The Czech Republic Reckord Outside Broadcasting installed a range of Apantac's Mi-16 Multiviewers and openGear video quad-splits for its new REC7 4K OB van. Apantac, provider of cost-effective multiviewers, video walls, extenders, and signal processing solutions delivered a multiviewer infrastructure including two Mi-16# (pronounced sharp) Multiviewers, and 20 sets of OG-MiniQ multiviewer / quad-split cards used with the openGear platform.

Founded in 1996, Reckord Outside Broadcasting offers full production services for live broadcast and recording, TV program production, advertisements and post-production. Systems Integrator, Smart Informatics, was Reckord's and Apantac's partner in this project, assisting Reckord with provisioning of equipment, certain services, as well as equipment installation.

Both the Mi-16# multiviewers and OG-MiniQ quad-splits will feed NEC, BON and EIZO high quality displays to visually monitor 3G/HD-SDI signals in the main & secondary production, and slo-mo replay areas of the REC7 OB van.

Apantac brought its new Mi-16 series of multiviewers to market by using its award-winning TAHOMA platform and tailoring it to more budget-sensitive applications, yet still keeping it fully featured. The Mi-16# is a 16x2 dual output multiviewer with 16x 3G/HD/SD-SDI inputs. Each of the 16 inputs can be resized, duplicated and assigned to one or both of its outputs.

Apantac's OG-MiniQ video Quad-Split cards for the openGear platform each offer support for 4x auto-detect 3G/HD/SD-SDI, PAL/NTSC inputs in the openGear 3.0 card-based form factor. They can be cascaded together, to allow displaying more than four sources on monitors. Up to 40 inputs / windows can be monitored by a single two RU openGear frame.

Reckord's 4K OB Van will be used around Europe to support the remote production of sporting events, entertainment, music and other large-scale live events throughout the region. After its debut at IBC 2016 in the outdoor exhibitor's area, REC7 4K will go on the road starting November, 2016.

We have enjoyed a long-term relationship with Apantac, and their price, performance and reliability is and has been a great motivating factor for us as it helps us stay on budget, comments Robert Kallista, Managing Director of Reckord. Apantac's solutions provide us with a user-friendly feature-set that helps us to deliver high quality content with complete confidence.
