ABS rolls out new HD production truck

Advanced Broadcast Solutions (ABS) has completed a multiformat HD mobile production truck, which hit the road in May.

  • Three Thomson LDK-4000 triax HD cameras and a full complement of Canon lenses
  • Broadcast Pix Slate 5016 2 M/E production switcher with integrated clip store, Inscriber TitleMotion Pro CG, still store and six keyable DVEs on each key channel
