Description

Need an inexpensive, portable, outside broadcast set up?

Our bespoke fitted van can accommodate our outside broadcast multi-cam systems, providing an easy and affordable solution for sporting events, music festivals etc.

Our staffed Mini Outside Broadcast set-up, utilises Telecast Copperhead systems with lightweight but highly reliable optical fibre cabling. This system can facilitate anything up to 8 camera channels.

The fibre cable system can carry audio, 4k video, comms, tally, camera control* and return video* on a single cable, greatly speeding up OB set up time.

Available for indoor events or housed in our bespoke fitted vehicle for outdoor events, our Mini-OB kit can handle full HD recording on up to 8 channels, with comprehensive remote camera control via Sony RCP1500 control panels.

The production box features:

  • Panasonic AV-HS400A Vision Mixer
  • Ki-Pro Rack for external recording
  • Copperhead Base Station
  • Tally & comms distribution

The Engineering box features:

  • RCP1500 camera control units
  • 17″ Grade 1 monitor
  • Scopes

The optical cabling can handle signals over a range of anything up to 10km – much further than traditional copper cabling, making this an ideal system for live music and sporting events.

*Subject to camera compatibility

The CopperHead 3404 fibre transceiver takes the pristine and unrivaled image quality of dual/quad-link 4K cameras and delivers it into a multicamera environment for in-studio or outside broadcast productions. The CopperHead 3404 conveniently distributes all of the signals needed for multicamera 4K production using a single tactical or SMPTE hybrid fibre cable, ensuring robust, trouble-free connectivity on any studio or remote production.
