(click on photo to enlarge)

 

The mobile video studio Dual O.B.Box HD was made mainly for shooting sports events, the heart of the system consists of a NewTek TriCaster 455 (can also be mounted a tricaster 855 that instead of having 4 channels video input has 8 input video).

Of course, the Dual O.B.Box HD can be used for all types of shooting television broadcast.

Compared with previous O.B.Box the width of the container is double both because it is mounted a larger number of apparatuses is because the control surface Tricaster - Control Surface 450 CS is more cumbersome than previous and next to the 455 CS, being necessary the use of slow motion, we mounted the TriCaster 850 TW Slow Motion Control.

The prototype of this Mobile Video Studio has been made ​​for a customer who is concerned with the production of sports programs related to the world of motorsport therefore is used in motor racing circuits where the distance between the various cameras that the shooting is remarkable, for this reason, one of the peculiarities of the Dual O.B.Box HD is connect 4 cameras via fiber optic cable (which can be up to 45 km distance) on which they travel the following signals: video, audio, and conversation between director and cameraman / technical (intercom).

With the Dual O.B.Box HD are provided 4 Blackmagic Design ATEM Camera Converter that are battery-powered converters to interface the locations of the cameras to fiber optics.

Using a NewTek TriCaster 855 can also be increased to 8 the number of cameras connected via fiber optics (options to be agreed during the design phase with the client).

Dual O.B.Box HD is equipped with a matrix switcher 16x16 SDI video with embedded audio that can increase the number of video inputs up to 16, therefore considered the 4 channels used for the cameras with optical fiber, 12 inputs are available.

About the audio TriCaster 455 has a built-in mixer with 4 channels of embedded audio Reserved 4 SDI video (for example, 4 cameras), 2-channel audio coming from the LAN, 2 channels from 2 VCR's built-in DDR1 and DDR2, 1 channel dedicated to the internal sounds, 1 channel reserved for internal effects.

Dual OBBox HD is also equipped with a built-in server for the transmission of the program also via streaming on the internet.

Tricaster 455 Product Sheet (pdf, 438kb)

 

The NewTek TriCaster 455 is a 4-camera input, tightly integrated hardware and software solution for streaming video online and producing live events. The TriCaster comes with an appropriate control surface and with two powerful software applications -- a live production software and a character generation and vector graphics software. Altogether the package offers built-in multi-track ISO recording with broadcast, projector, and online output options, completely customizable visuals, powerful 3D effects, video playback, graphics, and transitions, virtual sets and more.
Digital and analog outputs allow streaming to broadcast machines and to live projectors. And very importantly, you can connect to a network by Ethernet and stream videos directly to the web. At the same time, you can store files to internal storage drives or by AUX output also to external drives.
The 455 is a 2RU device designed for mobility. It doesn't require any massive cabling or complex configurations, and you can deliver with it from a van, small studio, broadcast control room, backstage, blogger's workspace or pretty much anywhere else.
