NEP Australia introduces HD12 posted: 30/03/2016
NEP's first 4K super truck to launch in Melbourne
NEP Australia yesterday launched its newest 4K super truck - HD12 - from Melbourne's
Etihad Stadium. HD12 will immediately go to work on this weekend's AFL coverage for the Seven Network and FOX SPORTS.
HD12 is the company's second purpose-built 4K outside broadcast vehicle and the first
to launch from the active Victorian market.
It is equal in size, technical capabilities and work environment to HD11, which NEP
launched in August of last year.
HD11 and HD12 are unmatched by any other mobile production facilities in Australia.
They are equipped with Sony's HDC4300 4K and high-speed camera technology,
bringing to 50 the number of these camera units in NEP's fleet.
Initially based in Melbourne, HD12 will service productions around Australia including
major live sport and outside studio broadcasts.
NEP Australia President Soames Treffry says: HD12 and HD11 reflect NEP's
investment in the Australian market and determination to provide our clients with
unrivalled production capabilities.
HD13 and HD14 will launch early next year, ready for the 2017 AFL and NRL seasons,
and further enhancing the NEP Australia fleet.
NEP Australia Project Director Milan Milenkovic says: While HD12 has all the
capabilities of HD11, our Systems Integration Team has made some additional
refinements.
HD12's enhanced technical power, along with the Sony 4K high speed camera
systems, make HD12 a best of' proposition for both clients and broadcast operators.
