Videosys is pleased to announce the sale of five Camera Control Systems to Presteigne Broadcast Hire Ltd which will be used on a major sporting event on the River Thames in London on April 2019.
Ben Hawker, Senior Supervisor RF and Special Cameras, Presteigne Broadcast Hire said, “As a premier source of broadcast hire equipment for live sporting events, we offer a vast range of products and services to fulfil our clients’ objectives. For this particular event, and others in the future, we needed reliable, easy-to-use and high-quality camera control systems. We are proud of our reputation and working with best-of-breed products which is why we decided to invest in Videosys technology. Although we do offer 24/7 service and support, the Videosys partnership means that we can also utilise their support as necessary and for more complex projects, we know that we can rely on their expertise.”
Videosys’ Camera Control System is comprised of three units – Indoor Unit (IDU), Outdoor Unit (ODU) and Camera Receiver (CCRX). The CC system provides an end-to-end solution from RCP to camera for the outside broadcaster, allowing them to seamlessly control their camera settings, no matter what the location. Available in a ready-to-install system or the option of a bespoke system if required.
Colin Tomlin Managing Director of Videosys Broadcast added, “Presteigne approached us to deliver a camera control system that would allow them to work in challenging multi-zone environment over a protracted area based on the River Thames in London. Our equipment already met much of the system requirements, but coupled with further development from our side, we were able to deliver the multi zone functionality over the existing IP network fulfilling the control requirements on a tight deadline.
Videosys Camera Control Systems have been used at 100’s of live events around the world including major golf events, football tournaments and at live music events. We understand the challenges our customers face and are always there to provide the best products with the best service.”
We installed Videosys Broadcast’s Camera Control System to work with our GV LDX 8000 Elite which we used at the World MotoCross GP.
Videosys Camera Control Systems are of the highest quality Videosys were delivered in the time stipulated and their after sales service was second to none. We look forward to working with Videosys in the near future

Videosys successfully installed three complete RF Mini Cam Transmission systems and at this years’ Bournemouth Airshow along with two roaming radios camera systems to broadcast live on the big screens on the beach and streamed direct to Air Show TV on YouTube. On a custom made mount, Videosys secured a mini-cam with Broadcast Nano RF transmitter and 1W Nano PA to one of the members of the Tiger Army Parachute Display Team providing pictures even inside the aircraft over the jump zone. In addition, two cameras were fitted, one on the wing the other above the cockpit of the Super Pitts Muscle Plane. A further system was fixed to one on the Aero SuperBatics Wing Walkers offering stunning images of the wing walking girls in action. Using an array of 6 antennas fed into three PRORXD receivers, coupled with a further remote receive position IP linked back to the main MCR, Videosys was able relay video signals from the planes and parachutist’s directly to the big screens on the beach giving everyone attending a close up of the on-board action #antenna#RF#transmitter#videosys
