ESC 2026 1. Semi-Final

Yesterday, the first semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) took place – an evening full of energy, emotion, and outstanding live performances. The Eurovision Song Contest semi-finals are among the most exciting moments of the entire competition, as they determine which countries will qualify for the Grand Final.

From a technical perspective, the first ESC semi-final was also a true highlight of live production. For the visual execution, the setup included two Shotover heads, two 2Sky Camera systems, and two crane systems. In addition, three rail systems were used to enable precise, dynamic, and repeatable camera movements throughout the live broadcast.

Following a successful first semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest, attention is already turning to the next challenge: preparations for the second ESC semi-final on Thursday are already in full swing.
