Design, Construction and Operation of a Mobile Television Production Van

With the rise in demand for more on-location shooting of television shows, commercials and sporting events there came a need for a sophisticated mobile television production van. A van 40 ft (12.20 m) long and 8 ft (2.44 m) wide has been designed and built with the latest solid-state equipment. It features two VR-2000B videotape recorders; one HS-100 videodisc recorder; a 20-input, 11-output bus video switcher; a GO-input, 4-channel output audio console; ${1\over 4}$-in (6.35 mm) audiotape recorder; two cartridge recorders; turntable; and six color cameras plus two monochrome cameras, one mounted on a film chain, and the other a portable unit used for graphics and insert keying.
