22 Oct Vans Rebeljam

The brief was to produce and live stream Van Rebeljam, including multi-camera live production, competition results and other broadcast graphics, multi-camera replays, the insertion of VANS and Monster adverts and the live streaming of the program output to the VANS rebeljam website, MPORA sites and Facebook.

This season’s edition of VANS rebeljam was held at the extremely cool and drop-dead gorgeous Eurocamp at Tossa de Mar, Catalunya, Spain. The world’s best BMX riders competed in four disciplines – park, an independent street setup, flatland area and a dirtjump contest. 3xScreen produced and live streamed Rebeljam for MPORA, the rebeljam media partner.

3xScreen provided a turnkey solution for the production and live streaming of the event.

We underpinned the live production with one of our Newtek Tricasters, complemented by a Blackmagic ATEM Production Switcher for the flatlands production. A Newtek 3Play was used for replays and two Newtek Livetext machines were used for graphics.

Camera coverage consisted of two Sony EX3 cameras, one with a Canon J22 lens and a Sony EX1. Three GoPro HD Heroes were used to complement the manned camera coverage. All cameras were connected via fibre optic cables utilising Blackmagic ATEM converters.

A HME DX200 wireless comms system was used for production talkback. Connectivity from site for the live stream was via LiveU backpacks running over both cellular and broadband satellite links.
