Welcome to the 28th SEA Games
RHB Newsletter
Welcome to the first Rights
Holding Broadcasters Newsletter
for the 28th SEA Games. This
publication will serve as a conduit
for important broadcast and
operational information.
A second edition will be issued in
April. The frequency will increase
as we approach the 28th SEA
Games.
Update on coverage plan
Live feeds of a total of 17 sports, as
well as the Opening and Closing
Ceremonies, will now be made
available to all RHBs at the IBC
following amendments to the
coverage plan.
The 17 sports are Athletics,
Aquatics, Badminton, Basketball,
9-Ball Pool, Bowling (step-ladder
finals), Boxing, Football, Gymnastics
(Artistic), Hockey, Netball, Pencak
Silat, Sepaktakraw, Table Tennis,
Tennis, Volleyball and Wushu.
Details of the distribution of the live
feeds will be relayed in due course.
Power standards at the IBC
BTP will be backed up with 2N
redundancy, designed to be
uninterruptible. Therefore, there is
no longer a necessity for RHBs to
install their own uninterruptible
power supply at the IBC.
RHBs are also reminded to
familiarise themselves with the
power standards at the IBC before
arrival in Singapore. Details on
both these topic are available in
the Broadcast Technical Power
leaflet available on the 28th SEA
Games Downloads platform.
