Students from Cauthen supervise the transmission of infection in Australia

the Women’s FIFA World Cup By leaps and bounds. The German women’s national team won 6-0 on Monday He won his first World Cup match against Morocco. The technology has to work so that the games can be broadcast seamlessly around the world and the on-site journalists can work properly.

Six media technology students are involved in setting up and supervising broadcast technology in the stadiums Anhalt University of Köten included. They have been on site since the beginning of July, setting up so-called “media tables” in the stadiums, where journalists follow matches, commentate on them, write live broadcasts and disseminate important information.

A certain amount of knowledge and manual skills were necessary to set up the technology, 22-year-old student Lennart Bleil explained in an interview with MDR SACHSEN-ANHALT. “The tables arrived here in individual pieces in ten containers. Then we had to set up about 45 to 50 tables in the stadiums, secure them securely in the stands and set up the signals and cables properly.” Journalists rely on stable internet, working monitors, microphones, phones and other equipment.

Not only did the students participate in setting up the media tables, but they also served as the first point of contact for on-site journalists during the games. They are supposed to answer questions, solve problems that arise and take care of media mentions during the live broadcast. In addition to their academic experience, students were trained in several courses and prepared for broadcasting.

Professor Matthias Schnoll, who teaches at Köthen University and has made it possible for students to work in Australia and New Zealand, is delighted. He said before the World Cup: “This event provides students with a unique opportunity to apply their specialist knowledge in practice and develop further. They will not only gain technical knowledge, but will also develop social skills and learn to work under pressure.”

Lennart Bleil will still be available for some matches in Australia. He looks forward to the tasks ahead. You should always keep calm and make smart decisions in stressful situations. But so far everything has gone smoothly. Belil hopes it stays that way, and is committed to ensuring that people around the world can continue to watch football matches without interruption.
