Inside the Blackmagic Design Van!

💬 Comments

I feel like Blackmagic should bring their van to schools and stuff. Fully load it with broadcast gear to allow students a hands on broadcasting experience.

Just spitballing

Wonder how much that truck's insurance costs? Do they sell that mobile case with the ATEM HD and Hperdecks or is that a custom-built pelican case?

Maybe US market is different but here in Europe TVs won't buy this for multiple of reasons. And for private broadcasters this is still a very expensive solution. Of course it is cheaper then 3 000 000€ 8 cam OB Truck from GrassValley but big TVs dont really care. It is like saying dont buy your own Boeing 737 buy this Eclipse 550 instead for the fraction of the price. I am doing studio and ob setups for private companies and I always recommend them this solution from BMD but answer is always the same. Price of this setup with 5-6 cams is around 400 000-500 000€ which is a lot for a private broadcaster, since they might get payed 1000-3000€ (with 50% revenue if they are lucky) per one day job. Also demand is not that great for multicamera production.

BMD is covering this middle part of the market between expensive TV production and completelly basic multicamera work with few guys with their cameras via HDMI hooked to a mixer. Like I said US market is probably different but here in EU I cant see any market available for this type of work (for adequate money of course).
