Aston Red supply Visions OB trucks

Leading independent OB provider Visions Limited have ordered three fully-optioned Aston Red character generators for installation in their new Outside Broadcast trucks.
The dual channel Reds, which are to supplied with full HyperMoves animation capability and the integral VIP2 clip store, will be shipped early in March for installation in the three trucks, and are to provide live captioning and graphics for Channel 4's 'Attheraces'.
Visions' Chief Engineer, Rob Newton, said: "The production company for Channel 4 Attheraces, Highflyer, renewed their contract with us late last year, and the trucks that we're now building will be in near constant use at racecourses all around the country once they're commissioned this summer. They're designed to meet the exacting requirements of live sports events, and it seems that Aston were the obvious choice for on air graphics."
Highflyer Productions have been working with Visions Limited and, prior to that, Global Widescreen, for seven years on the racing, using Aston character generators for location graphics.
