The regional broadcaster RTV Utrecht expanded their fleet with a new broadcast van for television and radio! Erik Veuger (coordinator broadcasting technique) says: "We were looking together with Triple Audio for a solution to keep the costs low and to get the biggest benefit out of the technical possibilities"
The new reporter van is equipped with all the conveniences like a fully automatic KA-band uplink, a 4G/LTE uplink, COFDM video transmitter, WMT video codec, RF-audio connections and an IP-audio codec. All these utilities make this vehicle completely future-proof.
"With an active attitude and the re-using a big part of the equipment,we succeeded to get more than our moneys worth of a reporter van."
The picture below was send to us by an interested passer-by:
The reporter van is equipped with a fully autonomous power supply, and DC/DC converter, which is needed in order to charge your extra battery in an euro 5/6 vehicle equipped with a smart dynamo. This gives the reporters the possibility to broadcast from even the most remote locations.
The unique designed cargo management system provides plenty of efficient storage and workspace. The additional space that is saved because of this efficiency, can be used to take more promotional materials to the job site. The van is equipped with a stainless steel 304 roof rack to mount the KA-sat dish and the RF antennas. The roof rack is fitted with aluminium tread plate, for instance to walk on and to mount the antenna on top of the pneumatic mast.
The whole reporter van is completed with the fancy new corporate branding of RTV Utrecht, this really makes the van future proof.
