On January 14, 2020, for the first U.S. Democratic debate of the year held on Drake University campus in Des Moines, Iowa, CNN deployed an Elistair tethered drone system<\/span><\/a> with the support of Vector Solutions, product reseller and tether expert, to provide persistent aerial video transmission of the area.<\/p>\n Every four years, the Presidential Candidate debates attracts tens of millions of viewers (69 million on average in 2016). As an important political event, it is the most watched television program in the\u00a0United States after the Super Bowl. On January 14th and 15th, the live broadcast of the first debate of the year attracted 7.3 million viewers.<\/p>\n The use of UAVs has become essential for these media organizations who want to offer aerial images to complement ground shots. The benefits of Elistair Ligh-T tethered station lie in the unlimited flight time it provides to UAVs, and its compatibility with most drones on the market. Users of the tether can now broadcast a continuous stream of aerial images to their viewers, without the need to land to change the batteries.<\/p>\n During the Democratic debate on 14-15 January, CNN Air flew its DJI M210 tethered to the<\/strong> Ligh-T<\/span><\/a><\/strong> at a height of 60 meters for 8 hours<\/strong> on the first day and 5 hours the second day. The images were instantly fed to the control vehicle and then live transmitted via a 4G link to the production team. The UAV section were able to easily relocate and transmit each event<\/strong> of interest for live broadcast on the channel as the day progressed thanks to the flexibility of the system.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_testimonial author=”Howe Hildebrand” job_title=”Vector Solutions Pilot” portrait_url=”https:\/\/elistair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/logo-vector-aerial.png” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” body_text_color=”#1E1E1E” body_font_size=”20px” author_font=”||||||||” author_text_color=”#1E1E1E” author_font_size=”18px” position_text_color=”#000000″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n This solution provides excellent results for any venue that requires constant, uninterrupted over-watch.
