18-cam OB VAN with two expansions for Estonian Public Broadcaster / ERR

According ERR requirements, the OB Van can operate either with one or two expanded sides. This flexibility allows to work with OB Van in a relatively narrow spaces when needed.

 

One full size expandable side adds an additional 1.6 m width to the body and creates a spacious working area. This expansion also creates a corridor for direct access to each area and provides a wide passage between two exterior doors. Second expansion adds 0.65 m distance between main production crew and video wall. In the scenario where 2nd expansion is not expanded, the motorized main production desk can be pulled out from the video wall for an additional 400 mm. The production desk can be stopped at any desired point from 0 to 400mm.

 

One more feature that TVC is proud of - an improved fully electric side expansion and self-levelling system, which takes much less time to deploy than previous versions. Over time fully electric side expansion and self-levelling system has proven to be very convenient and easy to maintain for users.

Power, HVAC, lighting, and control systems were individually designed based on Estonian climatic conditions, installed equipment and number of workplaces.
