NEP Europe Orders Five
UHD OB Vans

A

t this year's IBC Show Broadcast
Solutions GmbH took orders
for five new UHD OB vans from NEP
Europe, one of which is likely to be
Europe's largest.
Four of the OB Vans will be eight to
12 camera vehicles, while the fifth will
be a triple-expanding trailer capable
of handling more than 30 cameras.
The smaller models will be based on
Broadcast Solutions' Streamline Family
concept of pre-configured and nearly
"off-the-shelf" OB vans.
With its Streamline OB vans the
German company changed building an
OB van from a project to a product.
The results are short delivery times
and standardised overall designs,
key for fast setup times during
productions.
The four smaller production vehicles
will either be based on the S8, as
used for HD34K, or the S12 4K, used
for UHD-41. These were recently

developed for NEP Germany and
NEP Switzerland, respectively,
by Broadcast Solutions and are
based on the Streamline Family.
NEP's latest UHD OB van
HD34K works with up to eight
UHD cameras, and goes on air
soon.
NEP Switzerland's UHD-41 has
been on production since July
with Swisscom Teleclub that
produces part of its coverage of Swiss
football in UHD. The UHD-41 OB is a
Broadcast Solutions-built 12-camera
truck - a Streamline S12 with a new
concept, using a new room layout,
but a typical Streamline audio/video
system.
Both trucks have Grass Valley
switchers and use the 2SI (two sample
interleave) Quad Link format of UHD.
For all new OB vans, NEP Europe has
opted for the full 4K approach as Paul

The PT-LP-S5 is a fifth generation
product from Telemetrics' awardwinning engineering team that sets
new benchmarks in detail, quality and
performance.
"Broadcast
and
production

need
robust
and
intelligent robotic systems that

at IBC2016

Services Europe, points out: "We see
4K is starting to develop in Europe,
and now is the time to stop building
normal HD OB Vans."
Stefan Breder, Broadcast Solutions'
CEO, said: "After we have just
delivered six Streamline OB vans (two
as 4K versions) to NEP Europe within
this year, we are very pleased with
NEP's new order. Even more since one
of the five new trucks, which is part
of the order, will be one of Europe's
largest OB vans."

The decision to use the Streamlinebased OB vans results in fast delivery
times and similar overall designs.
As the schedule is demanding, work
on the trucks will start within in the
next few weeks. Timing is paramount
to this project and Broadcast Solutions
is confident to deliver in time.
HD34K only took three months from
order to delivery.
In the last five years Broadcast
Solutions has built more than 20 OB
vans for NEP.
