DutchView Orders HD OB Unit From Grass Valley Systems

The Grass Valley Systems group within Thomson is to build a new HD OB unit for one of the leading Dutch outside broadcasting facilities, DutchView.
The turnkey order includes 10 new Grass Valley LDK 8000 high definition cameras, four Kayak HD production switchers and a Trinix digital video routing switcher. Also included in the four year partnership is replacement of up to 60 SD cameras for LDK 8000 HD cameras.
DutchView, based in Hilversum, Netherlands, already operates 4 large digital OB trucks in standard definition, previously built by Grass Valley, together with several studios.
John Visser, COO of DutchView commented: "This partnership agreement is the first step towards HD for DutchView. We intensively evaluated the different suppliers in the market and are fully convinced that Grass Valley is our road to the future. We are looking forward to working together in the coming years."
Hervé Dammann, WW Director of the Grass Valley Systems Group added: "DutchView is one of the leading facility companies in the Netherlands. We have been working as its partner for several years and are happy that our relationship continues with this crucial switch over to HD production."
The expandable truck will be designed and fitted out entirely by Grass Valley. A Grass Valley Kayak HD 3 M/E configuration production switcher will be installed and routing will be handled by a 128x224 Trinix router, with Gecko modular products providing the infrastructure.
