Genesis

TV Production – Case Study

Blink was very closely involved as a screen and equipment supplier for the Genesis ‘Turn it on Again’ comeback tour in 2006. The band’s management wanted a live broadcast (via satellite) one of the shows from Dusseldorf directly to a network of cinemas in the UK

Our solution was to up-weight the touring screens cameras to a total of 8 in HD format, record the audio in 5.1 (essential for the true cinema experience) and embed that directly on the video feed as it left the stadium. The touring video crew – who already knew the show inside out – were the mainstay of the production team.

The result the biggest ever live satellite relay of a concert to sold out audiences who, through the magic of HD and the impact of the big cinema screen were able to get as close as possible to actually being there.
