The Hessische Rundfunk (hr), regional broadcaster of the ARD with headquarters in Frankfurt and regional studios in Wiesbaden and Kassel, uses a fleet of ten TV and Radio OB vans for producing entertainment, sports and concert events all over Hessen. The newly developed OB van is a 4-camera vehicle with own satellite uplink system. By that, the „FÜ 2“ is capable of producing content and broadcasting signals via satellite at the same time. The challenge in building the „FÜ 2“ was adhering to the given dimensions of the vehicle and to fit all the necessary workplaces and workflows inside. Basis for the vehicle is the MAN chassis TGM 15.250 4x2LL which was modified by the coach builder. The construction uses a sandwich structure and had to combine the benefits of a camper with the demands of an OB van. The complete interior work was done by BFE.
The final solution houses four rooms with eight workplaces.
Room 1 is the central apparatus room (CAR) with 3 19“ racks. The room has a separate A/C system and is soundproof so the neighboring workplaces are not affected by any noise.
Room 2 is the control room, installed lengthwise, with five workplaces.
Room 3 is the audio control room with one workplace. If necessary another workplace can be added. The audio control room is acoustically separated from the central control room.
Room 4 is the driver’s cab which houses two multi-purpose workplaces. This room uses the benefits usually associated with campers (available space / separate doors).
