Solutions expertise

The broadcasting world is changing at a remarkable pace. Sophisticated consumers expect more – and demand more. Live action in HD. Delivery to mobile devices. Interaction. 3D experiences. Sony Professional, the acknowledged industry leader in Outside Broadcast vehicles, will help you to meet these challenges: today; tomorrow and into the future.

We understand the challenging environments you work in. The pressures of live broadcast. The complications of extreme climates, complex production processes and local technicalities. The different demands of live sport, concerts, political events, music videos, 3D productions, film and drama.

We don’t have a standard model. We’ll listen to your production team. We’ll analyse your broadcast needs and work with you to design and develop Outside Broadcast vehicle solutions that precisely meet your unique scope of operations.

Solutions designed to meet your priorities

Your Outside Broadcast remit is changing. Budgets are under pressure. Deadlines are tight.

Covering refurbishment as well as new design and build, we have the capability to provide the full spectrum of services, from multi-platform compact vans providing versatile OB coverage on a tight budget, to top-end dedicated trailers. Right from the beginning of the design process, we’ll use our expertise to create a solution that will reduce your overall cost of ownership and maximise your potential return on investment.

Working collaboratively with your broadcast professionals, we’ll create detailed 3D designs and technical drawings so that you can visualise the vehicle from the outset. No misunderstandings about working environments. No expensive workarounds. No last minute surprises.

Helping you stay ahead of the game

As a global player in professional and consumer electronics, we have a clear vision of where the industry is headed. This enables us to create efficient, future-proof solutions, designed to accommodate additions and upgrades, and maximise operational life.

Choosing the right mix of vendors, achieving seamless integration, and bringing it all together on time, and on budget, requires expertise, experience and dedication.

We work with quality coachbuilders and proven technology specialists. We drive innovation to create custom solutions where required. Our hands-on approach with partners anticipates potential problems, and ensures quality. We build in failsafe mechanisms, dual redundancy systems and emergency operating options. And our buying power delivers unparalleled value.

With you all the way

We deliver total solutions. From design to delivery, we’ll take care of all of the details. A dedicated project management team will keep you informed, keep your project on track and advise you of progress.

Our team will accompany the delivery of your new vehicle and make sure your people are comfortable with any new systems, equipment and operating procedures. Getting to grips with new HD cameras, an enhanced production environment or new channel distribution options: we’ll be there to help. Post delivery, we can provide full backup and 24/7 support for the lifetime of your vehicle.

We’re interested in long-term relationships, where we can use our knowledge and expertise to help you maintain your competitive edge. We’re proactive. We’ll help you to migrate to new platforms, adopt new technologies and integrate new working practices. We develop framework agreements that enable us to work in real partnership, responding quickly to changing demands in your broadcast arena.
