The Genius O.B. Box 08 fits a complete television production studio — intercom system included — into a footprint small enough to carry anywhere.

As digital video standards matured and broadcast cameras grew smaller without surrendering professional image quality, all at a surprisingly approachable cost, El.Man built its fourth-generation answer. The Genius O.B. Box 08 handles classic analog inputs and the latest digital sources with equal ease.

Here is everything built into the system:

Multi-View output display each input, as well as Program & Preview on one monitor. Other features include audio peak-meter, clock and dual logo store.

SE-600 enables you to switch seamlessly between video and audio sources and blend high-quality digital content on the fly, even without external genlock, thanks to the built in time base corrector.

7 LCD TFT Full Colors Monitors: Triple 5.6" and Quadruple 4"
A folding support carries all seven flat-panel color LCD monitors; each one tilts independently, so you dial in perfect contrast at a glance.
They are light, draw little power and stay easy on the eyes through long shifts.
All are PAL/NTSC compatible with automatic switching.
The three 5.6" monitors (Marshall V-R563P) show preview output (center), program output (right) and video-recorder input (left).
Every monitor (960 x 234 pixels) is equipped with 2 inputs and 2 outputs for composite video, has three tally leds (yellow, red and green) and an embedded color bar generator.

Elman 4” x 4 monitors (480 x 234 pixels) have the colour, hue and brightness control.

JVC SR-DVM700* three-in-one digital professional video recorder incorporating digital Mini-DV, 250 GB Hard Disk and DVD recorder with various editing and dubbing capabilities.
SR DVM 700 has an input for analog signals too.

BEHRINGER XENYX 1202
12 inputs and 2 bus with preamps mixer

Every microphone channel runs a high-end XENYX preamp — sound quality and dynamics on par with dedicated outboard units, with a remarkable 130 dB of dynamic headroom.
A bandwidth from 10 Hz to well past 200 kHz reproduces every nuance with crystal clarity.

The equipment in the center of Genius O.B. BOX 08

On the top part of SE800 mixer is located the apparatus for control energy distribution, the AC/DC Power Distribution.
On the frontal panel, there are 3 switches: the first is a general differential switch for AC electrical net, the second is an "equipment" switch for the apparatuses installed inside Genius O.B. Box 08 , the third is a switch for "external" equipment outside Genius O.B. Box 08.

Power Supply
The total power consumption of Genius O.B. Box 08 is about 220 W (90-240 Vac).
Thanks to the universal power supply it can be used in every area of the world.

Intercom Genius
This apparatus (in the center) has 3 distinct functions: Intercom, Listen Amplifier, Tally.
The first is a 7 channels full/duplex and semi/duplex intercom with return modulation and input for external producer.
It provides three 2-wire channels for the cameras and four 4-wire channels to reach, for example, an external producer, recording rooms or an outside O.B. van.

Audio/listen amplifier of the TV Studio is located inside the intercom and the volume is adjusted by PROGRAM control.

Switcher/Video Distributor
The apparatus on bottom on the central zone of Genius O B BOX 08 is a 4 channels video switcher that has the function to change the input signal of VCR shown by left 5.6" monitor.
In the same apparatus is housed a 1x6 equalized video distributor which input is connected to output of SE800 video mixer to send the signal to more users.
