camera via a central vision server to the playout server where it will be mixed into the program. The video bitrates of the cameras will be anywhere between 500kbs to 4mbs depending on the terrain and coverage and it is possible to steer the cameras onto different networks if the current network is not good for coverage. We have a plan of which riders are wearing the cameras and the cameras are put onto different bikes every day and charged overnight. The battery runtime for a camera is 3 hours in TX mode plus 8 hours in Standby mode.
