Video Progetti Completes Upgrade Of Two OB Vans

News Image
Video Progetti has completed the upgrade of two OB vans – VHD 24 and VHD 26 – for NEP Italy.

NEP Group is a leading outsourced technical production partner supporting premier content producers of live sports and entertainment worldwide. NEP Italy was established in the first half of 2018 under the leadership of industry veteran Sergio Cecchini, and subsequently acquired local industry leader Telerecord.

In the early part of 2019, NEP Italy solicited tenders for a comprehensive upgrade of two OB vans, to include the audio and intercom systems. Having just acquired a substantial quantity of Grass Valley cameras, it was imperative that the chosen supplier was intimately familiar with Grass Valley equipment. Another vital consideration was that the upgrade needed to be complete in time for the start of the Italian football season.

Based on these criteria, and his previous experience of the company’s creativity, technical expertise and professionalism, Cecchini chose Video Progetti to undertake the upgrade.

"Football is important in Italy, and 4K is vital in football coverage, so we were delighted to be asked by NEP Italy to deliver this upgrade, one of many we have performed since UltraHD became the resolution of choice for delivering sports programming," said Carlo Struzzi, CEO of Video Progetti. "What was particularly enjoyable about this project was that NEP Italy was prepared to trust our judgement, not only on the technical aspects of the upgrade but also on the functional and aesthetic requirements."

Elements of the upgrade included:
• ClearCom E-MADI64-HX 64-Channel MADI Interface Card, providing an Eclipse with 32, 56 or 64 channels of digital audio interconnect
• Grass Valley Densité XIP-3901 agile modular SDI/IP processing platform for Densité 3+
• Telestream PRISM Media Monitoring and Analysis Platform to provide visibility of network performance and problems
• Hitomi Matchbox Generator test pattern generation with advanced audio and video identing.
