Gravity Media, the world leading global provider of complex live broadcast facilities and production services, has officially launched its debut multi-functional Outside Broadcast truck, Sirius.
Sirius is a newly custom-built outside broadcast vehicle based in France, which supports 18 cameras, with up to three vision operators, two replay operators, and an OB supervisor position. It can accommodate 14 staff in high-tech, climate-controlled comfort.
This truck has been designed specifically for the French and European broadcast market, giving customers further benefits from Gravity’s experience in providing the technical equipment, facilities, and services to capture the world’s most watched content.
The OB truck has already been successfully deployed at the ARES Fighting Championship, the International Outdoor Meeting of Athletics and the Archery World Cup.
Furthermore, Sirius adds to Gravity Media’s extensive fleet of mobile units and OB trucks across the UK, Australia, USA, France, Qatar, and Germany. The fleet has been designed and built with a deep understanding of all broadcast environments.
Equipped with the most advanced HD technology available, they are crewed by highly experienced supervisors and engineers who are skilled in supporting a wide range of productions.
