Technical support for a sports event coordinates the sound system, screens, video recording and transmissions to the rhythm of the competition.Chroma anticipates flows, zones and contingencies with the organisers, the timekeepers and the broadcasters.
We organise the layout, the interfaces between suppliers and on-site management. We work hand in hand with sport specialists: timekeepers, scoreboard suppliers, registration platforms and broadcasters.
Anticipate flows, technical zones and the constraints of the course.
Synchronise the suppliers and bring together sound, screens, transmissions and media needs.
Centralise decisions with the organisers and the authorities to manage contingencies.
Keep pace with the sportServe the media
Time the sequences
Coordinate the groundSound layout, zone coordination and liaison with the timekeeper.
Microphones, press feeds and coordination with the video recording.
Technical running order prepared with the organisers.
Wireless transmissions, centralised coordination and fallback plans.
A competition brings together very specific trades. We know their constraints and prepare our installations with them, so that everything works together on show day.
From design to delivery, we structure each sports project in clear phases with centralised management.
Study of the brief, analysis of participant and spectator flows, definition of the technical layout plan.
Supplier briefing, RF frequency plan, approval from the authorities, technical rehearsals on site.
Deployment of infrastructure (sound system, broadcast, wireless transmission), full tests, set-up of race control.
Real-time coordination, decisions on the unexpected, unified communication to every position, post-event debrief.
Feedback from our clients on working with Chroma Technique and on our audiovisual support.
Thank you Tanguy for your professionalism throughout the project. Your presence and involvement clearly made the difference on this edition, and we only had great feedback on the technical side!
A trusted supplier I work with regularly. Professionalism, responsiveness and technical quality are always there. Perfect for my events!
Very good technical level, good support and very professional. I recommend them!
Frequently asked questions about the technical aspects of sound and broadcast applied to sports events
A prior RF analysis of the site remains the crucial step. It identifies the available frequencies and potential sources of interference (Wi-Fi, 4G, other equipment).
With a rigorous methodology, 15 to 32 wireless microphones can operate simultaneously without interference.
For real-time interaction, audio latency must stay below 50ms. Beyond that, exchanges between in-person and remote participants become difficult.
Technical solutions: NDI, ST 2110 with PTP, or DANTE to stay below the critical threshold. Standard platforms (Zoom, Teams) often exceed 200ms.
The choice depends on the complexity of your event and the audio distribution distances.
Choose DANTE if:
Stay analogue if: simple event, a single zone, technical crews not trained on DANTE. Technical complexity should match the real need.
Basic tests are not enough. You need to simulate the real conditions of your event.
Test methodology:
Practical calculation: 2 Mbit/s per participant for high-quality audio streaming. Allow a 30% margin to compensate for an unstable network.
Technical honesty is better than improvisation. A supplier who recognises their limits inspires more confidence.
Possible options:
Our role: identify these situations in advance and propose solutions suited to your budget and schedule.
The critical points are flows, announcement sound, public/organisation zones, weather, timings, power, any video recording and security coordination.
Yes. The whole point is to think about these trades together to avoid conflicts over zones, schedules, cabling or priorities on show day.
