Prisma OB Takes Golden Route with Pro-Bel Technology
Reading, UK – 14th August 2006: Pro-Bel has announced that Sweden-based outside broadcast services provider Prisma has selected the company’s routing technology to sit at the heart of a brand new HD vehicle. The primary contractor is Sony Professional Services with the order placed through Pro-Bel’s Swedish dealer TAURUS.
The brand new HD truck – HD-1 – has 34 operator seats with a maximum of 30 cameras. It is double expandable and occupies 75 sq metres, benefiting from two separate production control rooms with a true 5:1 mixing area for audio with room for two audio engineers. The monitor wall is fitted with 46” HD LCD screens with a multiview system for full flexibility.
At the heart of the truck sits a Pro-Bel Sirius Gold router, which has been designed to satisfy precisely the requirements of modern, large OB vehicles. The router is equipped 304 x 512, with a mixture of HD and SD providing the operational flexibility that will be central to the truck’s success. The OB unit’s architecture has been designed and specified by a Prisma project team headed by Technical Manager Robert Elfstrand.
Arne Lillevang, Managing Director at TAURUS, says, “This is clearly a major project and one that has taken a great deal of commitment. We are more than pleased that Sirius Gold has been specified and installed.”
Patrick Morel, Pro-Bel Sales Director, adds, “Our success in the OB market continues and the flexibility of our Sirius router family is proven yet again. Sirius Gold has quickly become the standard for this type of application. I am glad that the project team has recognised our achievements with this product.”
