Courchevel Ski Mountaineering Sprint
Using Haivision transmitters and MoJoPro, Obsess Media delivered seamless multi-cam coverage across rugged alpine terrain
About Obsess Media
“Capturing ski mountaineering in a way that truly reflects the speed, effort, and intensity of the athletes requires being right in the middle of the action. Working with Haivision allowed us to go beyond traditional production—we had the flexibility to move with the athletes and bring viewers a much closer, more emotional perspective.”
– Damien Chailloux, CEO at Obsess Media
The Challenge
The Solution
Haivision and Obsess Media co-developed a highly agile live production workflow using a mix of mobile and fixed solutions, including:
- 4 broadcast cameras
- 4 PTZ cameras
- 4 smartphone cameras equipped with Haivision MoJoPro
- 1 mobile camera
- 2 drones
While MoJoPro-enabled smartphones wirelessly transmitted footage over the public 5G network—capturing dynamic shots from all-terrain vehicles—PTZ and broadcast cameras provided fixed-location coverage of key obstacle zones and finish lines via a fiber infrastructure. Meanwhile, drones delivered sweeping aerial views of the course.
As Jean-Marc Racine, Chief Product Officer at Haivision, explained, “Because of the nature of alpine sports like ski mountaineering, it’s important to get up close and personal with the athletes and provide engaging camera viewpoints that help audiences get a better appreciation for what the athletes are experiencing. This is exactly what our partner Obsess Media were focusing on. By using MoJoPro smartphones, broadcast, drone, and PTZ cameras, and a mix of connectivity, they were able to produce the event in a cost-effective way that didn’t sacrifice quality while bringing the action closer to the viewers.”
The Result
The production delivered a broadcast-quality live stream from a very challenging sporting environment. By combining mobile 5G transmission with fiber-connected infrastructure, the setup achieved both mobility and stability. This approach allowed for a complete live production from the mountain to the audience—without disrupting the athletes or compromising the authenticity of the event. The coverage successfully showcased the intensity of the competition and demonstrated a new approach to mountain-based sports broadcasting.
