Developed in collaboration with dbV Rentals, Aspiration 35 represents the media and entertainment industry’s first ARRI camera-equipped truck on the market and is among the first to deliver a complete cinematic workflow natively from a TV truck, offering a revolutionary blend of film-quality imaging and traditional live production infrastructure.

TNDV recently debuted Aspiration 35 at a special block party in Nashville. The event featured hands-on demos of the truck’s cinematic workflow and brought together production professionals, vendors, and industry groups among other friends and peers. The party also featured new products from local vendors like Elite Script (debuting its new Jumbo Bright Teleprompter system) as well as interactive experiences from media outlets such as the Cams Channel podcast.

As the first company to integrate the live multicam system on a mobile production unit, TNDV sees Aspiration 35 as the industry’s answer to filmmakers and high-end corporate clients who want the look of cinema in a scalable, broadcast-capable truck environment. While traditional broadcast trucks are engineered for 1080i and 60p sports or news content, Aspiration 35 is built to handle today’s demand for cinematic aesthetics across sectors that include entertainment, corporate, and even sports productions through technologies that bring true 35mm sensors, 4K and 24p acquisition, shallow depth of field and much more together.

dbV Rentals, a Nashville-based video production rental house, provided the ARRI Alexa 35 Live cameras and worked closely with the TNDV to develop the single-wire architecture to new base stations installed on Aspiration 35. The truck’s camera packages are also fully scalable and can support up to twelve Alexa 35 Lives with each deployment and are also integrated with essential live production systems, including return video, tally, intercom, and remote camera shading. dbV Rentals is the first rental house in the United States to offer Alexa 35 Live camera systems, which are immediately available.

The unveiling of Aspiration 35 comes on the heels of TNDV’s newly-announced Exclamation truck, which has been revamped with a holistic 12G video/audio ecosystem, a refreshed hybrid fiber/copper backbone, and a modernized 10GbE networking infrastructure.
