ViBOX - A new level of efficiency in Live Production…

The Vibox is a new pioneering solution for Live Broadcast with an initial focus on Sports coverage. The fundamental concept is to provide full professional coverage of smaller productions (between 4 to 7 cameras) with a reduced on-site equipment footprint (remote access capable) and more efficient utilization of production crews.

The Vibox records up to 7 cameras on-site and offers the same functionality as a full OB Van by integrating the following elements into a single solution:
• Video Mixing
• Audio Mixing
• Replays
• Highlights
• ISO recording
• Graphics
