Grass Valley Powers Greece’s First Fully Operational 4K UHD OB Truck
Grass Valley has announced a significant advancement in Greek media production: the operation of the country’s first fully equipped 4K UHD Outside Broadcast (OB) truck.
Owned by Live Productions and operated by View Master Events, the truck features a full 12G UHD HDR signal chain centered on 12 Grass Valley LDX 98 cameras.
The OB truck has already been successfully deployed for a variety of live productions in Greece and internationally, establishing a new standard for mobile live production in the region. View Master Events, a highly experienced production company, manages the truck’s operations, delivering complex live broadcasts with a focus on quality, flexibility, and efficiency.
The LDX 98 cameras support native 4K UHD capture with high dynamic range and wide color gamut compliance with ITU-R BT.2020 standards. Their ability to operate across 1.5G, 3G, and 12G workflows, combined with 3X and 6X super slow-motion options and simultaneous live and high-speed outputs, allows the production team to adapt quickly to varying broadcast requirements. This flexibility reduces operational complexity and increases productivity while maintaining premium image quality.
With the truck now fully operational, Live Productions and View Master Events are preparing for upcoming national and international events and are exploring potential future expansions of their Grass Valley equipment across their OB fleet.
