Aiming at the timing and striking again, SMT UHD S1 was renovated and debuted in May this year. As the nations first 4k broadcasting system with a full-IP 2110 architecture, it once again built its own multi-dimensional advantages:

At the same time, it will also play an important role in promoting the development of the entire IP technology industry and 4K production industry.

Super Ecology Detonates IP

As a new generation of OB van that is compatible with the cloud technology, SMT UHD S1 will have a brand-new mission in addition to traditional broadcast tasks. As a huge attention harvester, the scene will truly step into the era of streaming media broadcasting, build a brand new 5G ecology platform, and realize the core theory of one truck one ecology.

Create IP with IP

SMT has accumulated rich experience and advantages after years of hard work on various projects. The SMT OB vans continue to customize the transformation, through the concept of spatial reconstruction and collaborative production to fully meet the needs of various users. Hundreds completion of high-quality projects have witnessed the continuous improvement of the brand. The business covers multiple fields of pre-production such as traditional broadcasting, three-dimensional sound production, lightweight production, special equipment and technical production.
