Installed in the Spring of 2019, The AVIO is a 2 in, 2 out AES3 interface. At the moment, the AVIO is connected to a Tandberg Satellite receiver which replaced a cheap set top box that had a habit of crashing. As a result of the installation of the AVIO, the last regularly used analogue run around the station was eliminated.  

Installed in the Spring of 2019, The AVIO is a 2 in, 2 out AES3 interface. At the moment, the AVIO is connected to a Tandberg Satellite receiver (IRN news receiver) which replaced a cheap set top box that had a habit of crashing as well as feeding AES3 audio into a first generation Blackmagic ATEM vision mixer for visualisation. As a result of the installation of the AVIO, the last regularly used analogue run around the station was eliminated and studios can be visualised independently of eachother.

Our Outside Broadcast (OB) kit is ever-changing, and varies for every OB to suit the needs of the event. The main part is a Rhino wheeled flight case with table sides. Inside this is the majority of kit required for a simple studio style set up.
