LIVE·Horse racing
The full lap in frame — even when the leaders break away.
Flat and harness racing set two tasks at once: speed and distance. Merten can keep the field in frame for the whole lap and go with the leaders when they break away — automatically, in broadcast quality.
The situation
A race day is for racing, not for rigging.
Race days are already covered — the question is at what cost. A few minutes of sport spread across several hours still tie up a crew and their kit for the whole day. So the saving usually comes off the camera positions: fewer angles, longer distances, more wide shots — and on the back straight the horses become silhouettes.
What changes
What changes.
No lagging out of the bend
The camera stays with the field as it accelerates — and with the leaders the moment they break away.
The back straight stays readable
Instead of a wide shot where you guess at the silks, the horses stay recognisable for the whole lap.
Every race, not just the feature
Eight races in a day do not cost eight call-outs — the installation simply keeps running.
The installation
What an installation looks like.
Spread along the track
At the home straight, the bend and the back straight — the number follows the length of the course.
Permanent at the racecourse
Rigged once, then unchanged from race day to race day.
Race by race
Set the start, wait for the finish — in between it runs on its own.
