Drones
Drones have revolutionised broadcasting, allowing for breathtaking shots that were once nearly impossible to achieve. From capturing stunning high-above-the-crowd views of superstars performing at the world’s largest festivals, to keeping pace with athletes as they race through the most challenging terrain, drones have become essential for ensuring the best coverage in the most demanding environments.
And our ultra-lightweight, low-power miniature COFDM transmitters have been designed with the challenge you face of strict regulations on drone size, weight, and power consumption. You are ensured stable, low-latency video transmission every time with these transmitters that are compact enough to fit on high-performance drones and robust enough to meet the demands of even the most challenging productions.
APPLICATIONS
Extreme Sports
High-risk sports, such as mountain biking, downhill skiing and ski jumping, bring unique often dangerous challenges to broadcasters trying to cover them. But whether its high speeds, dizzying heights, remote environment, or extreme weather conditions, Domo’s PicoTXR transmitter is the perfect solution for pairing with your drone coverage.
Whether the number of traditional ground-based cameras required to cover the full course is beyond reasonable due to the breadth of area covered, altitude, snow or winds, such as with downhill skilling and mountain biking, or the aerial perspective needed to cover ski jumping, the PicoTXR is designed to deliver the reliable, low-latency video transmission transmitter you need. With a size that’s smaller than a box of matches and weighing just 52 grams, it’s ideal for drone applications in difficult situations like these.
Live events
When tens of thousands of people gather for large-scale events, you face constricted access, overcrowding, limited camera angles, and difficulties dealing with cabling. But aerial shots offer a solution and a unique perspective, with drone footage providing an unparalleled view. Whether above the legendary Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury or over theiconic arch of Wembley Stadium, drone footage captures the atmosphere in a way that ground cameras simply cannot match.
Domo Broadcast Systems’ NanoHEVC transmitter was created for this kind of coverage with a drone. We’ve designed it for advanced performance while remaining compact enough for restricted payloads. The NanoHEVC employs H.265 encoding and supports native HDR, so it delivers superb image quality at lower bitrates, making it an ideal choice for situations where size and weight are important, but not critical.
Enhanced racing coverage
Drone footage can provide your audience with never-before-witnessed viewpoints and the excitement of dynamic motion.
The Boat Race between the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge is a case in point. With the River Thames winding through a series of bends, it can be difficult to judge who’s in front from the fixed cameras on the riverbank. Drones were used to captured a bird’s-eye view of the spacing and pacing between boats.
In horse racing, aerial footage allows viewers to decipher the chaos of tightly packed horses and jockeys, revealing the full field and making it easier to follow the action as it unfolds.
