America’s Cup – Valencia – Sulla scia dei TV trials conclusosi da pochi giorni, il Golden Gate Yacht Club ha annunciato di aver messo online un nuovo sito internet – www.acmediaevaluation.com – contenente tutte le clip girate nel corso del week end.
I TV trials sono stati organizzati per esaminare ogni possibile aspetto delle regate in ambito America’s Cup, incluso il tipo di imbarcazioni (multiscafo o monoscafo), il format dell’evento, il tipo di percorso e, altrettanto importante, le modalità migliori per lo streaming video, tanto online quanto nel broadcasting.
“Abbiamo promosso la messa online di questo sito perchè abbiamo generato tantissimo materiale che non poteva essere raccolto in un semplice highlights – ha spiegato Russell Coutts, CEO di BMW Oracle Racing – Valuteremo con grande interesse i commenti che i velisti e non posteranno in risposta al nostro materiale”.
Altri due trials sono stati programmati: uno per il mese prossimo e uno per autunno.
AMERICA’S CUP, MEDIA TRIALS WEBSITE LAUNCHED
[Golden Gate Yacht Club Press Release] Following on the heels of Sunday’s conclusion of four days of highly successful America’s Cup media trials, a new web site has been launched – www.acmediaevaluation.com – where all the clips have been posted and comments are welcome.
The media trials were geared to examine every aspect of America’s Cup racing, including the type of boat (monohull or multihull), the format of the racecourse (upwind, downwind and start sequences) and, importantly, the video output for broadcast and online viewing.
“We launched this site because we generated so much material that we needed to consolidate edited highlights in one place,” said BMW Oracle Racing CEO Russell Coutts. “We welcome sailors and non-sailors alike to offer comments and feedback.”
More than 150 hours of video requiring 10 terabytes of memory was captured in the trials, which used a pair of BMW Oracle Racing’s RC 44 high-performance monohulls and Extreme 40 catamarans.
Another two rounds of trials are planned for next month and later in the fall, where additional layers of features will be included.
Next month, positioning, performance and biometric data will be experimented with during the 1851 Cup in Cowes, England, followed by proof of concept technology trials in October.
The trials are necessary because many of the cameras, microphones and data systems will have to be custom designed and built, employing specialized housings and mounts.
