The EBU takes part in the Horizon 20202 project 5G-RECORDS, alongside Ericsson, BBC, TV2 Denmark, Rai, and a number of other partners. 5G RECORDS explores the feasibility of live media production over a 5G network, with the aim to bring new opportunities for producing TV shows or news coverage wirelessly and remotely, or in situations that require using as few cables as possible.
A 5G Broadcast signal transmitted the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 in high quality from sites in 4 European cities simultaneously.

Spain’s RTVE has been testing a pioneering solution that combines video analytics and AI to automate the complex and time-consuming task of quality monitoring. Javier Sánchez Pérez tells the story.
