May 04 2021 - 2:30PM
NEP Group, the leading technical partner for
content producers around the globe, announced today that their US
Broadcast Services team has released a
new mobile unit, NEP
Supershooter 5. 1080p-ready and 4K-capable, Supershooter 5
is the first of the company’s fully IP mobile units to be powered
by their new proprietary and easy-to-use broadcast control and
monitoring system to streamline, simplify and speed up the
configuration and connection of on-site and remote facilities.
With the use of their new broadcast control system, Supershooter
5 marks a movement towards the future of mobile units and remote
production for NEP, bringing current and future technologies and
systems together.
“Though the footprint and technology in this unit are nearly
identical to others in our fleet, our new broadcast control system
really makes Supershooter 5 a next-generation truck,” says
Glen Levine, President of NEP’s U.S. Broadcast
Services group. “The adoption and explosion of IP technologies and
the shift towards centralized production workflows has been
revolutionary for the industry. With our broadcast control system,
we can really harness the power of this technology while reducing
complexity and speeding up the configuration process. It is really
transformative and will help us bridge the gap between existing and
future technologies.”
Andrew Jordan, NEP’s Global CTO, adds, “This
broadcast control system also starts moving us to a place where our
mobile units, flypacks, studios and centralized production
facilities will all be on the same platform – making us much more
flexible, adaptable, and agile for our clients. It was developed
entirely in-house by a fantastic team of software and broadcast
engineers and is going to be a key component of our future
technology development.”
Supershooter 5, which debuted at The Masters golf tournament in
early April, is a powerful single-truck unit that offers a flexible
support truck, when needed, for additional production space. It
features a Grass Vally Kayenne X-Frame switcher, a Calrec Apollo
audio console, Sony HDC-3500 cameras, and EVS XT VIA servers. For
