For this reason, synchronicity and latency was not a matter of concern on this case, as it is in a multiple-camera setup when it becomes crucial. The setup was composed by a wireless camera that was used for interviews and other outdoor inputs while another traditional and cabled system was used for the match itself. The uplink capabilities of the configured link were between 100 and 150 Mbps, although only 20 Mbps were required for the HD contribution. This deployment was based on a commercial Non-Standalone (NSA) 5G network using the 3.5 GHz (n78 band) frequency. The fact of being affordable conforms an advantage in the easiness and readiness of the deployment. Apart from that, the cameraman degree of freedom has seen an increase since they are able to move freely without any cables. These capabilities enable producers and broadcasters to stream more immediately, more flexibly and resulting in lower costs than before. Once the camera stream arrived to the production studios via 5G and the backbone network, it was sent into a stream hub with the other camera inputs to complete the production setup.ĥG’s uplink capabilities are crucial, given the huge bandwidth they offer compared to previous 4G networks (nowadays a 4G camera set-up usually combine 16 SIMs to reach the same bandwidth a single 5G connection can provide). More precisely, the chosen device was the AIR 320 5G equipment, manufactured by Aviwest, which is ideal for this purpose since it integrates a 5G modem and the video coding hardware needed. With the purpose of connecting the video camera to the Movistar+ production studios in Tres Cantos (Madrid), an ultra-portable HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding, H.265) and H.264 mobile transmitter over bonded IP networks was used.

A professional camera was connected to the Movistar 5G commercial network and from there, to the production studios. This is an avant-garde move for television broadcast. Movistar, a Telefonica brand, as the main sponsor of the Spanish basketball Copa del Rey, covered different basketball matches making use of a camera connected to the Movistar commercial 5G network.
