Hearcorp Principal Dave Bjornson, a 10-year veteran of the Games as an A2 and A1, serves as audio supervisor and teamed with Justin Gordon, lead at sound-reinforcement provider Creative Technologies, and CP Communications Senior RF Tech Manager Frank Rafka to create a single Dante-over-MADI IP network for the entire event’s audio needs, including live sound and comms.

Rafka sees the CrossFit Games as a good platform for CP’s extensive foray into cellular-bonding technology, which allows two or more cellular modems to be combined in a way that enables the end user to utilize the combined bandwidth. Cellular bonding transmits live streams via multiplexed cellular signals when Ethernet or Wi-Fi isn’t available. Instead of satellite transmissions, multiple cellular modems are deployed to combine 3G, 4G, LTE, and other cellular signals to boost connectivity.
CP’s complement for this year’s Games includes seven conventional microwave cameras with full Paint control across all venues, one bonded-cell camera with full Paint control across all venues, and 11 bonded-cellular cameras across the Outside Events Group competitions happening at the Capitol Building and at the pool at the Nicholas Rec Center. All have full Paint control and video return and use both Mobile Viewpoint and AVIWEST bonded devices.
