Monitoring

All cameras, non-camera source, program and auxillary outputs and replay inputs and outputs displayed on truck monitors.

Waveform and Vectorscope monitoring on all camera inputs.

SDI monitor able to be switched via Videohub to monitor video and audio of all inputs and outputs.

[/su_spoiler]
[su_spoiler title=”Power” style=”fancy”]

16A power input with the truck drawing a total of less than 5A so it can be supplied by a conventional domestic 13A supply.

UPS and Powerbrite power monitor integrated in to truck. Honda generator provides power when 13A or 16A mains not available.

[/su_spoiler]

[su_spoiler title=”x” style=”fancy”]

The truck has an integrated self-seeking KU-band broadband satellite connection, a KA-band fly-away broadband satellite connection, 4G connectivity and seven 3G connections spread across all Operators plus the ability to connect to venue Ethernet and WiFi up to a distance of 1km.

LiveU LU70s are used to provide a live feed from the truck by bonding together all available connectivity sources to provide a live point-to-point video feed at up to 720p/1080i resolution.

[/su_spoiler]
[su_spoiler title=”Commentator Support” style=”fancy”] Commentators are provided with Coles lip mics, a program output monitor and talkback comms. Commentators can be located anywhere within the ground.[/su_spoiler]
[su_spoiler title=”Production Comms” style=”fancy”] Production comms is currently integrated in to the fibre optic cabling system and wireless production comms hired in to supplement or replace the wired comms as required. In March, a RTS BTR-240 Wireless Intercom System is planned to be integrated in to the truck’s production comms solution. [/su_spoiler]

[su_spoiler title=”Camera Connectivity / Cabling” style=”fancy”]

Camera and commentator connectivity is provided by a combination of 1km of military-grade tactical deployment single mode fibre optic cable and Blackmagic Design ATEM Camera and Studio Converters.

One fibre run can support two HD camera feeds including embedded audio or an external mic source, two return HD feeds from the truck (ie. Program output to the commentators or a program output monitor to the cameramen) and production comms for two camera positions.

The 1km of fibre is cut in to a combination of lengths from 50m to 200m and weighs a total of 30kg – and takes up the volume of two IATA check-in bags. Since the fibre is so lightweight and talkback is integrated, no rigger or tender vehicle is required.

The BMD ATEM camera converters utilised at the camera locations can be used on their integrated batteries.

[/su_spoiler]
[su_spoiler title=”Cameras” style=”fancy”]

Cameras can be any mix of formats. No power is supplied to the camera positions from the truck so they need to either be powered by battery or to be connected to mains power.

Remote control of broadcast cameras is not supported by the fibre optic system that used to connect cameras.

Tally lights to the camera positions is being investigated but is currently not supported. If supplied, tally would be supplied by a strap-on light and not integrated in to broadcast camera view finders.

Beauty shots are provided by a combination of GoPro Hero2 point of view cameras and steerable Axis HD camera heads that are powered over Ethernet and can be remotely controlled by an iPad or PC.

One wireless camera is supported via a Teradek Cube over its own private WiFi network.
