…newest addition to the company’s fleet of 16 HD-capable outside broadcasting (OB) vehicles. The triple-expander Atlantic is the U.K.’s first fully integrated 1080p 3G-capable OB vehicle, with the ability to produce a full single-path broadcast in 1080p50 or 1080p60. In addition to this state-of-the-art equipment, Atlantic houses eight new EVS XT3 servers wired to support an unprecedented 48 EVS channels, and the truck is also fully capable of producing 16 levels of discrete 5.1 audio.
In addition to its advanced HD production capabilities, Atlantic also features a groundbreaking layout that offers 850 square feet of production space when the truck is fully expanded—the size of a three-bedroom semidetached house. Whereas clients previously required space to park both a full-size expanding VTR scanner and a full-size expanding production unit, both functions can now be combined within Atlantic—an important benefit when space is at a premium. In a break from the standard layout of a traditional OB vehicle, Atlantic is designed to recreate the internal ergonomics and layout of a traditional studio setup, with at least 10 feet of head space in many areas and a fresh, appealing interior appearance.
