Large parts of the Thames Valley have been seriously affected by the recent poor weather with houses, shops and roads being left flooded and inaccessible.
The need for Insurers, Environment & Government Agencies plus First Responders to gain on the ground awareness of the extent of the damage and to assess and archive the extent of damage to properties has never been higher.
Using SphereVision Spherical Video Capture systems, we took to the waters around Chertsey to capture test footage of what has proved to be a disaster for many homeowners.
This system is a simple one-button start/stop recording system, with simple stitching software and 360 video viewer application, making presentation of the
Following the well-received first season, BBC Drama ‘Father Brown’ has been viewed in sixteen different countries around the world.
Recorded mainly in the Cotswolds by BBC Birmingham with kit and crew provided by Transmission (TX), Mark Williams reprising his role as the eponymous crime solving Roman Catholic priest. See the TV spot from BBC Midlands Today with behind the scenes footage and interview with Mark Williams.
Jan Lisiecki enlisted the help of TX technology to bring a new digital twist to the orchestration of an updated version of the ‘Bristol Proms’, honouring the original Bristol Proms staged at Bristol Old Vic in the 1840’s.
On Monday 29th July, the 18-year-old piano virtuoso, Jan Lisiecki, found himself surrounded by a host of HD remote-control Bradley PTZ cameras, a virtual reality camera (Microsoft Kinect) and various slow-motion cameras. The whole system provided an incredible visual background that complimented Jan’s masterful renditions of Chopin. The presentation included slow-motion video of the keys being struck, water glasses vibrating and massive wireframe models projected above the piano.
At 9pm on 16th April 2012, television history was made by broadcasting the world’s first 360 degree dual-screen TV/mobile experience simultaneously on television, mobile and iPad. The promotion for The Gadget Show: World Tour broke on television and mobile simultaneously.

Have you ever wondered what happens when a cat leaves through the cat flap and prowls off into the night away from prying eyes?
With additional support from TX and their remote cameras – Horizon have produced an exciting and ground-breaking experiment which takes 50 cats, tagging them with GPS collars and also fitting some with ‘cat-cams’: remote cameras allowing us to see everything from a feline point of view.
“You may have thought you knew your cat, well think again.”
Catch it on BBC2, 9pm on Thursday 13th June.

Fried Chicken Shop: Life in a Day
Last night, Channel 4 broadcast “The Fried Chicken Shop: Life in a Day” in which the shop ‘Roosters Spot’ in Clapham was rigged with several cameras (Cameras and Tech supplied by TX through The Complete Camera Company) to explore the many goings on in a Fried Chicken Shop that’s open 17 hours a day.
Channel 4’s top rated show last night with over 2 million viewers.The Guardian were also impressed in their review
BBC’s new drama steals the limelight with great viewing figures.
TX provided the equipment and crew for the well-received remake of the original TV series ‘Father Brown’, the lead role of the same name is played by Mark Williams (Harry Potter, The Fast Show).
The guardian reported “Williams seems to have grown into the role of the kindly but also hugely worldly cleric with “a penchant for spy novels and crossword puzzles”. (There is a strong supporting cast, the production values are high for a daytime show and it’s all aided by the rather beautiful setting of the Cotswolds).”
Read the full review here. Father Brown was broadcast on BBC one at 2:15pm, you can catch-up with BBC iPlayer.
Following their recent success with “Elephant: Life after Death”, Tigress Productions came to TX for another specialist remote camera system for use in Zambia, recording the life after death of a Hippo.
The challenge was to provide a system, recording 24/7 in high definition with IR lighting and sound, capturing what happens when a Hippo dies in the wild, and monitoring the life that feeds upon it, from large mammals to birds, reptiles and insects.
TX installed a system that included armoured fibre optic links that connected the remote HD PTZ cameras and sound equipment and also controlled the IR lighting. From the Hippo site, near the Luangwa River, the images and controls were relayed to the production camp where the crew are living and working.
Reliability of the system is essential once filming has started, as going out at night to solve technical problems is not an option with crocodiles, hyenas, lions and the vicious honey badger roaming around.
Hippo: The Wild Feast streamed live on Channel 4. Viewers watched as an entire ecological system devoured a hippo carcass. Mark Evans presented daily video highlights of the scavengers and predators that fed on the hippo in the previous 24 hours – Channel 4 at 19:55 from 21st October.
The final 90-minute programme, Hippo: The Wild Feast is scheduled to air on Channel 4 on 7 November at 9pm.
David Bradley CamBalls were out capturing more wildlife, this time in the gardens of Bathampton.
Every night this week, The One Show presenters Mike and Miranda explore the wildlife that can be found in your own back garden, from insects to Deer, with the help of a remote camera system recording 24/7. Tune in to see what they find.
