UPGRADE OF OUTSIDE BROADCASTING VAN FOR ALMATY-TV CHANNEL
The project vividly illustrates another specialization of DNK-TV - the modernization and re-equipping of existing Outside Broadcasting Vans (OB Vans) for television channels.
"Almaty-TV" had one OB Van at its disposal, which was used for reporting on urban events, coverage of local sports events, and shooting concerts and festive events in Kazakhstan. One of the key features of the project was the need to not only upgrade the technical equipment of the vehicle but also completely change the layout, arrangement, and finishing of the compartments.
The upgraded OB van is designed for six triaxial camera channels based on Grass Valley Focus 75 cameras. The functionality of the vehicle allows for expansion to ten camera channels.
Program formation is carried out using a 2 M/E video mixer Guramex GVM 2400H with two control panels GVM-1610 and GVM-810.
The use of two control panels enables simultaneous operation with two separate programs.
Given the nature of Almaty-TV's activities, a compact and functional solution was required for working with slow-motion replays. The most optimal solution in terms of price/performance ratio turned out to be the six-channel replay system NewTek 3Play 425, which provides simultaneous display, recording, and playback of four video streams. Communication infrastructure is based on the Riedel Performer system.
If necessary, the OB van's functionality allows for the connection of six additional external sources. Additionally, the OB van is capable of broadcasting signals live via the 4G network using TVU Networks transmission equipment.
The modern technological solutions used in the project enable broadcasting of sporting events and concerts in HD quality.
