Jakarta, March 15 (Antara) - The Indonesia Asian Games 2018 Organizing Committee (INASGOC) is preparing facilities for broadcasting live of sport events of the Asian Games in Jakarta, Palembang and in a number of locations in West Java next August.
"We have to provide at least two cabins for the production of television live broadcasts in every game arena because a number of sports have a lot of events like athletics," said INASGOC Broadcasting Director Linda Wahyudi in Jakarta on Thursday (March 15).
As a means of supporting direct broadcast facility, the live television production cabin, according to Linda, is more needed rather than the outdoor broadcasting van (OB Van) or Satellite News Gathering (SNG) cars.
Linda said each television production cabin can accommodate broadcast production from five to 10 cameras. While the sports branches with a lot of matches such as athletics require up to 20 cameras for the production of television broadcasts.
"We are also setting up a number of cabins on the track discipline cycling race located at Jakarta's Rawamangun Velodrome and discipline road race. For downhill and BMX disciplines, we will only provide SNG cars," Linda said.
The Asian Games's live TV broadcast production that requires a lot of support equipment and facilities, according to Linda, is the men's and women's marathon races.
"We will use a number of cameras including cameras on helicopters and cameras attached to motorcycles for the marathon race for two days," Linda said.
The INASGOC Broadcasting Department will begin to build the Asian Games's International Broadcast Center (IBC) at the Jakarta Convention Center, Senayan, on June 4 in preparation for television stations holding broadcasting rights to develop their studios.
"If you look at the room requests from foreign broadcast stations that have broadcast rights, you will see that the JCC seems to be lacking space, but we will look at it later after the IBC is already developed," Linda said.
Workers from the television stations holding broadcasting right on the Asian Games events, will begin working on arranging their equipment and facilities at the IBC on August 1, 2018. The 18th Asian Games will be held in Jakarta and Palembang, South Sumatra, from August 18 to September 2, 2018.
Indonesia plans to broadcast live 38 out of the 40 sports to be competed at the Asian Games 2018.
"We will use a total of 427 high-definition cameras to broadcast all sports events live, except for bridge and squash," Linda Wahyudi stated last year.
INASGOC has signed a contract with Swiss International Games and Broadcast Services as a partner in broadcasting the Asian Games 2018 live.
A Japanese broadcasting company Dentsu will be the Asian Games 2018 broadcast rights holder, while the Emtek Group has the broadcast rights of the 2018 Asian Games for Indonesia.
INASGOC expects to spend up to Rp800 billion to broadcast live the 38 sports events as well as the opening and closing ceremonies and targets 20 countries to broadcast live for three weeks.
According to INASGOC Chairman Erick Thohir, six Asian countries have already acquired the broadcasting rights: Qatar, China, Japan, Taiwan, the Philippines, and India.
Besides Asian and Latin American countries, Indonesia is also eyeing the US to buy rights to broadcast live the events, as there are several Asians living there, Thohir noted.
Four to five billion people are expected to watch the events and activities during the three-week Asiad, Thohir noted.
INASGOC spokesman Danny Buldansyah vowed to provide the best services while organizing the Asian Games.
It is forecast that some three thousand media representatives will cover the events. The INASGOC will provide media centers at the Jakarta Convention Center located within the Bung Karno Sports Complex, which is the arena for the Asian Games in Jakarta.
Journalists covering the Asian Games events in Palembang, South Sumatra Province, will find the media center in the Jakabaring area, which houses the venues for the athletes to compete.
"We will provide special information to the media, which is different from the information we publish on the official sites," Buldansyah said late last year.
He said the media center at the JCC is able to accommodate some 700 journalists. Although the capacity of the media center at the JCC is not in accordance with the number of invited journalists, the work of the media representatives will hopefully not be hindered as not all of them will be working at the JCC.
"Apart from the media center at the JCC, media representatives can cover the sports at the venues both in Jakarta and Palembang," Buldansyah was quoted as saying by metrotvnews.com online portal.
The 18th Asian Games 2018, to be attended by 45 countries, will feature 462 events of 40 sports of which 32 are Olympic sports and eight are non-Olympic sports.
The Olympic sports are Aquatics, Athletics, Fencing, Weightlifting, Basketball, Handball, Badminton, Baseball/Softball, Cycling, Equestrian, Golf, Wrestling, Hockey, Judo, Karate, Canoeing and Kayaking, Sailing, Shooting, Modern Pentathlon, Archery, Sport climbing, Rowing, Rugby, Gymnastics, Skateboarding, Football, Table Tennis, Taekwondo, Tennis, Boxing, Triathlon, and Volleyball.
