Need an inexpensive, portable, outside broadcast set up?
Our bespoke fitted van can accommodate our outside broadcast multi-cam systems, providing an easy and affordable solution for sporting events, music festivals etc.
Our staffed Mini Outside Broadcast set-up, utilises Telecast Copperhead systems with lightweight but highly reliable optical fibre cabling. This system can facilitate 8 channels as standard but can expand up to to 12 camera channels.
The fibre cable system can carry audio, 4k video, comms, tally, camera control* and return video* on a single cable, greatly speeding up OB set up time.
Available for indoor events or housed in our bespoke fitted vehicle for outdoor events, our Mini-OB kit can handle full HD recording on all channels, with comprehensive remote camera control via Sony RCP1500 control panels.
The production box features:
- Panasonic AV-HS400A Vision Mixer
- Ki-Pro Rack for external recording
- Copperhead Base Station
- Tally & comms distribution
The Engineering box features:
- RCP1500 camera control units
- 17″ Grade 1 monitor
- Scopes
The optical cabling can handle signals over a range of anything up to 10km – much further than traditional copper cabling, making this an ideal system for live music and sporting events.
