1.1 Basic Principles

The LOC shall provide the necessary space as is reasonably required for the installation of cameras bythe Host Broadcaster and Broadcast Partners according to the Broadcast Plan that has been developed by

FIBA in consultation with the Broadcast Partners. Please refer to Appendix 1 FIBA Premium StandardProduction Plan.

The exact details of the location of all cameras, studios, presentations and interviews will be discussedand agreed between the LOC, the Host Broadcaster, Broadcast Partners and FIBA mainly on the site

visits and re-confirmed between these parties on the days before the technical rigging and set-up begins.

The movement of any camera positions before the start of the Event will be subject to there being noseat kills for the LOC.

To ensure uniformity of coverage and the high quality production of basketball which is vital for thesport, FIBA will co-operate with the Broadcast Partners to ensure their understanding of the principles.

There will be a FIBA approved Event Broadcast Plan for the Event venues providing guidelines to

optimise the conditions for the Broadcast Partners, while respecting the game itself.

1.2 The Court

Broadcast equipment and personnel shall not be placed in a way that can endanger players and officials.

All cameras (except for the camera located in front of the Scorers Table) shall be a minimum of twometres from the court but, where advertising signage is in position, they must be located behind this

signage.

Only movable, handheld

cameras working for the

Host Broadcaster will be

allowed around the court

and team benches but willonly be permitted on the

court during time-outs andat half time. Broadcast

representatives should makeno approaches to players orcoaches for interviews or

comments during play unlesspreviously agreed with

FIBA. Such approval shallonly be granted inexceptional circumstances.

1.3 The Officials

Broadcast equipment and personnel should not cause any confusion or obstruction to the view or

movement of the game officials, players and coaches.

1.4 The Spectators

1.5 The Players and Coaches

Broadcasters shall respect the needs of the players and coaches. All arrangements for interviews should

be made via the relevant FIBA and/or LOC representative and interviews may only take place outside of

the technical zone in areas that are judged to be safe for all participants. Reporters shall not approach

players or coaches for interviews or comments during play. Only HB microphones shall be present at allteam time outs during the competitions but microphones must not be placed in any position which isobtrusive or may cause a danger to a player and /or coach.

end lines, behind the advertising boards.

The press working areas shall not be disturbed during the game by broadcast commentators or cameras.

Strobe/flash photography will be organized by the LOC Press Officer and positioned (out of camera shot)to reduce interference (maximum of four sets per game).

In adopting these principles FIBA is allowing more flexibility and opportunity for the Broadcasters inorder for them to produce top quality programmes. FIBA expects the Broadcasters to reciprocate byrespectfully accepting these arrangements so that all may benefit in the future.

Any Broadcaster or individual not respecting the above principles at any game will have their access

privileges for the current event, and possibly for future events, withdrawn.

determined by FIBA following discussion at the main site visits between FIBA, the Host Broadcaster andthe LOC prior to the start of the Event. The decision of FIBA at the Event shall be final and binding in

this respect.

Printing

Interfaces to Other Systems

The information service for both on and off-screen graphics shall be available for every game.

The TV graphics are game information data provided by the Event Information System to the Host

Broadcaster as a TV signal. The graphic elements have been designed in harmony with the FIBA

Corporate Identity guidelines and the Event look.

The TV graphic operations require very close collaboration between the operator of the graphic generator

and the TV producer.

It is important to ensure that the information from the Public Information System which includes items

such as the scoreboard(s), the game clock and the 24-second clocks is consistent with the other systems.


15/35

January 2013


For example it is vital that the time on the game clock is the same as the time displayed on the TVgraphics. In order to ensure this, the scouting set-up and personnel must use the time of the game clock

and the 24-second clock, which can be done through an automatic interface with the game clock and the24-second clock but if this is not possible then it must be made manually.

4.1 Languages

The official international language of the FIBA graphics is English.

However, unilateral broadcasters may have the option of receiving a simultaneous graphics feed in their

own language (at an additional cost). If required, this should be requested in advance and the unilateral

broadcaster is required to supply the computer graphics company with the correct terminology in theirown language for all basketball terms used in the graphics.

All computer graphics feeds are produced simultaneously with the English International Feed and cannotbe operated independently.

4.2 On-Screen Credits

Official FIBA Partners in the IT and Timing categories are entitled to on-screen identifications during allof the games. The on-screen identification shall consist of 3 inserts, each of 4 seconds, per quarter for

each partner. For any over-time period the identification shall be one insert of 4 seconds for each partner.

All game feeds provided to rights holding broadcasters shall be dirty feeds including all graphic

information and on-screen credits and should be used without any superimpositions.

4.3 Commentators Information System

The Commentators Information System shall consist of terminals (PCs or TV monitors) connected to the

results and statistics database, which will enable the TV/radio/web commentators to view the live game

statistics from both local and other venues.

4.4 Game Day Procedures

All graphics and feeds shall be available at the time of rigging the television coverage. The Host

Broadcaster will designate an English speaking person to co-ordinate between the relevant parties.

4.5 Standard Technical Set-Up

The final technical specifications must be discussed between the Host Broadcaster and the graphics teamin advance.

The Host Broadcaster is responsible for ensuring the cabling to and from the OB Van and the Graphicsposition and for making sure it is satisfactorily completed.

The Host Broadcaster is also responsible for the cabling between the graphics position and the

commentary positions (to distribute the CIS signal).

5 AUDIO PRODUCTION PLAN

The international audio feed must consist of full international sound with court side effects. Careful

planning must be made to have the microphones near to the court to capture the best quality game and

crowd audio. A direct feed of the Public Announcement System should also be made available.

In addition, the Host Broadcaster should plan to include two boom microphones to be able to capture the

audio from each team bench during the time-outs.

7 INTERNATIONAL DISTRIBUTION

The Host Broadcaster will deliver the signal of the live game and the highlights programme to thetransmission point which may be:

- the International Gateway of the host country (CNCT),

-

a Transportable Earth Station (TES) on site- and a pan-regional satellite, as agreed with FIBA TV.

If FIBA TV decides to install a TES at the stadium, this will be the origin for both the live game

transmission and also the daily highlights transmission. The Host Broadcaster should take this intoaccount when planning the production of the daily highlights.

In order to guarantee the quality of the transmission signals, FIBA TV shall request the Host Broadcaster

to test all uplinks prior to the game.
