SPECIAL FEATURES

*
In an industry dominated by multinationals, Arena is proud to be British and pay all taxes in the UK. Arena holds contracts with the nation's major broadcasters to provide coverage of events, music, large studio shows and sport. Arena is a Telegraph 1000 business that has remained in continuous family ownership for approaching 30 years. Arena continues to pioneer by introducing the world's first IP-based UHD High Dynamic Range OB fleet. The new triple-expands (OBX, Y & Z) all feature UHD/HD/SD multicast technology. They are based around a powerful IP core developed in association with Grass Valley and Cisco. This approach is much more flexible than traditional baseband.
*
OBX together with OBY and OBZ are the first large-scale implementation of a native IP work flow capable of multi-casting in UHD HDR, UHD SDR, HD and SD. Data is fully IP from the camera CCU through the vision mixer to transmission. This makes the truck considerable more capable than the existing baseband approach that uses 4 copper cables for each path.

• IP maintains and enhances the high production standards of an HD workflow
• No bottlenecks associated with legacy baseband Quad-HD designs
• Supports both GV’s (and Sony’s) native UHD cameras
• A base-band Quad-HD layer for legacy and back-up purposes
• Scalable on-site and off-site remote production as standard
• Multi-format HDR as standard; upgradeable to 4K high frame rates and 8K
• New outboard fibre-nod technology reduces cable rigging time and costs
• Highly scalable allowing requirements to change on the day
• Cisco 10GbE and 40GbE switch; SPMTE 2022-6 with TR03/04 support
• UHD 2Si for significant benefits in resilience and monitoring
