The SPORTS MOBILE STUDIO has been designed for a customer who live footage of motor racing, the configuration has been agreed in accordance with its needs, but may be modified in order to achieve your ideal configuration.
We describe this version that uses 2 of the NewTek TriCaster, a 860 with 8 inputs used as main video director, dedicated to filming and sending the signal via cable or satellite and a 460 with 4 inputs dedicated to the management of transmission and streaming on the web on social networks, also having a double TriCaster in the case of failure of one can be used as an alternative the other.
We recommend for sporting events that require even the slow motion (eg. football matches) instead of a TriCaster 460 a Tricaster 4800 that has the function of moviola with 4 slow motion.
In SPORTS MOBILE STUDIO are installed:
- 2 Smart Video HUB 16x16 video matrix of Blackmagic Design (located on the left side). They take as input the video from all cameras involved in the shootings and send them to all 2 TriCaster, if there are problems while you are on air, via the matrix can immediately switch all cameras from a TriCaster to another.
- 2 ATEM Studio Converter 2 Blackmagic Design, to connect via optic fiber up to 8 cameras SDI or HDMI (4 + 4) , which can be positioned up to 45 km away, in the 2 apparatuses is also built-in a talkback intercom for communication between cameramen and director. The apparatus is placed in the middle of SPORTS MOBILE STUDIO.
- 1 equalized analog video distributor (1x20 Kramer VM-1021) that is connected to a Beta recorder (located on the right side).
- 1 audio mixer (Mixer Audio Ultrazone ZMX8210 - Behringer).
- 1 solid state memory (SSD) recorder: HyperDeck Studio 2 (Blackmagic Design) to make a backup of the video of the race can put at the disposal of the judges in the case of infringements or accidents. The judges have another HyperDeck Studio on which to place the SSD to review the movie in another room.
- 1 Open Gear rack frame by Blackmagic Design with 20 slot that accommodates various cards with different functions between them (located in the lower part of the direction). In this configuration, the first card is a distributor and clock reference to synchronize the two Blackmagic Matrix and the two TriCaster to have them in phase in case of a sudden exchange from one to the other TriCaster. The second card is a converter SDI / Analog to use a tape recorder in Beta format. The third is a conversion card Analog / SDI in order to use the reportage that are supplied in the Beta Standard. The fourth card is the UpDownCross which is a signal converter from SDI HD to SDI SD and vice versa and from PAL to NTSC and vice versa.
- Conversion video formats from SD to HD, Conversions Up / down / cross, NTSC / PAL outputs, converts 720p to 1080i or vice versa, Auto SD / HD Switching, Low jitter SDI.
- The sound diffusion is performed using 2 speakers Bose (Companion 2 Series 3).
- 2 big TV/monitor (32" LED Samsung UE32F5000) are matched to the TriCaster 860 while the third monitor, the smallest, (Monitor 20" Fujitsu BV20T-6) with articulated arm is matched to the TriCaster 460, In the event of failure of the TriCaster 860, using a HDMI switch (located in the central part of the director), you can connect the 2 big monitors to TriCaster 460.
The big monitor on the left is used as the multiview TriCaster 860 and via the switch, you can connect it directly to the TriCaster 460 also.
On the back there are 2 LED lamps to illuminate the area of the connectors and the equipment for power distribution.

Blackmagic Design Studio Converter 2
The Blackmagic Design Studio Converter 2 inputs SDI video signals transmitted over optical fiber and converts the signals to SDI for use with video switchers. When used in conjunction with the Blackmagic Design ATEM Camera Converter, you can send video signals up to 28 miles between camera and switcher using available optical fiber cables. By comparison sending an HD-SDI signal over traditional copper cable is usually limited to about 300 feet, depending on the quality of the cable.
A typical set up using the Studio Converter 2 is to connect it between the switcher and up to four ATEM Camera Converter units. This set up allows the Converter 2 to receive the signals from the fiber cable, convert the signals to SDI using 10-bit processing, and send the signals to the switcher. The Converter 2 supports SD/HD signals, and when using the available ATEM Camera Converter you can use any camera with an SDI/HDMI output.
