Broadcast / Cable Case Study: Crew 1 TV – New York, NY
Crew 1 TV – New York, NY
Crew 1 TV is one of New York’s premier independent production companies. As their need for full HD production increased, Crew 1 TV came to Mobile Studios to produce a Fly Pack set for full HD production. Due to the space required for all the components Crew 1 TV needed, two flypacks were used, allowing one for the switcher operator and another for the camera engineer. The extra space in the Engineering Console was filled with Panasonic’s HPM110 P2 Recorder/player. In addition, the Engineering Console features the technology for direct-to-disk recording. Crew 1 TV can take the program output from the switcher and drop it directly into Final Cut Studio’s timeline.
Crew 1 TV’s system was featured in the June, 11 2008 issue of TV Technology magazine and founder, Dino Quaglietta had this to say about his PortaCast® system:
"Encompassing HD/SDI technology and features that a typical flight pack simply can’t match, the system brings a new level of production services to our clients. And thanks to the engineering efforts of Mobile Studios, we have a system built to last well into the next generation of HD broadcasting."
