5 Star's Keith Sykes says: "Clients like CPL are invaluable. They are extremely busy year-round, their work is always varied and interesting and they are constantly expanding the equipment and rental stock, all of which needs flight casing for on-going road work. Consequently, we are involved in supplying a full range of standard and special cases."
The latest CPL 5 Star case project has involved a custom designed set of road cases for CPL's newest series of 'fly away' portable video production units (PPUs).
This is a smaller PPU specifically designed to service the proliferation of projects where the larger full sized Grass Valley PPUs would be too large, and is based around a Panasonic AV-HS400 mixer. This is integrated with two Marshall 24" monitors, a Ross HD/SD matrix switcher and an RTS talkback system.