The converter 2 can also be used as 4 independent simultaneous bi-directional SD/HD-SDI to optical converters. The converter 2 features a built-in mic input, speaker and headphone jack that provides talkback audio for communicating with camera operators. The Converter 2 passes tally signals embedded in the SDI program stream. You can cascade multiple ATEM Studio Converter 2 units together when using more than 4 cameras. The Studio Converter 2 features a 1RU design with built in rack mount ears for easy integration into existing studio configurations or production cases.
Optical Fiber Connectors
The ATEM Studio Converter 2 uses standard single mode optical fiber cable with standard LC connectors to allow you to transmit SD and HD video signals up to 28 miles away. Standard copper wire SDI cables have a limit of several hundred feet before the signal breaks up, converting the SDI signal to optical, and sending it along optical cable greatly increases the distance of your cable runs.
Talkback and Tally
The unit features a built-in speaker and mic inputs, as well as a headphone jack for when you need privacy, or the area is too loud. When connected to the ATEM Camera Converter, you can talk to your camera operators no matter how far away they are, without needing to worry about walkie talkies. Using the talkback feature, the unit uses audio channels 15 and 16 of the SDI stream for talkback communication.
Camera operators can be selected individually if desired, and communication can be controlled by a push button, or locked open. Mute and un-mute buttons on the front of the unit allows you to control who hears what.
The unit passes SDI Tally signal information back to the cameras along with any SDI Program signal from available switchers.
Multiple Units
Each ATEM Studio Converter 2 connects to up to four ATEM Camera Converter units, allowing you to communicate with up to four camera operators at a time. Multiple Studio Converter 2 units can be cascaded together when more than 4 cameras are needed.
Precision Signal Processing
The unit features chips that use 10-bit processing, and are switchable between SD and HD, for a clean signal.
The unit features four independent simultaneous SDI to optical and optical to SDI converters
When used in conjunction with the ATEM Camera Converter the unit can also be used as four independent SDI or Fiber to HDMI converters.

The Blackmagic Design HyperDeck Studio 2 is a file-based deck that features the same functionality and control of professional tape decks. It records uncompressed video with 4:2:2 color sampling at 10-bit in Quicktime format, and also records video using either ProRes or DNxHD codecs. With two SSD slots, you can record almost endlessly as one SSD becomes full, recording automatically continues on to the other. The HyperDeck Studio features one 3G-SDI input and three SD/HD/3G-SDI outputs plus a loopthrough output, and one HDMI input and one HDMI output. All outputs, except the loopthrough SDI, are always active, so playback is available on both the SDI and HDMI outputs no matter what input it was recorded from.
The Studio 2 is a 1RU rack mountable unit, with built-in rack mount ears. It features illuminated front panel button control and a jog/shuttle wheel for analog scrubbing. RS-422 control is supported for external control. You can also control the unit using either the USB port or over Ethernet via the RJ45 connector. An integrated LCD on the front panel allows you to monitor the video, and display timecode and transport information.
The HypeDeck Studio 2 records to uncompressed Quicktime at 10-bit with 4:2:2 color sampling. It also records to ProRes 422(HQ), Avid DNxHD and Avid DNxHD MXF
Two SSD Bays
The unit incorporates two 2.5" SSD slots that allow you to record almost endlessly as recording seamlessly switches from one SSD to the other as the first one fills up.
Video Signals
The HyperDeck Studio 2 features separate dedicated input & output connectors, and supports SD/HD signals over SDI and HDMI. In addition to NTSC and PAL signals, 720 x 480p and 720 x 576p signals are only supported over HDMI.
The HyperDeck Studio 2 features VTR style front panel controls for record and playback. With illuminated buttons, for working in dim locations or settings, while a built-in jog/shuttle wheel provides analog style control over your playback.
Outputs
- The HyperDeck Studio 2 features one HDMI, two SDI, and one SDI monitor out which are always active, no matter what the original input signal is. The exception is with 480p & 576p signals over HDMI, these signals will only play back over the HDMI output.
- The unit also features a loopthrough SDI output that only passes the signal from the SDI input, and does not output recorded video from the SSDs.
Remote
The unit is controllable via RS-422 control and over the Ethernet or USB port.
Built-In LCD Monitor
The unit's front panel also features a built-in LCD screen that allows you to monitor input or playback video as well as timecode, format, and audio levels
SDI Connectors
The unit's SDI connectors are 3G capable, but currently the unit only supports HD video up to 1.5Gb/s (HD-SDI).
