Just
what does this mean? LaLiga offered the following breakdown:
Virtualised
stands, new camera angles
“The
biggest change for the return of the competition is the virtualised
broadcasting that LaLiga will offer to international broadcast
partners, which will allow matches to be seen in an attractive way
that closely resembles how they looked and sounded before the
competition was postponed.
“For
these broadcasts, the stands will be virtualised and will always
offer to-scale images of seated fans wearing the colours of the home
club. To develop this digital experience, LaLiga collaborated with
Norwegian company VIZRT, which also works with other European
leagues.
“In
moments when the game is stopped, this image of fans can be
transformed into a canvas that matches the colour of the home team
and will carry institutional messages among other offerings.
“This
innovative broadcast will also feature virtual sound, which has been
obtained through collaboration with EA SPORTS FIFA, in a project
called Sounds of the Stands. Through this, the audio library of
LaLiga official sponsor EA, which was recorded in real stadiums, has
been used and has been digitally adapted so that it can be
implemented in real time during the match. It will be adapted to the
flow of the game as certain situations occur, such as a goal or a
foul, creating what is known as Atmospheric Audio.
“Some cameras will shift their location to positions where they would previously have affected the sightline of fans in the stands. Among other examples, the aerial camera will modify its flight path to offer new shots, the bench camera will be moved to the opposite stand, while robotic cameras will be used in the tunnel for reasons of health safety.”
