Extreme race engines5/4/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() To accomplish all of this, NEP needed only a total of only 23 crew on site. įor event communications, intercom and car telemetry data, NEP connected with Alkamel and MRTC. To handle audio mix for the race, and to QC all audio sources heading back to the production centre in London, NEP made use of a Calrec Summa digital audio console on-site. NEP had seven more remote PTZ cameras in the command centre and race control that were connected via fibre.Īll audio around the track used RF as well. They also made use of RF car on-board cameras. Additionally, they utilized three cutting-edge drone cameras outfitted with the Mini TX UHD, the world’s smallest low-latency UHD wireless transmitter, developed entirely in-house by NEP’s BSI team. NEP deployed ten operated cameras and ten POV cameras around the track. This allowed for social distancing among the limited crew on site.Ĭoverage of the excitement on the track was all handled by RF. On-site, the team operated out of eight tents that comprised master control, engineering, production, sound/graphics, a production office, an RF/UAV workshop, Cameras and storage. They were able to connect each race location directly to their new “UHD ready” centralized production facility in London, via satellite, routing all of the signals through their teleport at MediaCityUK in Salford. NEP built a custom IP flypack custom for Extreme E that meets the technical requirements and can stand up to the harsh environments on-site at the races. On Site CaptureĬonsidering the sustainability goals, COVID restrictions, and challenging remote race locations, reducing the number of staff traveling to site was critical in NEP’s system design. In a unique and never-seen-before approach NEP is helping Extreme E - the electric off-road racing series - to raise awareness about the effects of climate change. The innovative technology solutions created to cover this distinctive racing series allow the viewer to feel as if they are right there inside the vehicle with the driver riding along the race course. It was a truly astonishing end-to-end solution, from the first image captured by a camera, to the high end delivery to viewers at homes around the globe. Their partnership with NEP also included hours and hours of engineering, technical prowess and creative craftsmanship completed by teams within both companies. Additionally, to help bring the races to life, NEP’s team in the UK reached out to their colleagues in The Netherlands to create a cutting-edge AR and Graphics solution.Īurora Media was able to realize their dream of creating a spectacular tv show that blends sustainability with the latest innovations in broadcast technology, like: drone cameras, a graphics package including augmented reality overlays, and use of a new production centre in London connected to NEP’s centralized production platform. NEP worked with Aurora to create a complete end-to-end, sustainable solution that would work for all five races that included a custom IP flypack, remote production solutions, crewing, satellite and fiber connectivity, edit, and ingest solutions. The production was led by London headquartered Aurora Media Worldwide in collaboration with North One, who approached NEP’s team in the UK for a broadcast solution. In order to overcome these enormous challenges and to capture, enrich and broadcast these unique racing series Aurora Media teamed up with NEP as their media technology partner. With no technical infrastructure, fast racing SUV’s in rough environments and the required worldwide distribution in 180 countries. īut how do you produce this type of racing series throughout the year highlighting some of the world’s most remote locations and harshest environments, including Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Greenland, Brazil and Patagonia. This all-electric off-road racing series is designed to bring attention to climate change, the use of sustainable, all-electric vehicles, and provide audiences with a spectacular event. ![]() In order to realize Alejandro Agag his dream Aurora Media Worldwide produces a series of television programs featuring the Extreme E races. Over coffee, the pair dreamt up the idea of a spectacular, captivating, narrative-driven adventure ready to tell the story of the effects of climate change and human activity on stunning, remote locations around the globe (Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Greenland, Brazil and Patagonia) through world-class sport. “We bring electric racing to some of the most remote corners of the planet to highlight the climate change challenges faced by different ecosystems, whilst showcasing the performance of all-electric SUVs in extreme conditions” In late 2018, Extreme E Founder and CEO Alejandro Agag met with motor racing legend, and good friend, Gil de Ferran for breakfast.
