Bexel, a unit of the Vitec Group’s
Services Division, has enhanced its already extensive line
of HD products with the purchase of 40 new Sony HD Broadcast
Cameras.
Bexel has added 20 Sony HDC-1500R 1080p HD camera systems
with build-up kits, as well as 20 new Sony PDW-F800 XDCAM
HD camcorders and corresponding PDW-F1600 XDCAM HD studio
recorders to its inventory.
The new cameras, slated to be used for the first time by a
variety of Bexel customers during the 2010 Winter Games in
Vancouver, Canada, will also help Bexel meet the future needs
of its clients.
“We are very excited to add Sony’s new HDC-1500R
1080p HD production cameras and accessories to our inventory,”
says Craig Schiller, vice president/general manager, Bexel.
“There is strong demand right now from the global broadcasting
community for the latest in HD camera technology. They’re
anxious to use it not only for coverage during the 2010 Winter
Games, but also for the many upcoming sporting events and
reality television broadcasts being produced around the world.”
Bexel is mounting its largest effort ever for the Vancouver
Games. The company is providing HD Cameras, HD Lenses, EVS’s,
Fiber, custom configured control rooms, edit rooms and engineering
support that will be used at different venues in and around
the Winter Games. In addition, Bexel will have a team of technical
experts on-location in Vancouver, ready to set up and support
the equipment.
“The purchase of the Sony XDCAM HD camcorders will also
benefit our ongoing ENG and reality show needs,” adds
Schiller. “The new “F800’s” are becoming
one of the new workhorses for our specialized single and multi-camera
studio and remote acquisition systems.”
“The Sony 1500R HD camera systems also increase our capability
to service upcoming 3D requirements that broadcasters are
so excited about this year,” continues Schiller. “This
is just another testament to our commitment to providing our
clients with the most advanced technology available for today
and the future.”
