Metro's new HD portable production unit

Thu, 29 Sep 2011 13:35

Gearhouse Broadcast has announced the sale of various HD broadcast equipment to Metro Broadcast to assist with the building of its new HD portable production unit.

The equipment selected by Metro included Sony HXC-100 Camera Channels fitted with Canon HD Lenses, supported with Vinten Tripods, whilst the production unit was fitted with Panasonic and Ikegami monitoring, Panasonic production switching and Harris routing as the mainstay products.

Delivery of the equipment to Metro proved a great challenge for Gearhouse Broadcast. The effects of the Japanese earthquake and tsunami earlier this year made it increasingly difficult for Gearhouse to deliver the equipment in time due to limited availability and shortage of broadcast equipment. To avoid any disappointment from Metro and to ensure their project deadline was met, Gearhouse Broadcast loaned much of the equipment from its extensive inventory of rental stock held until it was able to completely fulfill the order.   

Said Metro MD Mary Metcalfe: “It was a pleasure to deal with Gearhouse Broadcast, both from a perspective of their technical expertise and also because of their helpful and flexible attitude with regards to ‘loan’ equipment, ensuring that we could keep to all our deadlines.”
