Sky Taps Cameron-Pace Group for 3D Ryder Cup Coverage

LONDON: Sky is working with the Cameron-Pace Group, set up by James Cameron and Vince Pace, to deliver live coverage in 3D from this year’s Ryder Cup.

Starting September 28, Sky 3D will be delivering more than 30 hours of live coverage from the Medinah Country Club in Illinois. The coverage follows on Sky 3D’s biggest-ever summer of sports, which included coverage of the French Open in 3D and 3D broadcasts from the Olympic Games.

“We’re looking forward to working in partnership with Sky to deliver truly outstanding 3D coverage of The Ryder Cup," said Cameron, co-chairman of Cameron-Pace Group (CPG). “Drawing on Cameron-Pace Group‘s global expertise in live 3D sports production, Sky’s coverage will offer 3D viewers an exhilarating perspective on the one of the world’s most popular sporting events.”

John Cassy, the director of Sky 3D, commented: “Building on what’s already been a spectacular summer of sport on Sky 3D – including comprehensive 3D coverage of the Olympic Games—we’re continuing to forge ahead in delivering unique and immersive sporting experiences to our customers.

“3D brings an entirely new perspective to watching golf. It picks out all the changes of height and distance on a golf course and makes them real, enabling 3D viewers to get a real sense of perspective of the undulating greens, sloping fairways and the depth of the galleries. It’s great to be able to mark the second anniversary of Sky 3D with live coverage of one of the biggest events in sport.”
