Same as above but from the Nine event stream
Suppose there’s no need to stick a 4G repeater at the top of the West Gate Bridge
What is this from?
BT (formerly British Telecom) tower in London. 3G = 3Gb/s data stream.
Here is one from this week on Channel 4

If I remember correctly, it was from a football match - may or may not have capped it whilst at work one night…
Interesting to see an ATV-10 testcard in there as well.
I think some of the CBD microwave links are shared between all broadcasters which is probably why the ATV test card sneaks in.
I assume their Dejeros are not shared so you would not see a Dejero feed from another network. And I don’t think all networks use Dejero anyway. Nine definitely do.
Ten uses Dejero, Seven uses TVU and the ABC use LiveU units. Basically all provide the same function, just different brands or technologies.
The stations do sometimes go in to pooling arrangements so exchanging footage with each other is quite common.
Do they share a helicopter as well?
Not really. It’s pretty common (at least in Melbourne) for networks to pool vision with each other.
The ATV test card would be there because of news exchange… it wouldn’t be going out from a link truck.
As for ENG links, it’s generally accepted that stations don’t tune into the frequencies of others. It’s actually a breach of the license to transmit on that freq unless requested to do so.
