VP Box Description
VP Box is a portable professional television
studio in miniature, complete and easily manageable from few people.
The VP Box is realized in an elegant container of metal and wood, the VP Box has all the necessary equipment for: the television shots and for
the communications between the technicians that realize it (director, cameramen
etc...).
For his transport is furnished a special container with shaped inside stuffing,
in which the VP Box can be placed during the trip to reduce any
mechanical solicitation.
The VP Box has professional characteristics and a approachable price.
Repeatability of commands
If you have the necessity to create a lot of rooms equipped for television
shots, videostreaming and videoconference (ministries, schools,
industries, banks, etc…) and you desire your technicians not to waste time,
every time, to learn the configuration and the commands of the apparatuses of
every different posting (with risk of errors in the moment of the working), you
can equip every room with a VP Box.
The technicians will be every time of forehead to the same type of apparatuses and will be quickly ready for to operate.
Moreover, being the equipment always of the same type, the job of training will be simplified.
Accessibility with every condition
When it is essential to use more television cameras connected to a control board
(shots of soccer, concerts, shows...), but particular structural, logistic or
of transport conditions, prevent to use one structure prepared on a o.b.van, to
use a VP Box is the only alternative solution.
The particular situations in order to use VP Box, are those in which the equipment video it must travel in airplane, in ship, or with other transported material from thirds party as it happens in the tournee and the road show.
Also when the zone of the tv shots it is
localized in places accessible with difficulty from motor vehicles, as an
example: rooms placed to the last plans of centers conferences, stand situates
to the center of exhibitions spaces, small theatres, ski tracks, etc…, the VP
Box represents an optimal solution.
Dedicated Production Control
In occasion of shots of world-wide interest (formula 1 gran prix, motorcycling competitions, soccer matches, etc…), to the international TV production control is placed side by side a "dedicated" production control that personalizes the program with images coming from the own television cameras. The VP Box is used also for this scope.
The VP Box equipment includes
Triple LCD monitor
An innovative triple LCD monitor produced by the Elman, composed from two 5.6 inch screens and from one 10 inch screen for a better vision of the images. The monitor is balancing for to improve the visualization angle. When VP Box is introduced in the container for the transport, the triple monitor is closed horizontally.
