On July 1st Poland took over the Presidency of the Council of the European Union and has led number of sessions and conferences in all five cities selected to welcome the officials and delegates of the European Union.
It is the first presidency for Poland since joining the EU in 2004 and it lasted 6 months, until it was passed over to Denmark in December 2011.
The official meetings were held in 5 different cities in Poland: Sopot, Wroclaw, Krakow, Poznan and Warsaw.  In highly secured venues, TRBroadcast was requested to set up a production system to broadcast the official sessions.

Efficiency

TRBroadcast was assigned to design, deliver and install the system, which was composed by 2 TriCaster 850 switchers and 1 extra for back-up, LC-11 control surface and LiveText.  The organizer asked for 2 identical sets and redundancy equipment as the reaction time in case of default was only 10 minutes.
The consulting work of the project started 2 months prior to the inauguration and lasted 3 weeks. The installation at each location took 5 days to be finalized. TRBroadcast was in charge of TriCaster and the cameras installation. Depending on the venue’s configuration, capture was made with 3 to 5 Panasonic pan & tilt cameras. They also set up the internal in-house TV with 5 channels, one of them dedicated to display the Agenda prepared with LiveText.

The feeds were recorded with TriCaster in order to provide selected extracts and previews to be shown on the national Polish television. The recorded material and previews edited for television were also released on the Poland Presidency website.
The live sessions were strictly confidential and reserved to the delegates. The feeds were released in real-time to projectors and monitors in the plenary room and listening rooms.
