Recording facilities
The Court will provide feed from the Press Briefing room to the hot-desk area of the Media Centre. The tables in the Media Centre contain plugs for the video and audio feed from the press briefing room (4:3, PAL): BNC video output and XLR audio output. You can record from three possible audio channels: 1 - floor, 2 - French and 3 - English. Each table contains an audio plug. If you need to record on two channels, please use another plug at another table for the second channel.
Please note that, in the Press Briefing room, audio breakout boxes will be available for the language being used (“Floor”), as well as English and French. XLR connections are used for the audio, and the distance from the breakout box to the camera location is approximately 15 meters. The ICC does not have spare cables available for the crews.
Feed for the SNG trucks
SNG trucks can record the signal from Courtroom I from the distribution box placed in the media parking facilities (see below). Please note that there is no power supply available at the car park and that it is therefore necessary to have a generator.
