The project team of RTV-RTC has carried out the installation of a new outside broadcast (OB) van for Russian broadcaster, VGTRK at its Samara base, featuring a HARMAN Studer Vista 1 all-in-one console.

This 12-camera van was commissioned in September this year with the audio and intercom design masterminded by RTV-RTC s Alexander Yankovsky.

The Studer system comprises a 32-fader desk with optical MADI card and Studer Compact Stagebox, with 32 mic/line inputs and 16 line outputs. An Si Compact 16 with optical MADI card, from HARMAN Professional sister company Soundcraft, has been supplied as a backup audio mixer.

RTV-RTC won the tender for the design and construction of the mobile television studio for VGTRK back at the end of 2012. This 10 2 HD camera truck has been designed for all types of OB filming and recording of social and political events, concerts and performance as well as shooting sporting events throughout the Middle Volga region.

We recommended Vista1 to our customer based on the excellent quality of the sound and the inbuilt sound processing, stated Yankovsky. It offers one of the best price/function ratios and this was a very important aspect, as it allowed us to put into practice the customer s requirement, namely, flexible and cost-effective sound for video production possibilities.

The other attraction was the user-friendly and logical Vistonics interface. The work of a sound director in live broadcast can be compared to the work of an aircraft pilot needing to control numerous parameters in real time, and provide a swift override of the process if something goes wrong. Vistonics can handle this easily.

The new OB van will produce two independent television programmes, including live broadcast and is designed to work in HDTV format, with the ability to switch to HD / SD. It has been designed on a two-axle trailer chassis with a total body length of 12.3 metres, with dedicated rooms for audio, video, engineering and computer room / rack room. There are also two external commentator positions with two-way signal delivery via Telecast T-POV receiving and transmission sets.
