Repeatability of commands
If you have the necessity to create a lot of rooms equipped for television shots, videostreaming and videoconference (ministries, schools, industries, banks, etc…) and you desire your technicians not to waste time, every time, to learn the configuration and the commands of the apparatuses of every different posting (with risk of errors in the moment of the working), you can equip every room with a VP Box.

Moreover, being the equipment always of the same type, the job of training will be simplified.

The particular situations in order to use VP Box, are those in which the equipment video it must travel in airplane, in ship, or with other transported material from thirds party as it happens in the tournee and the road show.

In occasion of shots of world-wide interest (formula 1 gran prix, motorcycling competitions, soccer matches, etc…), to the international TV production control is placed side by side a "dedicated" production control that personalizes the program with images coming from the own television cameras. The VP Box is used also for this scope.

An innovative triple LCD monitor produced by the Elman, composed from two 5.6 inch screens and from one 10 inch screen for a better vision of the images. The monitor is balancing for to improve the visualization angle. When VP Box is introduced in the container for the transport, the triple monitor is closed horizontally.
