Arkrys calls on ChamSys to power Eurosport Paris studios

The three recently remodeled Eurosport studios in Boulogne, France, that broadcast coverage of the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris blazed new paths in TV technology. Designed and installed by Arkrys, working with Georges Krystkowiak (Director of Photography), and Baptiste Arnaud-Benaïs (Gaffer), along with the TD of Eurosport France, Florent Marquer, the fully automated studios aired coverage from throughout the Olympic sites with ten commentary positions embedded in a virtual setting.

Controlling the lighting setups at the studios were the ChamSys MQ250M Stadium Console, along with two GeNetix 10Scene Gateways and two 10Scene Wall Plates. The new setups featured a broad array of features, including preprogrammed settings for greater speed, remote troubleshooting capabilities, and a media player and pixel-mapper in MagicQ. “The ChamSys solution allowed us to benefit from a high level of interoperability and to take control of the kit at any time”, says Arnaud-Benaïs.

Due to their augmented reality features, the revamped studios are able to deliver large, immersive live broadcast images. Lighting at the larger “Set A” is 100-percent automated with sixty moving heads. All these LED projectors are remotely operated by the MQ250M Stadium Console.

At the smaller B and C studios lighting is triggered in with the 10Scene Wall Plates, with preprogrammed settings. This eliminates the need for a console operator at all times. Operators use the 10Scene Wall Plates for instant access to presets with no risk of changing any settings. On set C, the media player and pixel mapper of the MagicQ console allow for pixel-by-pixel control of the light strips.
