| Ryder Cup teed off in 3D with RTS/Telex systems |
| Posted: March 2011 | ||||||
 Every two years, the best golfers from Europe and the US pit their skills against one another
in one of the most prestigious golf tournaments in the world, the Ryder Cup. For the latest edition, which ran from October 1-3 last year, the teams converged on the picturesque Celtic Manor Resort in Newport, South Wales, to witness a first in the illustrious history of the Ryder Cup.Followed by golf enthusiasts worldwide, the telecast of the tournament featured a technical innovation: it was said to be the first golf tournament to be recorded and broadcast in 3D. This was made possible by Telegenic, the broadcast service provider commissioned by BSkyB, a major satellite broadcaster in the UK. Telegenic’s 3D OB truck was equipped with, among others, a 128-port ADAM (advanced digital audio matrix) system with an RTS MADI (multichannel audio digital interface) card, as well as various keypanels from its KP series. Dave Rowley, head of Sound at Telegenic, described the special challenges of the production: “In addition to the not-so-friendly weather, the difficulty lay in linking a whole series of trucks with one another. “Three different RTS/Telex products had key roles here: The Tribus Digital Audio Interface Card linking the two 3D OB trucks; a TM-2000 Truckmaster linking the 2D and host trucks; and the new RTS/Telex MADI card linking the 2D and 3D trucks.” This set-up, added Rowley, proved its value throughout the entire tournament. In addition to reliability and ease-of-use, the RTS/TELEX equipment scored points for performance and flexibility. “The MADI gave us a number of four-wires (circuits) between the two productions on two coaxial cables and also increased the port count of the two frames … Using MADI made broadcasting the Ryder Cup a very pleasant experience,” Rowley concluded.
