Broadcast Solutions delivers new HD OBVan to German public Broadcaster BR posted: 04/09/2015
Starting in 2010, German public broadcaster Bayerischer Rundfunk has started the modernization of its infrastructure from SD to HD. 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
The spacious audio area in BR F 2 provides a Lawo mc266 mixing console including a Lawo core with Dalli frames that can handle up to 512 channels summarized. As Intercom Solution Broadcast Solutions and Bayerischer Rundfunk rely on a Riedel Artist system (128 x 128) with wireless talkback by Motorola.
The complete control within the OB Van is realized using the VSM system from L-S-B Broadcast Technologies.
Sound Area
