Evertz, the global leader in media and entertainment technology solutions, announces the launch of F&F Production's latest mobile truck which is enabled for native 4K HDR production with a complete Evertz infrastructure solution.

F&F Productions, a leader in mobile event production including major league sports, network series and entertainment specials, live concerts, and large-scale corporate events for Fortune 500 companies has launched GTX-18, its latest mobile event production truck which is outfitted for 4K HDR event production with a comprehensive Evertz solution.

F&F Productions GTX-18 Production Area

GTX-18 was conceived to natively handle 4K HDR production throughout the entire workflow from acquisition to production to distribution. GTX-18 leverages an SDI infrastructure with an Evertz EQX 26 560x1134 SDI router and EMR 192x192 audio router at its core. Evertz' EQX/EMR routing solution was ideal for GTX-18 with their robust, flexible architectures which enable audio and video routing for both HD and 4K HDR productions. In addition, GTX-18 is utilizing Evertz' 7814UDX-4K for Up/Down/Cross conversion tasks, simplifying signal processing and conversion within GTX-18's production environment. Signal distribution around the routing core is handled by Evertz 7812DDA2Q downconverting distribution amplifiers with synchronization and timing managed by Evertz' 5601MSC Master Clock System. The 5601MSC is a fully integrated timing platform that generates all the synchronization signals required in a mobile production facility like GTX-18.

GTX-18 also leverages Evertz' VistaLINK PRO network management system as well as Evertz MAGNUM control and orchestration platform for optimizing operational workflows.

Mobile event production is an extremely demanding environment requiring a reliable and robust infrastructure, said Vice President, Engineering, Bill McKechney. Our Client's requirements necessitated that GTX-18 be enabled with a native 4K HDR end-to end-workflow. Evertz' 4K HDR routing and processing solution exceeded our expectations and enabled us to meet the critical requirements of our Clients. We look forward to working with Evertz on future projects.

F&F Productions is at the forefront of 4K and HDR mobile event production and GTX-18 is one of the industry's most advanced mobile event production trucks with an end-to-end 4K HDR workflow. We were pleased to be able to partner with F&F productions and congratulate them on the launch of GTX-18.
