Apantac multiviewers for Euromedia OB van

One of Europe’s leading outside broadcast contractors, Euromedia, has equipped its OB Van 740 with Apantac TAHOMA-LE high-definition multiviewers and MT HOOD DVI receivers.

One of Europe’s leading outside broadcast contractors, Euromedia, has equipped its OB Van 740 with Apantac TAHOMA-LE high-definition multiviewers and MT HOOD DVI receivers. Project sales, installation and support were handled by Apantac’s French dealer, Magic Hour.

In total, ten high-definition TAHOMA-LE multiviewers are being used with slim high-resolution LCD displays to replace CRT monitor stacks and enable visual monitoring of HD video and audio signals throughout the vans’ four operational areas. Three TAHOMA-LE-32HD Multiviewers are used for the OB van’s production switcher/director monitor wall; one TAHOMA-LE-20HD and one TAHOMA-LE-32HD are used for the five Camera Control positions and technical monitoring; two TAHOMA-LE-16HD are used for the four VTR control positions; one TAHOMA-LE-28HD and one TAHOMA-LE-32HD are used for the six Slo-Mo control, producer and production assistant positions; and one TAHOMA-LE-4HD is used in the audio room.

The TAHOMA-LE HD Multiviewers have been integrated with the existing equipment in Euromedia’s OB 740, including on-board Grass Valley LDK-8000 HD cameras, an XTEN HD Production Switcher, a Snell 180×216 HD/SD-SDI Routing Matrix, and EVS XT2+ Slo-Mo Servers. All the naming and tally management is handled by a TSL TallyMan TM2 Plus. The TAHOMA-LE HD Multiviewers drive six Penta 47” displays, eleven EIZO S2100 21” displays, and eight EIZO SX2262W 22” displays.

The technical team for OB 740 is able to configure and control their Multiviewer system from a single GUI using the Apantac Director Software.

The TAHOMA platform incorporates a built-in Cat 5/6 extender, and coupled with the MT HOOD DVI-1-LR active long-distance receivers, the outputs of the Multiviewers can be extended up to 35 meters (115 feet) away.

“Apantac is our Multiviewer of choice for OB 740 due to its modular design, no single point of failure and a high level of redundancy,” commented Julien Schneider, Technical Manager for Euromedia. “We reviewed several manufacturers’ offerings, and Apantac provided us with the largest choice of inputs / outputs per chassis, which offers us great flexibility in our monitoring applications. Ultimately, they provided us with the optimum multi-image display processing solution for our needs.”

The new OB van will be used throughout Europe for the upcoming Italian Football League production, as well as a variety of studio support applications.
