MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA, NOVEMBER 16, 2022–Fortress Melbourne,Australia’s premiere gamesand entertainment venue, sits at almost 30,000 square feet across two levels and is home to TheAlienware Arena, the largest permanent esports structure in the Southern Hemisphere. Featuring a220-seat retractable grandstand andpermanent stage with 12 top-of-the-line Alienware PC stations forlive LAN events.The Alienware Arena hosts professional and amateur tournaments for a range ofgames thatare streamed online to worldwide audiences. Chris Stewart, Fortress Production &Broadcast Manager, oversees capturing and delivering these engaging livestreams. To give audiences afully immersive experience along with the player reactions, Stewart relieson the CV506 POV CamerafromMarshall Electronics.The cameras were suppliedby Marshall’s localdistributor, Corsair Solutions.“In esports, you often face limitations around space and positioning that you don’t typically encounterwith traditional sports,” says Stewart. “We have all our players on stage, close together, so it is crucialthat the cameras we use can fit within the constraints of the small environment. Additionally, POVcameras are, by their nature, required to be either on top of the desk the player is sitting or rightbeside it, so any gear we use must not interfere with the players’ space. That’s where Marshall and theCV506 come in.”At Fortress Melbourne, every week is different in terms ofgames and tournaments. “Our camerasneed to be flexible in how they can be used. As an example, aside from a typical stage setup, we haveused our Marshall cameras to facilitate a wider, down-the-line shotof the team–where the audienceis given the perspective of the side profile of the team for celebrations and so on. Additionally, we usedfour Marshall CV506 cameras recently in an F1 22 racing competition; we had four racing rigs tocapture the best lap times on a track, and the cameras served as a wayfor the audience in-venue tosee the participants as they raced as well as being fed into our replay system to provide instant replayof players’ reactions as they set new times.”In an environment wherelivestreams are required to display both gameplayand POV cameras side-by-side, it is key that the camera is synchronized to the gameplay as closely as possible. According toStewart, “Many other possible solutions have limitations such as delay on output, limited number ofoutputs and so on, but the Marshall cameras not only offer near-zero latency via SDI output but alsoprovide additional outputs, such as an HDMI feed. This workflow provides exceptional capabilities forthe live environment while also allowing the cameras to be used in a more casual setting with noadditional labor needed for setup.”The CV506 miniature Full-HD camera utilizes a high-performing 2.5-Megapixel sensor to capture crispHD video streams starting at a wide-angle 85° and up to1920x1080p resolution at 60fps. A threadedminiature lens mount offers a wide range of prime and varifocal lens options, all which deliver detailed

The tournament was broadcast both locally andsent to a global channel where itwas redistributed around the world. Our Marshall cameras got a heavy workout for this. Any time ourobservers switched perspectives on who was watching, so did the POV cameras that were positionedin the corner. This allowed the audience to see the face of the player who they were watching onscreen. Once again, the CV506 excelled and was ideal for this application. We love our Marshallcameras.”About Marshall:For over 40 years, Marshall has been a trusted provider ofhigh-quality andreliable video, audio andmultimedia systems for broadcast, pro AV, pro audio, UCC and OEM applications worldwide.
