Posted: Mon May 11, 2015 2:01 pmBlackmagic Design today announced a number of Blackmagic Design products were used for live broadcasting and filming of the launch of "HAYABUSA 2", a Japanese asteroid surveying spacecraft. Blackmagic Design products used included ATEM 1M/E Production Studio 4K, HyperDeck Studio Pro, Teranex Express and a number of Mini Converters. This project was promoted by: JVC Kenwood・VideoTec and Japan Cablecast and aired on Channel 4K. Shooting and live streaming was done by Gokuraku Eizo and Video Service.
”HAYABUSA 2,” operated by JAXA, the Japanese space agency and its spacecraft, is a surveying and sample return mission of an asteroid. It recently launched from the Yoshinobu launch complex at Tanegashima Space Center via an H-II A rocket, and its launch was captured Iive by JAXA. "The project was originally to make content for a dome shaped theatre like a planetarium, which JVC Kenwood・VideoTec offered us. Usually, the content for these types of theatre are CG or animation, so we were looking to do something live action," said Kei Nozawa, president and DoP of Gokuraku Eizo, a Japanese production company.
"We decided to shoot in 4K and up convert the footage to 8K for showing in a dome theatre. As we also planned a live broadcast of the launch of HAYABUSA 2, we had to find a switcher which would allow us to switch 4K feeds without any stress. We found the Blackmagic ATEM 1M/E Production Studio 4K, and decided it was the one to use," said Nozawa.
