Grass Valley supplies RecordLab OB van
Grass Valley has announced that it has supplied Germany-based RecordLab, experts in broadcast services, with solutions for its first fully equipped OB van. RecordLab will be working with local Grass Valley partner Wellen+Nöthen from conceptual planning to technical systems integration for their new OB van. Wellen+Nöthen will equip RecordLab with a Karrera Video Production Center switcher with a 2 M/E and 3 M/E control panel, a 3 M/E Trinix NXT Digital Video Routing Switcher in a 256X512 chassis and a LDK 8300 Live Super SloMo Camera for live productions.
“Grass Valley offers a one-stop-shop for live production and enables us to kit out our new OB van from top to bottom with great quality solutions,” says Markus Maschke, RecordLab. “Grass Valley’s experience and expertise in the broadcast market, along with its flexible and future-proofed products, means we can have complete confidence in our new OB van delivering high-quality content.”
At the heart of RecordLab’s OB van is the Karrera Video Production Center with K-Frame, which delivers a new modular approach to production switchers. With an intuitive, easy-to-learn control panel, touchscreen side panel interface and full 3G 1080p50/60 HD support, the lightweight and upgradeable Karrera uses 50% less power than other switchers of its kind.
Trinix NXT with multiviewer incorporates advanced circuit technology and is field-proven in configurations of up to 2,048 inputs or outputs. The solution eliminates the need for secondary external components and connections, providing operators with a reliable 3G multiviewer solution.
The LDK 8300 camera offers a choice of speeds and multiformat support. It switches ebetween 1X, 2X, and 3X speeds as well as between 1080i and 720p formats, making it the perfect camera for live events.
RecordLab already owns a pool of LDK 8000 Elite cameras, allowing it to capture HD images and switch between multiple formats and frame rates. The LDK 8300 perfectly matches the imagery of the LDK 8000 Elite.
In addition, RecordLab will become a premium partner of the Dyno Academy, a joint initiative between Wellen+Nöthen and Grass Valley. The Academy provides precisely-tailored training sessions for replay operators of sports and other live events, as well as technicians.
