San Francisco, Calif., August 01, 2013 Grass Valley has announced that it has supplied Germany-based RecordLab, experts in broadcast services, with solutions for its first fully equipped OB van. RecordLab will be working with local Grass Valley partner Wellen+N then from conceptual planning to technical systems integration for their new OB van. Wellen+N then will equip RecordLab with a Karrera Video Production Center switcher with a 2 M/E and 3 M/E control panel, a 3 M/E Trinix NXT Digital Video Routing Switcher in a 256X512 chassis and a LDK 8300 Live Super SloMo Camera for live productions.

Grass Valley offers a one-stop-shop for live production and enables us to kit out our new OB van from top to bottom with great quality solutions, said Markus Maschke, RecordLab. Grass Valleys experience and expertise in the broadcast market, along with its flexible and future-proofed products, means we can have complete confidence in our new OB van delivering high-quality content.

At the heart of RecordLabs OB van is the Karrera Video Production Center with K-Frame , which delivers a new modular approach to production switchers. With an intuitive, easy-to-learn control panel, touchscreen side panel interface and full 3G 1080p50/60 HD support, the lightweight and upgradeable Karrera uses 50% less power than other switchers of its kind.

Trinix NXT with multiviewer incorporates advanced circuit technology and is field-proven in configurations of up to 2,048 inputs or outputs. The simple yet powerful solution eliminates the need for secondary external components and connections, providing operators with a reliable 3G multiviewer solution.

The LDK 8300 camera offers a choice of speeds and multiformat support. It switches effortlessly between 1X, 2X, and 3X speeds as well as between 1080i and 720p formats, making it the perfect camera for live events.

RecordLab already owns a pool of LDK 8000 Elite cameras, allowing it to capture HD images and switch between multiple formats and frame rates. The LDK 8300 perfectly matches the imagery of the LDK 8000 Elite.

Germany is an important market for Grass Valley and were really excited to be making todays announcement with RecordLab, said Said Bacho, Senior Vice President EMEA, Grass Valley. In todays extremely competitive TV market, its more important than ever to provide viewers with faultless services, and RecordLabs new OB van will allow the company to broadcast first-rate services so that German viewers can enjoy coverage from live events as and when they happen. Also, because the Grass Valley live production solutions are robust and efficient, RecordLab is able to put creativity first and further enhance the TV viewing experience.

In addition, RecordLab will become a premium partner of the Dyno Academy, a joint initiative between Wellen+N then and Grass Valley. The Academy provides precisely-tailored training sessions for replay operators of sports and other live events, as well as technicians, so that they can fully master the K2 Dyno Replay System.
