The Miami
Dolphins purchased JVC's ProHD GY-HD250s for HD production
of its Game Day Live show and JVC's HD100 Series cameras to
capture fan action in the parking lots and throughout the
stadium. The Dolphins also purchased JVC's DM-JV600 video
encoders to provide 720p HD video to its internal TV network
of over 850 video monitors in the stadium.
"We chose JVC because the camera's simplicity makes setup
and production of our Game Day Live TV show and roaming interviews
an easy and fast operation," said Jeff Griffith, Broadcast
Director for the Miami Dolphins. "The compact shoulder
form-factor enables our video crew to easily get around when
they're in the field or with the fans."
"The Dolphins use of JVC's ProHD cameras
for Game Day Live is a true testament to JVC's high-quality,
affordable HD solution. As the fastest workflow solution in
the industry today, ProHD is quickly making its way into sports
and broadcast stations across the country," said Dave
Walton, JVC Professional Products Company.
For the Dolphins live in-studio HD broadcast
of Game Day Live, the GY-HD250s are set up in a studio configuration
with JVC's KA-HD250U studio adapter kit, which is filmed at
Dolphin Stadium's exclusive Sprint Fantasy Lounge. All the
video footage that is recorded and broadcast live for game
day is also used on the Dolphins Internet site.
The new Game Day Live studio configuration
was designed and installed by Videoscope, a Miami-based Broadcast
and Professional AV dealer and systems integrator specializing
in professional sports broadcast HD solutions.
Videoscope's project manager Bill Craig
remarked, "JVC's new GY-HD250U Studio configuration is
a full resolution HD progressive camcorder in the same native
format (720p 60fps) as needed to be compatible with Dolphin
Stadium. These cameras are working in partnership with several
other broadcast cameras exceeding a cost of $75k each and
it is quite hard for me to see any difference in quality.
The video is transmitted from the set back to the control
room VIA single mode fiber optics. Using our preferred fiber
optic serial digital video transmission modules, this preserves
the video quality over very long distances, which was a requirement
in this application."
When the Dolphins' video crew roams the
stadium, they use JVC's HD100 Series cameras in a wireless
configuration to capture and transmit video from the stadium's
parking lot areas, the main plaza level and concourse level
of the building. This coverage allows the crew to do its Fan
in the Stands segments as well as live remote video interviews
and roaming reporter spots.
The video crew records on tape when roaming
the stadium and transmits the video images back to the Stadium
Control Room for processing and use in the game on the video
screens and internal video network.
