Thomson has announced that, as part of its partnership with French TV network TFI, it will be supplying most of the equipment being used for the 2007 Rugby World Cup, beginning next weekend and running until 20th October.
Thomson's equipment will be used for image production, including capturing and producing high definition images, and for broadcasting high definition via satellite TV, ADSL, and via Paris's HD DTT experiment.
Patrick Montliaud, Vice-President of Integration and Network Solutions, within Thomson’s Systems division, said, "We are proud to have accompanied TF1 over the last several years and to have together met the technical challenge posed by the broadcasting of the Rugby World Cup. The Thomson solutions chosen by TF1 will meet the standards of reliability and quality of viewers who will be getting their World Cup images through very diverse media.”
