From the 18th to the 20th of June our German company DIGI TV was involved in HD production of the Hurricane Festival in Scheeßel. Hurricane is one of the country’s largest festivals, attracting over 70 000 visitors and featuring 80 artists and bands from Germany and beyond, including The Strokes, Mando Diao, Beatsteaks, The Prodigy and Billy Talent.
DIGI TV produced the signal for 5 LED Screens as well as the TV signal. Action from the festival’s two main stages was produced using 13 cameras, two camera cranes and a rail system in front of both stages. To deliver this, DIGI TV had 39 employees and freelancers on site.
In addition to production, a multi-track recording from both stages was created, video from which was distributed through tapeless workflow via EVS XT2 and EVS XFile.

For this prestigious evening, Mediatec Broadcast Norway supplied Eurovision special events with an MCR/playout facility including 6 VTR machines, 1 Final Cut edit station, and 4 standup positions with audio, camera and lighting for both day and night shooting. The production also allowed for the possibility of 4 simultaneous outputs on fiber to EBU for onward distribution.
The entire operation lasted 8 days and with approximately 35 different TV channels using the service, it was a hectic period, to say the least.
On leaving the venue after the event en route to South Africa, Eurovision Head of Operations Mr. Bruno Beeckman commented, “Thanks for a fabulous job - flawless. You deliver!”
