In an exciting new chapter of our remote production capabilities, Timeline has partnered with E1 and Aurora to bring the E1 Series from glamorous waters from around the world back to our Ealing Broadcast Centre technical hub. The E1 series itself is a boundary-pushing concept which compliments our implementation of a robust, replicable remote production concept. For the most recent race, our technical teams were based on the shores of Lake Como and oversaw 25 camera sources including super slow cameras plus additional GFX and timing feeds returned to our hub in Ealing.

We entertained the local crowd with our programme output returned to their big screens and captured the excitement of the event into our programme by conducting live interviews with the boat pilots from our commentary booths whilst they were still on the water moments after crossing the finish line, all culminating into many hours of live programming shared with screens across the world.

🇫🇷 We were delighted to work with BBC Sport for their Olympics coverage from the Stade de France! UHD1 did a quick turn around after the Tour de France and was back in Paris for BBC's pres coverage.

Our trip to France isn't over yet though as we are staying in Paris for the next few weeks working on the Paralympics with Whisper!

A look back at our trip to Manchester last month to cover UFC 304. We supplied UHD4 & 5 for one of the first live television broadcasts from the Co-op Live Arena, in addition we also supplied 22 cameras and 7 networked EVS Vias rigged across both scanners to provide host coverage, all of which were carefully curated by our fantastic guarantee crew.

We are very proud to have delivered Tour de France coverage for ITV Sport this year!

It was a long but rewarding endeavour for UHD1 and our crew to keep up with some of the best cyclists in the world from the start line in Florence all they way to the finish line in Nice a month later!

Here's a look back at our action packed trip to Silverstone where we provided the technical facilities for the live broadcast of the British Grand Prix on Channel 4. It was great to be back working with Whisper on such a complex and high profile event!

It's been a busy summer for us so far and a big highlight of it has most certainly been providing technical facilities and crew once again to BBC Studios at this year’s Glastonbury Festival of The Contemporary Performing Arts. Onsite, our UHD 3, 5 and 5 scanners along with RF3 & 4 and our fibre hub facilitated hours of content from the biggest festival in the UK with our team looking after radio cameras working across the festival site, fibre interlinking between the stages covered by the BBC, uplinking of satellite broadcast circuits and the presentation facilities for the programmes aired on BBC1, 2, 3 and 4 as well as one of the two dedicated iPlayer channels. The second iPlayer channel was produced off-site from our Ealing Broadcast Centre.

Things are heating up in Germany as we enter the knockout stage of Euro 2024 and we are proud to be playing such an integral role in the UK coverage of the tournament. We are working with the BBC for their studio and pitch side coverage and with both BBC and ITV for their IBC infrastructure and facilities.

We recently worked alongside UMTV and Red Bull to produce Hardline 2024 and Soapbox London 2024.

The two jobs were both demanding in their own rights. At Hardline this year we ran over 20km of fibre optic infrastructure with 34 cameras down one of the toughest downhill mountain biking courses in the northern hemisphere.

Within two weeks we swiftly turned around our kit and dusted the midges off to deliver two simultaneous shows at the Red Bull Soapbox Race London 2024. Timeline delivered vital communications between event management, facilitated a screens production for 9 large screens for an audience of 16,000 on site, engineered two presentation positions for a live YouTube creators show and that’s even before we get to the race cameras and effects microphones.

We were honoured to be a part of BBC Studio’s commemorative events coverage of the 80th anniversary of D-Day.

The events marking these historic moments were attended by VIP guests, veterans and their families. Timeline was proud to contribute to the coverage, bringing these important stories to life.

Our OB7 unit facilitated the BBC’s event coverage at Southsea Common, where they shared the story of Operation Overlord, military salutes and an evening show symbolising the airborne assault.

Additionally, our UHD5 unit travelled to Normandy, to cover The Great Vigil at the War Cemetery in Bayeux. The live musical performances were captured beautifully and were a key part of the event, they were mixed in the sound area of UHD5. This along with the generous production areas made the truck the perfect solution to the onsite production requirements.

It was a privilege to help tell these powerful stories.
