Check out the MINI LiveMan on its European Tour

For this unique and never seen Tour in Europe, 3D Storm integrated a MINI Countryman with NewTek TriCaster 450 EXTREME, a compact 14-channel, HD/SD portable live production switcher and the four-input - two-output slow motion system 3Play 425, making the MINI LIveMan a complete and operational production solution to stream live from any location.

For the MINI LiveMan project, 3D Storm collaborates with major partners in the industry, e.g. SIS LIVE operated the integration of the vehicle, completed in record time.

NewTek MINI LiveMan will be showcased in major European Cities in January:

The MINI LiveMan, as an all-terrain vehicle, is equipped with uPod®. SIS LIVE’s uPod is a fully automated, compact, SNG uplink system.

Completely versatile, uPod can be fitted to any vehicle or used as a simple flyaway transmission solution. It is totally flexible and can be removed from a vehicle quickly and easily and used as a ground mount system. uPod packs in to easy-to-carry hostess style trolley cases meeting IATA baggage regulations of under 23Kg.

A central booking system, uBook, controls the complete transmission process. It is simple to operate with a full remote control – via satellite or IP providing an efficient use of satellite capacity.

The MINI LiveMan is equipped with state-of-the-art technologies from JVC. Designed with customer requests in mind, JVC’s new G-series of the DT-V studio monitors offer excellent image quality and feature a robust design suitable for a variety of applications.

Perfect for everyday use, the metal chassis provides optimal heat abstraction and long durability, ensuring that the new DT-V studio monitors are appropriate for professional use. The easy to-use key front panel and optional calibration software provide excellent service and operation of the units.

The latest tapeless cameras from JVC will also integrate the MINI LiveMan production solution. The GY-HM750E, a highly mobile, professional dual memory card camcorder offers a flexibility to fit seamlessly into almost any production environment. For both HD and SD assignments, the camcorder natively records Apple’s QuickTime™ (MOV) file format for Final Cut Pro™ for a smooth, hassle-free workflow. For compatibility with other NLE systems, the GY-HM750E also supports HD MP4 and SD AVI file recording.

Joining forces for this exceptional experience, and thanks to their professional know-how, 3D Storm, SIS LIVE and JVC, made the MINI LiveMan not only the first HD live Production System ever made in a compact SUV, but also the most compact fully functional integration system ever seen.
