ARET Launch Flag-based Corner Cam
A
leading provider of integrated
video and audio solutions, ARET
has unveiled their new Corner Cam,
an integrated corner flag and camera
for deployment in football (soccer)
matches. The camera, a collaboration
between ARET and sports equipment
manufacturers LISKI, will
integrate
Dream Chip's AtomOne mini AIR, a
miniaturised camera with established
pedigree in the sports market.
ARET's aim was
to develop a
robust camera which could immerse
audiences in the action, providing an
unusual vantage point from which to
view the action, whilst also providing
referees with an additional technical
perspective to aid decision making.
They achieved this by
combining
LISKI's
robust, flexible and UEFA/
FIFA-certified poles with a micro
AtomOne mini AIR camera.
The AtomOne mini AIR camera,
which has seen previous deployment
in a range of sports environments,
is
based
on
Sony's
IMX174
image sensor, and thus provides
exceptional HD, SDR/HDR images
with an Ultra Wide Angle, facilitating
an extensive view both up and
across the pitch. Built in Color
Control performs a full range of
colour correction
operation and
provides pristine
broadcast images
to viewers,
delivered
to
the studio by dual link 3G-SDI.
Moreover, weighing only
25grams with a diameter no bigger
than that of a Euro coin and a robust
outer casing, the AtomOne mini AIR
- protected further by the LISKI pole
outer-housing - accommodates the
shocks, knocks and bumps that are
inevitable
in a high-paced sports
setting.
The priority for ARET when selecting
equipment for the integration was
the ability to deliver a reliable and
safe solution which did not interfere
with player performance, but was
able to deliver exceptional broadcast
images to audiences. The integration
of a camera with slow motion ability
was crucial, since this allows officials
to make use of VAR (Virtual Assistant
Referee) technology, covering a 144°
angle.
But
importantly,
is
audiences the ability
the technical
addition
of
footballers - particularly
the
AR
ability
the
also grants
to appreciate
performance of the
through
(augmented
reality) overlays, in general granting
broadcasters
a more creative
to communicate the pace
and excitement of the game, and
immersing audiences in the emotion
of the moment through an 'onthe-pitch'
perspective. Moreover,
in relation to advertising revenue,
this new angle also provides new
product advertising and branding
opportunities, with an increased
focus on both ball and shoes.
An additional
collaboration
has delivered the integration of
Corner Cam with CyanView's CI0
camera IP interface to enable
remote camera shading for
broadcast productions. The use
of one or multiple CyanView's
universal RCP controllers allows
vision engineers
best
image quality
operational efficiency.

production workflows for the use
of specialty cameras on high-end
broadcast events. By leveraging IP
technologies, CyanView addresses

cameras
such as
cameras.
