At the end of 2016, Sony Professional Solutions China (PSC), under Sony China ltd. and Zhejiang Radio & TV Group held a signing ceremony on the broadcaster’s 15th anniversary, to mark the strategic investment in 4K IP OB Van from Zhejiang Radio and TV Group and their large investment in Sony XDCAM HD camcorders for HD news production. This took place in the soon-to-be-completed Zhejiang International Film and Television Centre.

“Sony has a large number of successful HD and 4K IP OB van deployments in China. This 4K IP OB van for Zhejiang Radio and TV group is much more advanced, it consists of 32 channels and is equipped with core 4K/HDR and IP production equipment and solutions,” said President Ide, Sony Professional Solutions China.

The completion of the Sony 4K IP OB van is a great example of the deep strategic cooperation between both organisations. The core technology advantages, which Sony provides in the field of 4K/HDR and IP, combined with the 4K production trials that have been carried out by Zhejiang Radio & TV Group, make this an ideal business partnership.
