By Jake Young
CACHE-MEDIA HAS supplied Marshall QV171X- HDSDI Quad monitors with IMD to CTV’s MVT3 OB ‘Tape’ truck. The In Monitor Display allows picture source information and tallies to be displayed directly on the monitor, allowing space and financial savings to be made by negating the need for a UMD system. Paul Francis, head of VTR at
CTV, said: “The space, weight, power and financial savings of using the Marshall Quads in the truck made them an obvious choice especially when they can also be used with the computer

Live 4K multi camera coverage given the Premiership treatment
By Jake Young
SIS LIVE has put together a working group to explore the technology and workflows required to deliver live, 4K, multi-camera event coverage from an outside broadcast unit, culminating in a field test at St James’ Park on 2 February. Working with major camera and equipment suppliers, SIS LIVE has conducted proof of concept tests at base using a range of cameras coupled with its latest 3G capable outside broadcast unit OB 14. All recent SIS LIVE trucks have been built to be 3G capable, designed to handle 4K and HD signals. This has involved testing of signal flows, the use of lenses suitable for live event coverage, as

well as the integration of recording technology. Testing continued on 2
February with a Premiership football match featuring Chelsea and Newcastle captured in full 4K using the Sony F65 camera paired with a Fujinon 75mm-400mm lens, recording to the camera’s onboard 256Gb flash memory cards. Additionally one of Psitech’s
4K Vortex systems and a specialist engineer were flown over from the US to take part in the testing. SIS LIVE has gained experience in manipulating 4K pictures within an OB truck setting, and experimented with the capability of the Psitech device to understand its potential applications in the live sport genre.

A sound recording By Melanie Dayasena-Lowe
SUPERVISING SOUND Editor Wylie Statemen turned to Sound Devices’ 788T digital audio recorder to obtain background and sound effects for Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained. “We travelled to some pretty harsh environments, including Monument Valley and
Death Valley, in order to capture authentic sounds for the film,” said Stateman. “I would say the majority of the post production sound in Django Unchained owes its roots to the recordings made possible by the 788T.” For the fight scenes, he not only recorded the sound of guns, but the shots’ echoes as well.
