A total of 19 LED screens, including those in Trafalgar Square (the largest number of mobile and modular LED screens ever deployed for an event in the capital), were strategically positioned in viewing areas around central London throughout the weekend, giving free access sites for the public to watch the action.
With Stuart Young in charge of acquisition and logistics and Dave Herd in charge of management and delivery, CT supplied 50 video crew, cameras and a video production facility based in Trafalgar Square. This relayed pictures and incoming satellite feeds to all remote screen sites.
“We handled all consultation of video coverage and the method of distribution of signal to remote sites, to provide video coverage for the Opening Ceremony,” said CT’s Dave Herd. “This was followed by production of a TV channel on Saturday and Sunday, consisting of the unilateral picture feeds from the French host broadcaster, with English commentary, mixed with pre-recorded video footage, timings of competitors and public safety messaging.”
