Multi-Camera Setups

Here is how this works in practice. Our multi-camera setups in New Zealand scale from 4-camera ENG-style corporate keynote rigs to 20+ camera live-broadcast packages for All Blacks rugby at Eden Park Auckland (50K+ capacity) and Sky Stadium Wellington, Black Caps cricket at Bay Oval Mount Maunganui and Hagley Oval Christchurch, Super Rugby Pacific fixtures, and major concerts at Spark Arena (12K) and Western Springs Stadium (50K outdoor).

Here is how this works in practice. Standard rigs combine Sony HDC-3500 / HDC-P50, Panasonic AK-UC4000, and Blackmagic URSA Broadcast G2 packages with Blackmagic ATEM Constellation 8K / 4 M/E switchers, Riedel Bolero / Clear-Com FreeSpeak II intercom, and full talkback fabric. Reality and format TV runs 6-8 camera observational rigs with Atomos Connect / Teradek Bolt 4K wireless monitoring. Scripted multi-cam projects in the Top of the Lake (Queenstown) and Power of the Dog custom use 3-camera narrative coverage with synchronised timecode.

Here is the short of it. America's Cup 2021 (NZ-defended in Auckland). The FIFA Women's World Cup 2023 (co-hosted across Auckland, Wellington, Hamilton, Dunedin) established the country's tier-one multi-cam credentials, with later demand spanning Tourism New Zealand brand activations, Live Nation NZ concert promotion, and broadcast partnerships with TVNZ, Three NZ, Sky Sport NZ, and Spark Sport. We bundle Radio Spectrum Management (RSM) frequency licensing through Tait Communications (Christchurch — global radio comms manufacturer), MEAA-Equity NZ reciprocal credentialing for trans-Tasman crew rotation under the 3-hour Sydney-Auckland flight window, WorkSafe NZ compliance, ACC universal accident insurance, and iwi/hapū consultation where culturally major whenua are involved (Eden Park, Tongariro Crossing endurance events, Lake Taupo Ironman). NZSPG 20% + 5% productivity uplift records runs through the The country Film Commission where the live event ties to a qualifying production package.
