Aegis Ufled IR iluminators used by BBC's natural history unit
Ottobrunn, Germany
The Big Cat Live series, broadcast live on BBC One in October 2008, featured live web-casting allowing audiences to watch footage 24-hours a day from the heart of Africa's most famous reserve.
"The film of night time activity was a revelation and it was the infrared illumination, alongside thermal imaging technology that was used to track the animals which helped make this possible," says Ian Crosby, Bosch's product marketing manager. "The Aegis illuminators helped the film crew to capture high quality images under the cover of darkness to a greater extent than previously possible."
The Aegis Illuminators were used by the BBC throughout the filming of the 8 part series, presented by Kate Silverton, Jonathan Scott, Jackson Looseyia and Simon King.
