Rack 1 is used for video, Rack 2 for the VTRs and Rack3 for audio - the 10u racks provide all the monitoring. Each of the 17u racks has a sliding tray which provides a control surface for the three operators - camera control vision mixer / director and sound engineer. The system provides four broadcast cameras, audio and video for two VTRs together with full communications and monitoring.
PBDS, part of the Wescom group of companies, provides custom system engineering solutions from outside broadcast vehicles to major studio systems. This is the second order PBDS has placed with 5 Star - following a series of cases made for a video wall they delivered to Syria.
