A challenging installation to replace half of a floor to a strict deadline.
Half of Studio 1 had a conventional floor and half had a glass floor. The glass floor had limitations and a decision was made to replace this half of the floor with a fully functional studio floor.
With new productions coming to the studio, BT Sport required a studio floor to meet the forth coming camera tracking and loading demands.
