An Olympia 3 commentary system device with headphones attached
From our Who’s Buying What page: ESPN Brazil used an AEQ Olympia 3 commentary system in covering the NBA Finals last June. The system was integrated by LineUP.
“The coverage is part of a technical modernization process that the network has been developing in recent years,” AEQ said in a release.
“ESPN had already worked with AEQ solutions at major international sporting events, such as the one held in Rio in 2016. The experience gained in that context has served as the basis for standardizing its operations with the Olympia 3 system.”
Olympia 3 is a commentary system for native integration into IP environments, intercom and software control.
“The project involved replacing the commentator panels used at the São Paulo headquarters, both in external booths and for live broadcasts. In total, eight units of the system were implemented, with the aim of adapting the local infrastructure to the technical standards required by large-scale international productions,” AEQ stated.
“The technical integration carried out by LineUP optimized audio monitoring and mixing, as well as enabling precise adjustments to input and output levels. In addition, communication stability between narrators, commentators and technical management was reinforced, a crucial aspect in coverage that operates with multiple production points and real-time decisions.”
In Oklahoma, the system was installed in the stadium’s commentary area, operating on IP infrastructure.
