NEP is building four new outside broadcast (OB) trucks which are to be fitted with rack-mounted ViaLiteHD RF-over-fibre chassis cards.
ViaLite has been commissioned to provide equipment for live coverage of the Commonwealth Games 2018 by host broadcaster NEP Australia.
NEP is building four new outside broadcast (OB) trucks which are to be fitted with rack-mounted ViaLiteHD RF-over-fibre chassis cards. These modules will receive signals from ViaLite Blue2 Links located close to the action.
They will be our smallest trucks as they are being linked to a central production hub via fibre links from the venues. Directing and producing as well as replays will happen back at base, explained Buddhi Fonseka, RF engineer at NEP Australia.
The order consists of one rack mounted ViaLiteHD unit for each of the four trucks, together with 20 Blue2 Links which will be built into portable cases by NEP. For this application, ViaLites Blue2 Links have been configured as dual-transmitters to enable antenna diversity.
ViaLite will be exhibiting next at CABSAT in January 2018.
