Event communications are not always straightforward and from time to time NSR are given a challenge that means thinking outside the box!
One such challenge came from Limelight Sports when they asked NSR to provide them with a translation system for Nike Most Wanted, which was held at St George’s Park, the home of England football, and welcomed visitors and undiscovered football talent from all over the world.
The commentary on the day was in English but with visitors from non-English speaking countries in attendance there was a need for seven translators to translate the live commentary as it happened throughout the day. A challenge but not an insurmountable one for NSR!
The NSR team supplied and set-up a wireless radio system with seven separate frequencies providing each of the translators with a wireless radio mic and an individual frequency for each foreign language. They then translated the commentary as it happened through the wireless network to those non-English speaking visitors equipped with a wireless receiver connected to that frequency.
NSR’s resourceful thinking proved to be a success and the commentary on the day was broadcast without incident to both English and non-English speaking visitors, ensuring an exciting day for everyone. So, if you have an unusual communications requirement for your event make sure you speak to the team at NSR, they are sure to find a solution for you.
