All Stations Go for on-site Broadcast

All Stations Go for on-site Broadcast

All stations were a go for the CETS crew heading up on-site broadcast, post-production and ingest services for Screentime Australia and Channel 7’s, SAS: Australia production.

The Australian franchise of the UK series, SAS: Who Dares Wins, is a reality TV show where seventeen celebrities, athletes and stars are challenged to complete SAS selection course training. Special Forces trainers put contestants to the ultimate test of willpower, strength of mind and physical endurance.

Just like the recruits, We were eager to step up to the challenge providing 24/7 support to the production team. CETS provided the fixed rig camera systems, media storage and data wrangling. It also provided remote internet connection and equipment to the remote production site near Jindabyne, NSW.

COVID-19 and climate condition challenges

Project and R&D engineer Rob Burton said the team had to jump through some hurdles and conquer logistical barriers to provide all the on-site cameras and equipment.

“With 38 cameras around the production set, there were some logistical challenges. Not least of which was the challenge of working with COVID-19 restrictions”, he said. 

Despite the tough conditions, the team provided solutions to ensure high-quality coverage of the training base.

Pete Laird, Head of CETS, said the camera and operating equipment were just one of the obstacles the team worked through on their journey. The weather also provided a challenge.

“The windy and cloudy days meant that the internet connection wasn’t quite cutting it for the amount of work required for the start of production.

“Our team dug deep to make the best of the extreme conditions finding all available solutions, but as luck would have it, on one of the last days of prep we were blessed with a sunny, wind-free day. This meant we could adjust our solutions for optimum performance,” he said.

Overall, CETS helped ease the production setup and workflow for SAS: Australia contributing to what is now a hit series.
