Showtechs Cage Camera rigs
Not the result the fans wanted but what a celebration when England scored. Here is the moment from our Showtechs crowd cam.

On broadcast we cut camera angles every few seconds so on a 4 hour show we switch between camera feeds well over a thousand times. Although we have comms to the camera team mistakes are inevitable. That’s where a tally (or talent light) system can help by showing a red light when a camera’s output is being used so the operator knows they are live and don’t move!
Tally systems are expensive and normally only found on high end or TV studio systems. I’ve just finished a project using a USB decoder from the USA to pick up our switcher monitor output and integrate into a Cerevo Tally system and all remote wireless. A few challenges but happy to say we’ve cracked it and its all working perfectly even though I was told by several suppliers that it can’t be done on our set up!
All our Showtechs and Fightworld TV events where we broadcast will have this system starting from Raged MMA this Saturday at the Swindon Mecca.
Another new project completed at Showtechs is our dynamic animated Tale of the Tape graphics system which links all contained screen elements and information to a single data base and is triggered with a single button. This means that all information, stats and fighter pictures can be set up in a single file structure before hand that scrolls to keep in time with the current fights running and all the information and pictures for that fight are pulled through to the on-screen graphics automatically and in real time. The system is now programmed and running and will be seen at Meltdown 11 and other leading fight show live streams.
At Showtechs we love creating dramatic fighter walk outs for our customers and so many people crowd around to film them on their phones. We call this set up our Portal as I designed it to look like the fighter is transporting from another world or alternative dimension using strobes as lightening with coloured batten's and smoke. I think you will agree this looks pretty cool!
Showtechs, this is what we do! Great production capture from one of our media team Richard Presley.
