For the recent Liga F ‘El Classico’ between Barcelona and Real Madrid, host broadcaster Grup Mediapro created a broadcast set-up usually employed for major international events.
The broadcast operation included 14 cameras, including 3 super slow-motion units, a drone, a CINE RF SteadiCam, and PoleCam.
According to the company, the setup aimed to “deliver a dynamic, high-impact broadcast aligned with the rapid growth of women’s football”.
Coverage of the match, which was streamed on DAZN, began 30 minutes before kickoff with a pre-show segment that included a rare glimpse inside the dressing rooms, blending handheld footage, ENG crews, and live direction in real time.
The super slow-motion cameras delivered replays of key moments and technical highlights, while drone footage offered aerial views of the stadium and its surroundings, the SteadiCam, captured reactions at pitch level, and the PoleCam, mounted on a crane behind one of the goals, provided an additional vantage point for action in the box.
The entire operation was directed from an OB unit equipped with advanced replay systems, IP intercoms, and real-time signal monitoring, ensuring a smooth, stable, and multi-camera production that met the technical standards of major international sports events, said the company.
