NEWS FROM VIDI

VIDI GmbH continues to transmit the required live signals for WDR as main transmission paths for the "ARD Sportschau" from and to the stadiums of the 1st Soccer League on a fibre-optic basis.

Women's football is becoming increasingly popular. The reasons for this are changes in society, major sponsors, and more professionalization. In 2019 this major event is hosted by France, where Germany and Spain will meet in the group phase. The World Cup will begin in just over a month.

To transmit the fascinations and emotions of winter sports - currently biathlon as number 1 of winter sports fans - was once again the challenge of the VIDI experts. Whether live TV transmissions from the ski jump table in Garmisch and Oberstdorf, biathlon on Schalke and Oberhof or the World Ski Championships in Sweden (Åre), VIDI's video specialists mastered and met the technical and availability requirements of the various TV broadcasters.

VIDI has announced it has renewed its Gold Sponsorship of SVG Europe, calling the association, “the leading influencer in the sports broadcast market”.

Magnificent live images of the World Cup are currently being watched in nearly all countries worldwide. To ensure that it all works, the VIDI team installed and thoroughly tested the adaption technology in advance in all twelve match venues as well as in the International Broadcast Centre (IBC) in Moscow.
