Wire Cam Systems

Here is how this works in practice. Ireland's wire-cam infrastructure runs through Skycam (the broadcast standard for sports-stadium overhead camera flight) and Newton Nova III gyro-stabilised remote heads. With cross-border London plan that move the heaviest wire-cam inventory between Dublin. Belfast. The UK on the same broadcast week under CTA seamless plan. The major sports broadcast circuit anchors local credits: GAA All-Ireland Final at Croke Park (Skycam coverage of the 82,000-capacity stadium each September. This has the most-watched live-broadcast event in Ireland).

Here is the short of it. Six Nations Rugby at Aviva Stadium (BBC + ITV + Virgin Media + TG4 wire-cam coverage), FAI football internationals at Aviva and Tallaght Stadium. Plus concert wire-cam at 3Arena Dublin, SSE Arena Belfast and Marlay Park summer festivals. Game of Thrones Northern Ireland deployed wire-cam at Titanic Studios Paint Hall (Europe's largest single-volume sound stage at 16,000 sq ft) for the celebrated throne-room and Wall sequence overhead plates across all 8 seasons. Branagh's Belfast and Banshees of Inisherin wire-cam set up-shot work covers urban-and-coastal exterior plates.

Here is the breakdown. Gear flow runs Skycam 4-cable matrix-rig systems with Newton Nova III gyro-stabilised remote heads carrying ARRI Alexa Mini LF + RED V-Raptor 8K + Sony Venice 2 + ARRI Alexa 35 cinema bodies. Spidercam Light + Spidercam Field 2 + Spidercam Plus for the heavier studio + stadium tentpole work. Plus Cablecam by Outline North America at the upper end of feature-cinema wire-cam capacity. Cable runs span 50 m through 800 m configurations based on rigging anchor and venue infrastructure. The Aviva Stadium + Croke Park + 3Arena + SSE Arena Belfast carry permanently-installed wire-cam mount points for broadcast deployment.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. Atlantic maritime conditions drive specific wire-cam protocols on outdoor festival deployments (Marlay Park + Galway International Arts Festival + Electric Picnic + Body & Soul). Health and Safety Authority (HSA) sign-off plus dedicated rigging supervisor certification is needed on all overhead wire-cam deployments. Section 481 32% relief plus 40% regional uplift covers wire-cam day rates and rigging engineer fees. Cross-border CTA plan move inventory between Republic and Northern Ireland same-week.
