All Mobile Video (AMV), a global provider of end-to-end video and audio solutions, has equipped its new ‘Eclipse’ production truck with Bridge Technologies’ VB440 IP probe.
The Eclipse production truck leverages the use of a Cisco leaf-spine network architecture following ST2022-7 for total redundancy, and incorporates both 4K and High Dynamic Range (HDR) production abilities.
At the heart of Eclipse is the VB440, which facilitates monitoring, analysis, and visualisation of all high-bitrate broadcast media content as defined by the ST2110 and ST2022-6 standards. The VB440 facilitates HD, 4K, Standard Dynamic Range (SDR), HDR and combinations of immersive audio, allowing AMV’s engineering and production teams to continuously monitor all layers of media transport, on both redundancy layers, in real time.
Paul Butkiewicz, Technical Supervisor for All Mobile Video, said, “The VB440 probe has become the ‘go-to’ tool on the truck before and during any live production.
“We use it to sweep and compare all the devices for errors across both redundancy layers to assure device, QSFP, and signal flow integrity, both before the truck rolls out of the bay and during live productions.
“As the Eclipse covers high-profile events, it’s critical to know when errors occur on any of our sources and remote feeds, through the use of notifications and alarms.
“We’ve been really impressed with the ease of integration of the VB440 and how seamlessly it has worked in our Network Media Open Specifications (NMOS) environment”.
