As part of this conversion process, Broadcast Solutions GmbH has been commissioned to build the new BR F 2 OB Van. The OB truck specialist from Bingen delivered the 8-camera van to the customer at the end of 2014. The BR F 2 has since then been used in various productions, including the ski jumping World Cup in Lillehammer, the 4-Hills Tournament in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, the G7 Summit 2015 (at the press centre in Garmisch-Partenkirchen), the Queens visit to Berlin, and productions for the famous Waldb hne in Berlin (in 5.1. Audio).
The BR F 2 with its five comfortably sized areas provides enough space, to even manage large productions in a relaxed way. The areas in detail: production, slow motion, VTR / slow motion, vision control, Sound / Intercom. All hardware to be controlled is located at the rear of the trailer in centralized equipment racks.
Built as a trailer-based OB Van, BR F 2 can be operated with up to 12 cameras. Ex-factory the vehicle is equipped with 8 Sony HDC-1400 cameras, including Fujinon lenses. In the Production Area, a Sony MVS-7000X is used. The monitor wall is equipped with Sony PVM and VTS TFTs. The monitor wall in turn is controlled by an Evertz multiviewer system VIPX-6867. As router an Evertz EQX 576x576 is used. For the areas slomo resp. VTR/slomo a range of 3 EVS XT3 systems are running.
Digital Glue Equipment consists of, among others, of Lynx 5000 and Lawo V__pro 8. In the Vision Control area Tektronix SPG-8000 and WFM-5250 devices are in use.
Vision Mixer
