German Broadcasters use even more Centauri II
during Pope’s visit to Bavaria.

25 August 2006, Hallbergmoos. From September 9 till 14 Pope Benedict XVI will visit Germany and travel through his homeland Bavaria. People in this mostly catholic part of the country await this visit with a particular enthusiasm. However the live transmissions of every public event with the participation of the Pope will be on air on the both main German public TV Channels – ARD and ZDF.

More than 200 cameras will follow Benedict XVI on his way in Regensburg, Munich and small Bavarian towns like Altötting, Marktl and Freising. Production teams of ZDF and Bayerischer Rundfunk (Bavarian Public Television and Radio), being in charge of ARD, rented more than 100 additional MAYAH Centauri II Audio Gateway codecs to completely cover their needs for technical and editorial communication between tens of the OB Vans, SNG points and the main control rooms.

Last year MAYAH solution successfully provided high quality wireless audio communication via 3G/UMTS as the Pope Benedict XVI was visiting Cologne during the World Youth Day and was preaching from the ship on the Rhein river. There were Portable Codec / Mixer Merk II, Audio Gateway Codecs Centauri II and 3G/UMTS-Box Sedna used.
