WOC 2009 Middle - TV footage analysis
Below is provided an overview of the TV footage from WOC 2009 Middle. Mostly the men's race is looked at.
Summary
TV production on a budget with fewer camera locations than e.g. WOC 2008 or WOC 2010. GPS-tracking by provider who did not deliver advanced GPS modes.
Position of TV-controls
In addition to there TV positions, there were pictures coming from the start to the finish, but those were sent to the OB-bus on tape by bicycle every 15-20 minutes.
Worked well
Did not work well
- Missing graphics for several runners
- No GPS-tracking - misses one important element in the broadcast
- One TV control in very dense forest - orienteers do not look fast
