Abstract

Traditional outdoor broadcast for live event production can deliver incredible images and audio, but they are expensive and often struggle to capture the true immersive atmosphere and essence of being at the event. Lightweight and flexible production using mobile handsets and pop-up private 5G networks offer the potential to revolutionize how live events are captured.
