Making sure the lighting at the three main arenas reaches the demands of television broadcasting

With renewable powering methodologies close to the centre of the lighting programmes, briefings will be received on the lighting design (including mini wind turbines and photo voltaics implementation, lux levels, lamp types, energy consumption and generation, impact on wildlife) and lighting towers by prefabrication at ground level and lifting in place to avoid working at height.

Scope of presentation:

* The broadcasting requirements for Cameras and how these were represented in the specifications
* The positive effect of working with the structure designers at the early stages
* The challenges of HD and Slow Motion and how these were
* The challenges the different venues presented for commissioning
