Red TX Upgrades Red I OB
Harman Studer Capability
P

remier location recording
company, Red TX has upgraded
its original Red I OB to give it 96kHz
capability.
Both Red I and Red II are equipped
with Harman Studer Vista 8
consoles, with 96 mic amp capacity
as standard; but by streamlining
their original recording truck, with
a new Studer SCore Live engine
and faster computer, the facility is
able to maintain its high proﬁle live
event, ﬁlm and television recording
facilities at the cutting edge.
Chief Engineer, Ollie Nesham
says the move was largely driven
by customer demand and that
both vehicles - while slightly
different in wheelbase - are similarly
conﬁgured and are now virtually
interchangeable. "We were getting
more call for projects in 96K.
"Every few years there is a call
for a greater number of inputs. Ten
years ago we could get everything,

20

including audience mics, into 56
tracks; today there can be 100 mic
amps and considerations such as
5.1 stems, Studer VistaMix etc, -
and the desk couldn't handle it, so
we decided to act."
"Although we are largely self-

sufficient Studer are brilliant
at support - they upgraded
the computer in the desk and
provided a new Core."
Other than the overdub area (ﬁtted
on Red II) the two trucks are now
operationally identical.

ZEPLAY Replay Solution For Utah Jazz

Quicklink BGAN
HDR Integration

ZEPLAY slo-mo instant replay
solution to trigger multiple angles
of game action at the team's Energy
Solutions Arena.
"Game day entertainment is
very important to Jazz fans, and
seeing instant replays of key game
moments is one of their biggest
demands," said Shawn Brown,
Director of Video Productions for
the Utah Jazz.
"While ZEPLAY is recording eight
angles of game action (four in,
four out), the operator can select
and output multiple angles of any
replay in just seven frames to
accelerate playback.
"Within a second or two following a

key play, our ZEPLAY operator can
queue and run a multi-angle replay,"
explained Brown. "That's how fast
and easy it is to do."
ZEPLAY is used during home
games as well as other sporting
events taking place at the venue
on giant YESCO LED display boards
inside the arena bowl.
Major advertisers sponsor the
replays for a particular quarter
during home games, making
ZEPLAY's playback reliability crucial.
In the control room production
workﬂow, ZEPLAY interoperates
with Ross switching, graphics
and branding systems to display
advertiser's logos.
