TORONTO – Bell Media and Rogers Media-owned Dome Productions has unveiled its latest mobile production unit, a 4K/UHD-capable truck known as Pioneer.
According to a SVG report, Pioneer features a Grass Valley 2M/E K-Frame switcher, EVS EQX routing switcher with 135×112 UHD video capacity, four three-channel EVS UHD LSM XT3 replay servers, ChyronHego HyperX 3.0 graphics engine, and Calrec Artemis Beam digital console with BlueFin2.
Now that Pioneer is on the road as a true standalone 4K production unit, Dome Productions plans to transform its Trillium mobile from a temporary 4K option in two trailers into a permanent 4K solution that can fit in to one. The reconfigured Trillium, which will make use of the original Trillium’s Grass Valley K-Frame production switcher and 10 Sony HDC-4300 cameras, is scheduled to roll out some time in 2017, continues the report.
