The two Broadcast Solutions GmbH-built OB Vans exemplify the refinement of the Streamline OB Family concept. They are conceived with pre-configuration to ensure the fastest delivery, but are flexible enough to adapt to the customer’s needs.

The Streamline S8 4K is a compact and self-driving OB Van that excels in 4K with up to 8 UHD cameras. The Streamline S8 4K is the next level of the Streamline OB Vans – pre-configured and available as 4K versions. The OB Van uses the 2 Sample Interleave UHD standard and offers workplaces for up to 9 people. Although only 7.9 meters long the OB Van offers additional space in the rear for storage and works as an independent OB Van not requiring a support vehicle.

With the Alphaline OB vans, the company introduces a new member to the Streamline Family. The Alphaline OB to be shown at IBC comes with a new coach building design: it’s shorter in length and makes efficient use of the available workspace. The OB van offers full and dedicated sections to work on productions with up to 12 cameras in 4K/UHD. The cameras work on the basis of 12G-SDI UHD Single Link in combination with Quad Link 3G-SDI.

Furthermore the production vehicle makes use of hybrid IP-systems and connectivity. Although a more specialized and individualized OB Van, the Alphaline, like the other Streamline OBs, can be delivered in a very short time but without any compromises on technology or durability.

South Korean broadcaster SBS is a long-time customer of Broadcast Solutions and the OB Van shown at IBC is the second unit built for the South Korean broadcaster.
