Hitachi Kokusai Delivers DSNG Vehicle
Turkish broadcaster, FOX TV, has taken delivery of a newly designed, constructed and fitted out digital satellite news gathering (DSNG) vehicle, completed by Hitachi Kokusai Turkey
Designed and built at Hitachi’s new purpose designed facility in Istanbul, Turkey, the project sees extensive reconfiguration of the Ford Transit vehicle including structural coachwork and the installation of PAL’S DriveNews™ PDA-150 1.5m satellite antenna system and Xicom’s XTD-400K high power amplifier (HPA).
This DSNG vehicle provides FOX TV with an uplink facility capable of transmitting audio and video signals direct from remote news locations, sporting and cultural events from an Outside Broadcast (OB) production vehicle or even from a field-based ENG camera crew direct to FOX’s broadcast centre via satellite.
Necip Kırçın, CTO at FOX TV said: "Hitachi has created a mobile uplink facility which provides features and functions that directly address our technical and operational needs.
"The Hitachi team was able to integrate the very best technology from different manufacturers and create a DSNG vehicle that will meet our needs now and long into the future."
"This vehicle represents something new and different for us in terms of our production facilities – it will enable us to cover a wide range of outside broadcast events throughout our region," explained Vedat Canturk, Sat.Com. Manager at FOX TV. "What impressed us was Hitachi’s ability to talk with us, listen and interpret both our technical and business needs to create this excellent vehicle."
