Take a look at how Dancing On Ice returned to TV screens during the pandemic
The Collectv has revealed its work on the live broadcasts of Dancing On Ice latest series, which is being filmed mid-pandemic.
The show returned to screens on ITV last Sunday, 17 January. It is filmed at Bovingdon Airfield, and is remotely produced at ITN Productions. The Collectv provides media management, integration, and support on location at Bovingdon, making sure material gets to the main broadcast OB, and to the production team in London for social media clips, VTs, etc.
The Collectv provides an Avid station on location for ingest, QC, and rapid editing in case of changes during the live broadcast. In addition, there is Avid Nexis storage for handling VTs from the edits and to stream onto when the show is on air. This is linked in turn to multiple EVS units running IPDirector and XTAccess provided by host Outside Broadcast provider Telegenic. Connectiv
