Alfacam, the Belgian company delivering services to TV stations and production houses, and its daughter wireless company Eurolinx were chosen to cover two ITU World Triathlon Series competitions: Madrid and Kitzbühel. The series in Madrid was covered in May 2012 in co-production with Spanish production house ISB TV. Alfacam and Eurolinx will produce the series in Kitzbühel (23-24 June) for event organiser Tri Austria Event- und Management. For each event, one OB XXL truck, one OB RF wireless truck (OB 8), two moto’s and one helicopter are used for the production. A team of 30 including seven Eurolinx wireless engineers is present during the events. Created in 2009, the ITU World Triathlon Series allows athletes to compete head-to-head on an ongoing basis. Expanding upon the previous single-day World Championship, the format features seven events and finishes with a Grand Final. This year’s Series ends up in Auckland in October. www.alfacam.com
