Studio Berlin Commissions OB Truck With Lawo Mixing Consoles

Studio Berlin has commissioned a new UHD/HDR OB truck called 'Ü10', outfitted with Lawo mixing consoles and control systems.

Audio Control Rooms 1 and 2 of the new OB van are equipped with an mc²56 production console and an mc²36 all-in-one console, respectively, powered by fully redundant A__UHD mixing cores and a Lawo VSM broadcast control system. Planning and construction of the vehicle was accomplished by German system integrator Broadcast Solutions.

Ü10 has already proven its mettle, successfully providing live production for the German Television Awards (RTL) on its maiden voyage. In the future, Ü10 will be used mainly for the production of the German Soccer League (Bundesliga).

The Ü10 OB van is designed as a trailer and contains enough space for up to 26 people to work in a relaxed atmosphere, thanks to an extension of approx. 60m² of working space. It can work with up to 24 UHD cameras, and is completed by a modern set-up truck. The biggest conceptual innovation of the Ü10 project is the complete separation of control room and technology: the technical components are not installed in the OB van itself, but are completely housed in ten 19" racks in the central equipment room in the accompanying set-up van. Both vehicles are connected to each other by redundant fiber optic interlinks.

The two Lawo mc² consoles in the OB van are each outfitted with fully redundant A__UHD cores. Each stand-alone core delivers 1,024 channels of audio processing (48/96kHz) and offers numerous monitoring options as well as downmixing and upmixing. A__UHD technology is based on open AoIP standards such as ST2110-30 / -31 and AES67/RAVENNA, and utilize Ember+ and NMOS for control. For large productions, the vehicle can access up to eight video and audio stage boxes.
