Polecam at World Cup 2006
Thursday, 03 January 2008

The Iconix HD-RH1 was used at the World Cup this year by Aerial Camera Systems in Godalming, UK. Matt Coyde from ACS said "The cameras were fitted in to special mounts at the back corner of the official FIFA goalnet (camera side) to provide the 'in goal' camera shot with two sets provided for every game of the World Cup 2006. The Iconix cameras were fitted with Fuji 1/3 inch 2.8mm lenses and utilised the Polecam RCP camera control system to enable the pictures to be matched to the other cameras from the OB. Picture Transmission and control were transmitted over single mode fibre utilising Telecast POV systems from the camera positions to the OB outside the stadium."
