During the ceremony, a spokesperson for Sailing Hightop expressed appreciation to all project partners, noting that seamless collaboration across system design, integration, and commissioning ensured the project was completed on time, on budget, and to the highest standards. According to the spokesperson of GRT, the new OB unit will enhance the broadcaster’s ability to produce and transmit large-scale sports and entertainment events in 4K UHD, providing strong technical support for the upcoming events.

The new OB truck is the first Native-IP UHD system in China, representing a transformative shift away from traditional baseband infrastructure. By adopting a fully IP-based architecture, the unit delivers new levels of flexibility, scalability, and efficiency for live production. Equipped with Grass Valley’s LDX 135/150 cameras and the Grass Valley K-Frame CXP switcher, the system supports 4K and 8K live production with HDR and WCG capabilities, while its distributed workflow enables real-time remote collaboration and future cloud deployment via GV Orbit SDN and AMPP (Agile Media Processing Platform). The design also maximizes space and energy efficiency and enables multi-platform content delivery through native landscape and portrait conversion.
