Six-Camera OB Truck / MCOT

Six-Camera OB Truck / MCOT, Thailand

 

THE BRIEF

With an advanced equipment specification, INTEGRATION the truck commissioned by North Star Equipment for Thai National Broadcaster MCOT was to be the first truck of its quality and size in Thailand. The brief detailed a six-camera O B truck with three operation areas separated by sliding doors, 16-Camera enough space for several operators, and air-conditioning to protect equipment from overheating in the tropical Thai climate.

 

OB Vehicle C2S carried out the integration and coachwork, as well as supplying the truck itself, for local broadcast equipment supplier North Star Equipment, who were awarded the SI contract. The system was designed, built and pre-assembled in our workshop, ready for export, with final assembly completed on-site in Thailand. “The C2S Systems team has the project management expertise and the ability to supply every element of the build to a very high standard rather than outsourcing. We needed this to ensure the highest quality truck was delivered to MCOT at the best possible price,” said Gia Radioas, International Relations Director at North Star Equipment.
