We made this film for Sony Professional Broadcasting over 8 months, documenting the building of the first ever fleet of 4K outside broadcast vehicle's for Russian company Panorama to be used in the next Winter Olympics.
Watching the video in Jan 2022 and hearing it's future proof, made me feel sad for those guys. Amazing effort but the cost to produce something like that knowing it'll last 4/6 years :(
We are talking about live broadcast here, not television in general. It is not at all common to have live events broadcasted or even streamed at 2160p. The hardware to compress the video for an UHD-stream alone costs a fortune.
Amazing works, amazing teams, and absolutely outstanding products. Can't imagine how complex these kind of trucks for the today's standard which about to supports 8K livestreaming and more advanced sets of broadcasting
This is awesome! I'm amazed this was only 2014, and we've already come so far (from 1080p 50fps to 8k 120fps) (Modern Blackmagic switchers able to do 10x as much as what its predecessors could).
Wonderful to see a long lost friend again...Hi Neil Wilson....still building trucks then ? Maybe you should pop over here to New Zealand and help us ...Hah Hope you are well
Jack is right. A new truck these days really needs to be capable of producing 4K, regardless of what the broadcast standard is because online streaming is a major component to any outside production.
My Samsung galaxy note 2 from 2012 (when this was filmed) barely has any burn in, and considering I used my phone more than they used this portable broadcasting setup I'd say they are probably fine. Or were already replaced because they became out of date.
@@25566 Burn-in depends a lot on the screen content. For example, the Note 2 I used for a while has a major burn in of a game's UI. (Bright line in a mostly dark game) Unfortunately in 2016 the RAM decided to completely crap itself, so I can't get a picture.
those monitors tend to keep track of each subpixel's operating hours. There's more processing power in the panel's driver board alone than in most televisions. But i guess timecode and umd area may have some burn in, if have not been replaced by now. New gear tends to be a drop in replacement in that price class
@@BraedenRoesler it’s not about 8k. It’s about the fact, that 8K was even being developed at that point in time. And yes, 1080 is a thing of the past as for 2022, since even a lot of small studios do firstly work with 4K and only downgrade to 1080 because a lot of households still need some time to upgrade to 4K systems.
@@Ritermann Again, live broadcast television, not movies or Netflix/HBO shows. "studios" don't keep their 4k sports footage that they broadcast at 1080p then wait 5 years and upload it at 4k later. You're thinking this is a movie studio. It's not. 🤦♂️
I wonder why the US and Russia's weight limits for vehicles are 38000lbs? While the UK's is a solid 40000lbs. Doesnt the US and Russia have bigger roads?
Thats some serious coin in each one of those trucks. Pleased to see they arrived safely and just surprised they didn't take an armed escort through Russia as truckers sometimes get targeted by robbers though this is what happens! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GCuLCEv1a5M.html
Gross vehicle weight in the US is 80,000 lbs. It's amazing that all the “backward sh*thole countries” that America looks down on can handle the metric system. While the US (we are the greatest and number one in the world) is still fifty years behind.
Gross vehicle weight limit in the US is 80,000 lbs (36 metric tons) for 5-axle combination vehicles. Rocky mountain doubles, turnpike doubles, and triples can exceed 80,000 lbs, plus special permit loads can practically weigh an unlimited amount. The UK, where this documentary takes place, uses a combination of the metric system and imperial, much like the US's combination of metric and US customary. UK's roads are in MPH. Canada still uses a lot of imperial measures, though unofficially, much of their machining equipment is still in fractional inches.
as this all is pro gear you most likely swap out the video routers, switcher, CCU and monitors, with 12G-SDI you get full 4k HFR on the same cabling, basically keep the truck, switch some stuff and you're good to go another 10 years. But much more likely these will still serve a lot of events in FHD while the new showcase 4k/8k fleet is already in service for high profile productions. Even with all that buzz around 4k and higher, televison, even in 2022, is FHD for most parts of the world.
I am not sure you know what are you talking about. The technology and format is very current. It's a long way to 4K or IP. So you make such a comment just to have people bash you.
Japan's 2020 Olympics will be broadcast in 8K and NHK already broadcasts in 8K on special events. 4K is the norm at the moment for major sporting events and it will probably be a thing of the past in the next 10 years. IP is already quite common so I'm not sure what you mean.
The World Cup was broadcast in 4K UHD, using an IP workflow. So I agree with the parent commenter that the technology in this video are already outdated.
13% of all the world's satellite television channels (i.e. 13,000 or more) are HD or higher resolution, with less than a fraction of 1% being in UHD--the remaining 87% are all in SD/ED at best.
@@NUCLEARARMAMENT And none of those channels require a mobile trailer production office for live events. There's only a handful of channels doing live events and they'll be in 4K with 8K started at the 2020 Olympics, so yeah massively nice looking trailers but nowadays obsolete for their original goal. But Sony could permanently park them at their studios for the few productions they still do in 1080P and use them for production of non-live, can't imagine Sony still produces anything in 1080P though...
Why? I suspect in Russia, FHD will be broadcast for many years to come. I worked for ITV in the UK. Upgrading from 1" to DigiBeta was a major step and a very costly one. To upgrade the whole ITV network from FHD to 4K, will be a major cost outlay. Streaming is a whole different scenario.
Of course, this is AMAZING technical work, and real “state of the art” in Broadcasting World on these days. But please look at this picture from another point of view: yesterday You doing this work for really big Putin's money, today - the result of this work POISONING YOUR COUNTRY: Brexit in Great Britain, Elections In USA, Cyberterrorism and hacker attacks all around the world, war agains Ukraine, war against Georgia, support of Asad in Sirya, war in Karabakh, and few days ago - invasion in Kazakistan. EVERY technical company (no matter how they are big or small) need to clearly understand: Putin's dictatorship regime using ANY TECHNOLOGY in war against of democracy’s world. The more powerful technology You bring him - the more pressure, or invasion, or war, or cyberattacks come to Your country. Do not believe? Just read what Putin say several month ago: NATO need to go out from Europe, not supporting ex-USSR countries, and change their structure and strategy. Madness? Of course... But why Putin have such strong beliefs? Because of technology THAT YOU GIVE HIM!
That's one of the features - 0-0 can mean a pretty impressive game, but 10-5 means nobody played well enough. Oh - it's also a game, not a contest. It's a bit like explaining american football - very difficult unless you get it.
Just to be clear; I don't refute the talent required to play the game. In fact, it is enjoyable to watch how they skillfully handle the ball. But I can only watch briefly.
