Germany’s Leading Outdoor Broadcast Vehicle Service Provider Uses POV Camera for Soccer, Formula 1 Racing and Winter Sports

IBC, Amsterdam, 7 September, 2007 – Iconix Video, a leading developer of advanced high-definition camera systems and manufacturer of the world’s smallest professional quality HD video camera, today announced the use of the Iconix HD-RH1 camera system by premier German outdoor broadcast company TopVision Telekommunication for all its outdoor broadcast vehicles.

Based in Berlin, TopVision’s outdoor broadcast trucks are a familiar sight at Germany’s largest soccer games, including those for the National League, the Champions’ League and the UEFA cup. TopVision is employed on a number of high-profile national and international assignments, including the production of five Federal Football League games produced each week for German cable network Premiere, as well as the F1 World Championships, the Ice Hockey World Championships and the FIS Nordic World Skiing Championships.

TopVision’s outdoor vans boast robust HD technology, including up to 24 Sony HDC-1000, HDC-1500 and HDC-1550 cameras, four Sony HD SuperMotion 3x cameras and four Iconix HD-RH1 camera systems.

“Our goal has always been to offer the newest innovations in HD broadcasting,” commented TopVison’s COO Eduard Palasan. “The Iconix is very well suited to sports broadcasting because of its size, and because of the high-quality footage it provides. We used 10 Iconix cameras at the Ice Sledge World Cup, many of them in places inaccessible to a conventional Sony HD camera and camera operator. The results were amazing.”
