System Description:
This OB VAN was specified and assembled in the UK by JVC Professional Europe.
It is equipped with insulation and air-conditioning to endure the hottest of conditions and with air-filtration to withstand all types and intensities of dust. Built on a strong Mercedes chassis and over 10m in length the vehicle is enhanced with hydraulic air ride suspension, making the roughest of terrain a smooth ride whilst also effectively protecting the onboard equipment. There is still space available for further specialist hardware that a client may wish to use.
The equipment list itself is the summation of an exercise in international relations, set up and co-ordinated by Christopher Darnley, Export Sales Manager of JVC Professional Europe. The eight HD cameras, Hitachi model SK-3020, were customized by Hitachi themselves in Japan to provide dual HD output of progressive 720p and interlaced 1080i. The mixer is the fully specified Vision 3 from Ross, Canada. Another significant on-board brand is JVC Professional who have supplied the LCD monitor wall, comprising 20” and 24” DT-VL high definition LCD panels with in-screen UMD area.
