Polecam achieves world-first at Winter Games in Vancouver

A record nine Polecam systems have been commissioned to provide live video from the Winter Games which commence in Vancouver on February 12. All nine will be working in full 1080i high-definition.

"The number of our rigs in use at these big international sports events has increased steadily over the years," comments Steffan Hewitt who invented the first Polecam system in 1998. "Six systems were fielded at the 2004 Games in Athens, eight at the 2009 Beijing event, and now nine in Canada. Obviously we are hoping to see at least 10 in use at the 2012 London Games, including some of our new 3D kit."
