OB1
Portable broadcast studio
Professional outdoor broadcasting from anywhere. Ruggedized 6U rack system with SRT streaming, dual-battery power, automatic failover. Broadcasts over cellular networks where traditional equipment fails.
Remote broadcasting without the van
Professional OB vans carry a €500,000 price tag, and renting one runs €500–1,500 per day before you’ve even accounted for crew. Despite that investment, they’re still fighting over the same congested, unreliable internet connections as everyone else on site — a fundamental limitation no amount of hardware in a truck solves.
OB1 delivers the same broadcast capability from a single case that fits in the boot of a car. One person can deploy it, one person can operate it, and it’s ready to go live from locations a van could never reach or justify visiting.
Dual cellular connections run simultaneously with automatic failover under one second, keeping your signal clean through the coverage gaps and congestion that kill single-connection setups. For locations where cellular doesn’t reach at all, satellite backup ensures you’re never truly off the air.
The integrated four-channel mixer handles most live scenarios out of the box, and the system scales to 40 channels when the production demands it. A 4+ hour battery runtime means no generator, no power negotiation, no dependency on venue infrastructure. The operating range runs from -27°C to full summer heat — a specification earned in the field, not a datasheet estimate.
OB1 also installs permanently into a studio environment, giving your hosts a unified workflow whether they’re broadcasting from the building or a field position hundreds of kilometres away.
Broadcast from anywhere.
Built for locations that break normal equipment.
What changes
No more OB van rentals. No three-person crews for simple remotes. No explaining why the feed dropped again.
Cover town halls, sports events, festivals, emergencies — anywhere you can place a box on a table. This changes what’s economically viable to broadcast live.
