General
On behalf of the IOC, OBS is responsible for the production of the host signals of the 125th IOC Session
in Buenos Aires, OBS is working in coordination with the Local Organising Committee to create these
signals and is trusting Eurovision as the Technical Services Provider.
OBS will provide the live radio and television coverage of all events taking place in the venue for the
125th IOC Session. The complete list of these events provided Live can be found later in this Broadcaster
Questionnaire.
The International Broadcast Centre for the IOC Session will be located outside the hotel in a temporary
facility located at Parque Mujeres Argentinas, 150m from the Hilton Buenos Aries. The IBC will offer
space for broadcasters (bookable through Broadcast Rate Card Part A), as well as be the location of the
Master Control Room (MCR).
Standard coverage for the IBC Session will be in HD 1080i 50Hz, the Argentinean standard, with other
formats available upon request.
Multilateral Signals Distribution
The IOC Host Signal will consist of two simultaneous video signals, plus one audio channel (PA), plus
one translation per signal (B.1.1.1). The City presentations and the City media conferences may overlap
and thus the need for two simultaneous video signals.
The radio international signal will include one audio channel (PA) and a single translation per signal
defined by the RHB (B.1.1.3).
The various multilateral signals outlined will be terminated in the broadcasters´ space in the IBC.
IP feed for video streaming can be provided upon request.
