It’s a Wayne Mardle Christmas – directed by Joseph Perry for Sky Sports. Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without the World Championships on Sky!

Sky Sports commenced a new 3 year contract in 2013 for the US Open tennis, an event they have shown for over 15 years. 4 years ago, it was decided for the first time to have a presence on site, and for the last 3 years, this has also included a studio, production scanner and edit trailer, as well as a pair of ENG cameramen getting Sky their own view of the action.

In addition, we needed to integrate the existing EVS systems on site, for sending material (and match streams) to shared edit storage, and to allow tapeless transfer of completed edits back to the EVS XT3′s for playback.
