TECHNICAL APPENDIX COMMUNICATION

1 INTRODUCTION

The Fundació per la Navegació Oceànica de Barcelona (FNOB) wishes to make of the Barcelona World Race a reference event offering competitors and their sponsors the maximum visibility possible thus achieving return from the investment made. For such purpose it is essential to receive multimedia material regularly, enabling the Organizer to produce quality contents for sponsors, media and public in general. Therefore it is vital to receive the multimedia material produced on-board. In views of this need, FNOB has conceived a system optimized for video/audio/images/data/calls reception, as well for the tracking of all participating boats during the 24 hours of the day. This optimized system, including software and protocols, will be the one used during the third edition of the Barcelona World Race.

2 TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS ANTENNA SYSTEM All participating boats must have a minimum of two antennas for satellite communication on-board. • 1 iridium open port antenna • 1 Inmarsat antenna( fleet broadband 250 or superior)

3 CAMERA SYSTEM System formed by a set of cameras with cables all of the connected to a switch that enables selecting the camera and audio source during the live connection or in a recording. HD 16:9 cameras are compatible. System description:

• 1 wired cameras on deck (number recommended 2) • 1 camera on chart table • Microphone outdoor sound • 1 Headphones / wireless microphone system that enables speaking from the deck • Recording system in tape or memory Card.

Note: the chosen support must be launched through a container or waterproof bag at the points established by the Organizer.

• Switch selection audio/video sources with output port FIREWIRE (for video) and LINE OUT (for audio).

• Portable HD camera Cameras installed on deck can be located upon the participant’s discretion. The camera system must be connected to a switch type system (hardware or software) that enables switching between any of the cameras during recording/video conference / live video. This commuter must be equipped with a FIREWIRE output (for video) and LINE OUT (for audio) to connect with the authorised videoconference system called ‘Spontania” The video camera format accepted:

• HD 16:9 Additionally, all boats must carry on-board a portable HD waterproof camera to film images

NOTICE OF RACE 51

4 IMAGES AND VIDEO SENDING SYSTEM FTP, Livewire y Clipway systems are compatible to send images and videos to the Organizer. (FTP is the recommended system) Videos in HD 16:9 format are accepted, encoded in H264 and 4Mbs of compression. If the Clipway system is used the Organizer cannot guarantee the final quality of the videos nor the time required for their publication. Images must always be in HD format. The specifications will be included in another Appendix “PHOTO”. 5 VIDEOCONFERENCE SYSTEM The Barcelona World Race will have a videoconference system enabling multipoint video calls. This free use system, is the same videoconference system used in the second edition of the Barcelona World Race. The system chosen for such purpose is ‘Spontania’ and it will be free use for all participants. This videoconference system is not software; it is a light plug-in under 2MB. Installed on compatible computers, it allows the participating boat to communicate in real time through video call to obtain optimum communication – as long as there is satellite coverage – adapting in real time the video and audio quality. Such system, which installation and use are required for videoconferences with the organisation and the medical centre Teknon, does not prevent competitors to use other software to communicate with other means (TV channels, sponsors…) Should a proved failure of this system happen on-board and as back-up solution the Organizer can receive Videoconferences via Clipway o Livewire o Skype. Installation requirements In the case of the Organizer provides the software “spontania”, this one establishes requirements for the computer in which the software will be installed:

• The boat must have 2 computers for different uses: (sailing / multimedia) in fact, the ‘Spontania’ videoconference system cannot be installed in the sailing computer. It must be installed in a computer for exclusive multimedia purposes although it is understood that it could act as replacement in case failure of the first one.

• The computer in which the ‘Spontania’ system will be installed must : ◦ have windows XP / Vista / Windows 7 ◦ Be connected to the boat’s camera system ◦ Be connected to the boat’s satellite connection ◦ be ATOM or superior with minimum 1 GIGA Ram memory reserved for ‘Spontania’ software

The installation of Spontania software must be:

• made by the boat’s appointed technical delegate • validated by the Organizer (see section INSTALLATION AND VALIDATION DEADLINES) • Reviewed again before the start from Barcelona

TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS The videoconference system requires a minimum non-shared 128Kbps upload.

NOTICE OF RACE 52

INSTALLATION AND VALIDATION DEADLINES The Organizer will supply the software to teams no later than 05 October 2014 It will be necessary to:

• Validate the correct installation • Undergo a test period with the Organizer (TO BE FIXED) • Review the connectivity (between 18 and 24 December 2014)
