Zandar snags Italian truck deal

Zandar Technologies has installed new FusionPro+ and Predator Series MultiViewers in a fully-HD capable mobile outside broadcast unit for SBP in Italy.

The equipment was sold to SBP, a leading Italian broadcast services company with offices in Rome, Milan and Turin , through Italian distributor Elemaint. The new HD capable outside broadcast vehicle, based in Rome, is designed to cope with the demands of some of Europe s largest and most prestigious concert and sporting events. It will be fully functional and ready to broadcast in August, 2006.

Five FusionPro+ Series are installed with enhanced display processing engines capable of handling resolutions up to 1080p. The FusionPro+ systems are driving a mix of Clarity Visual Systems high resolution 46 and 40 inch LCD displays. Each of the FusionPro+ systems are fitted with the ZdH Dual Head option and can drive two displays simultaneously, with any input being displayed at any location on either display, or even spanning across them.
The six Predator HD8 systems are configured to drive Sony 17-inch monitors.
Sergio Nuvolini Technical Manager for SBP, designed the complete OB system. The flexibility of the Zandar systems makes it easy to create and configure the monitor wall to match the needs of any particular type of event, and it also takes care of all of the UMD and Tally information, he said.

Deirdre Smith, CEO of Zandar Technologies said the savings in both space and power coupled with the flexibility of such a MultiViewer system makes it an almost mandatory part of any new HD outside broadcast installation.
We re very excited to be involved in the latest addition to the SBP fleet, she added
