A bird’s-eye view of the entire stadium was broadcast on TV in the professional baseball game “My Navi All-Star Game 2021” last summer, and it is gaining increasing attention. The photo was taken by Aerosense Co., Ltd. (Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo), using the company’s wired drone system, Aerobo on Air, for 4 hours and 30 minutes from the start to the end of the match. It provided images from a height of up to 90m, close-up images of athletes using a 30x zoom, spectators, and night views around the stadium, and was used everywhere in the TV Asahi program that aired. At the stadium where the game was played, inquiries such as “How are you shooting that video?” Were received during the broadcast, and the team staff confirmed that they went to the shooting site. The video will leave an impression on the viewer, and its use is likely to expand in the future.
The upcoming players with a 30x zoom and the night view around the stadium are also talked about.
The game was held on July 17, 2021 at Rakuten Seimei Park Miyagi (Miyagino-ku, Sendai City, home of the professional baseball Rakuten Golden Eagles). BS Asahi, CS Tele Asahi Channel 2 broadcast live from the homelander bee scene at 16:55 to the end of the game from 18:00 on the TV Asahi series.
Aerobo On Air was adopted as one of the relay equipment, and it shot the video for 4 hours and 30 minutes from the start of the game to the end of the game, and continued to provide it to the TV program production side. The production side also made effective use of this video, and in addition to broadcasting a lot before and after switching offense and defense and before and after the commercial, the excitement in the stadium and the night view of Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture were delivered. After clearing issues such as video rights, Aerosense announced it in December of the end of last year.
The Aeroboon Air drone is a rotary wing aircraft that is connected to a photoelectric composite cable developed by Aerosense. It is a major feature that it can fly for a long time and transmit high-quality images in real time by supplying power through a cable and controlling it.
Aerosense says, “For applications that you can’t miss, or for continuous aerial photography that you can’t edit later, a wired drone is better than a regular wireless drone that requires takeoff and landing to replace the battery. For example, live sports. It is effective in scenes and scenes that require continuous aerial photography. It is also suitable for real-time relay applications because it can transmit high-quality images with low delay. Also, the time required for flight preparation and withdrawal is fixed at about 10 minutes. It takes less time before and after shooting than a camera. “
