Samsung Electronics collaborated with the International Olympic Committee (IOC), Olympic Broadcasting Services (OBS), and Olympic partners to install Galaxy S24 Ultra devices on the yachts. This allows viewers to see the athletes' performances during the sailing competitions up close.

The Olympic sailing events began on the 28th of last month (local time) and will continue until the 8th in the southern port city of Marseille. The sailing categories include five types: ▲Skiff ▲Dinghy ▲Multihull ▲Windsurfing ▲Kiteboarding.

For the Skiff, Dinghy, and Multihull categories, the S24 Ultra was installed at optimal filming points according to the yacht type. For Windsurfing and Kiteboarding, where installation on the yacht is difficult, the Galaxy smartphones connected to camera modules attached to the athletes' helmets were mounted on the athletes' shoulders to handle data transmission and reception.

The S24 Ultra used for on-site broadcasting captures clear, high-definition footage even amid strong waves, wind, and high temperatures, thanks to its Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) technology. The recorded competition footage is transmitted in real time via base station boats installed on the sea.
