Client Brief
Racing Victoria, one of Australia’s premier sporting organisations, faced a unique challenge: how to capture and record jockey training sessions from multiple angles simultaneously. The goal was to provide each jockey with clear, detailed footage to review and improve their performance — without the need for a large production crew.
Our Assessment
We closely observed training sessions, which involved three mechanical horses in action at once. This required a system that could:
-
Capture multiple viewpoints simultaneously.
-
Be operated by a single person.
-
Deliver high-quality footage without excessive equipment or cost.
The Solution
Hypervisuals designed an innovative, cost-effective recording system featuring:
-
Ceiling-mounted cameras to capture each jockey’s performance from optimal angles.
-
Simultaneous recording of three training sessions with one operator.
-
DVD production for each jockey, providing multi-angle playback for performance analysis.
-
A dedicated equipment rack housing three DVD recorders, a matrix switcher, and a control system to route video inputs and outputs as required.
The Result
Racing Victoria now benefits from a streamlined, state-of-the-art video system that delivers professional multi-angle coverage with minimal staffing. Jockeys receive detailed visual feedback, coaches can assess performance more effectively, and the club enjoys reduced operational costs without compromising on quality.
