Executive Summary

ANALYST: COI RESEARCH

To provide the most immersive broadcast angle in sports, the organization mandated the use of a micro-camera embedded in the protective foam of the driver's helmet. Weighing only 2.5 grams, the camera transmits high-definition video via the car's existing telemetry loom, giving viewers a true 'eye-level' perspective of the race.

rate_review Analyst Verdict

"A triumph of miniaturization. While typical broadcast cameras are bulky, this integration required adherence to strict FIA safety homologation (no solid objects inside the helmet). It significantly enhanced the 'speed sensation' for TV viewers."

warning The Challenge

On-board cameras were traditionally mounted on the roll hoop, providing a stable but detached view. Fans wanted to see what the driver sees (steering wheel inputs, vibrations, dirty visors), but safety rules strictly prohibit modifying the helmet structure.

psychology The Solution

The provider developed a camera module smaller than a coin (8mm diameter). It connects to the car's radio system. The position aligns perfectly with the driver's eye line. The tech was made mandatory for all drivers in 2023.
