Cable Cam Systems

Here is how this works in practice. Our cable cam systems across Australia cover stadium installs and long-runs for major sports broadcast, feature drama, and live entertainment. Standard rigs run CableCam by Outline, ChyronHego/Spidercam-class systems, and Defy Dactylcam Pro for compact configurations, with stabilised heads supporting ARRI Alexa Mini LF, Sony Venice 2, RED Komodo, and Sony HDC-3500 broadcast packages.

Here is the short of it. Sydney venues — Allianz Stadium, Stadium Australia, Sydney Cricket Ground — anchor NRL and Big Bash League cable cam coverage. The MCG (the 100K-capacity largest stadium in the Southern Hemisphere) and Melbourne Park anchor AFL Grand Finals, the Boxing Day Test, and the Australian Open (800K+ attendance each January). Suncorp Stadium Brisbane, the Adelaide Oval, and Optus Stadium Perth cover state league and global cricket fixtures. The F1 Australian Grand Prix at Albert Park Melbourne and Bathurst 1000 at Mount Panorama draw cable cam coverage each season.

Here is the breakdown. Live event cable cam in Australia is anchored by NEP Australia and Gravity Media OB infrastructure. The country's broadcast heritage from the 1956 Melbourne Olympics through the Sydney 2000 Games, the 2003 Rugby World Cup, and the 2006 and 2018 Commonwealth Games (Melbourne and Gold Coast) trained operators across stadiums and concert venues.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. We set up ACMA wireless frequency licensing for camera RF and downlink, Safe Work Australia rigging compliance (working-at-height tickets, scaffold and EWP qualifications), venue authority approvals (Venues NSW, Melbourne and Olympic Parks Trust, Stadiums Queensland), MEAA crew agreements with reciprocal IATSE recognition for visiting global shoots, and full public liability insurance for stadium installs that routinely run cable spans of 100-300m at heights of 30m+.
