'Athens 2004' Olympic Games
 Games of the XXVIII Olympiad

  " As in the daytime there is no star in the sky warmer and brighter than the sun, likewise there is no competition greater than the Olympic Games".
Pindar, Greek lyric poet, 5th century BC

So it is with the technical facilities used to televise major sporting events such as ‘Athens 2004’. For the ‘Games of the XXVIII Olympiad’, Athens Olympic Broadcasting (AOB), and other broadcasters used forty five D-Cam wireless camera systems, in preference to competitive systems, to provide much of the live television coverage of the first Games to be held in Greece for over a century.
From the Opening Ceremony through to the Closing Ceremony, one only needed to look at the frequency plan for the Athens 2004 to see how widespread the use of D-Cam and D-Cam ‘Clip-on’ systems were for the Games. As one broadcaster put it, “They’re everywhere!”

To find out how the forty five D-Cam wireless camera systems were used, read our Special Feature on 'Athens 2004'
