One would not know from watching the images of superbikes pushing themselves to the limit on the demanding Buddh International Circuit in Greater Noida, which is hosting the inaugural MotoGP Bharat races this weekend, how much data processing and technological muscle required to broadcast every single frame around the globe. Tata Communications, which provides broadcast connection for the MotoGP and several other major sporting events, is in charge of this cutting-edge operation.
What is MotoGP Bharat and everyone is talking about it?
The MotoGP is one sport where they fervently improve the technology, like the onboard cameras, for example. As soon as a video taken, we enter the picture. To dependably provide the footage to the producer first, we must employ technology, says Dhaval Ponda, Global Head, Media and Entertainment Services, Tata Communications. This is more difficult than it may seem because it requires creating a final feed from every camera on board, several video feeds from the event, and even overhead through drones and helicopters.
Ponda clarifies that he’s using this example because they’ve spent months using local private 5G deployment and other cutting-edge technology to get that video in the lowest latency and at 4K quality. “When you have a bike that is moving at let’s say over 100 miles per hour and then you are trying to get video from it at the same time, we run into some technology issues which cause the video to lose quality, to go out of sync,” Ponda says. The degree of devotion and meticulousness that goes into the sport seen here.
The Tata Communications teams are able to provide the hundreds of feeds required by their broadcast partners around the world thanks to a broadcast compound full of pods and cabins that tucked away in the middle of the chaotic race course where dozens of bikes setting new records despite the oppressive north Indian heat.
