When designing its newest
53-foot double-expando HD video production truck – Cobalt
- Sweetwater Digital Productions chose NVISION's NV8288 Digital
Video Router, NV9000 Router Control and Panels, and Synapse
signal processing equipment. Sweetwater, located in Van Nuys,
California is a leading provider of mobile production services
for the entertainment industry. Sweetwater's Cobalt production
truck recently had its debut at the "Independent Spirit
Awards" broadcast live in March from Santa Monica, CA.
Cobalt will also be used for "Last Comic Standing"
and the upcoming live "43rd Annual Academy of Country
Music Awards," both in Las Vegas.
Mark Hale, Chief Engineer at Sweetwater, states, "After
considering different vendors' products, Sweetwater chose
NVISION routers and Synapse equipment as the primary conversion
and processing solution for Cobalt. Several factors were considered
in the evaluation process including a tight transmission path,
functionality, signal quality, and space efficiency. With
only 53 feet available, we had to maximize the use of our
space. The NV8288 is only 12 inches deep for a 576 x 576 router,
and with the Synapse modules, we were able to save a full
rack of space in the Cobalt design compared to other alternatives."
Hale adds, "With Cobalt being a mobile production facility,
it's critical that we provide a system solution for our clients
comparable to the most advanced fixed production facilities
on the market today. With NVISION, we have a high-quality,
seamless and tight operation, with room to expand and add
more capability as we need it."
Stephen Sharp, Engineer at Sweetwater comments, "NVISION
has the most robust systems at the right price. Early on,
they listened to our technical needs and helped configure
the right solution, tweaks included. And the NVISION service
and support team is extraordinary – if you need them,
they're on hand with the immediate and right solution."
Mark Hale and Stephen Sharp along with other Sweetwater staff
Engineers collaborated with NVISION on the design of Sweetwater
Digital Production's new 53-foot double-expando HD video production
truck, Cobalt. Sweetwater's customer focus is the entertainment
industry.
