VAV GROUP has renewed the contract for the provision of Mobile Units services for “Alamiya”, an audiovisual production company from Saudi Arabia, for the 2021-2022 season.

The progressive social changes that are taking place in Saudi Arabia have led to a significant increase in the demand for broadcast services for the production of different types of events, be they sporting, cultural, or entertainment.

We have moved our OB Van 15 and technical crew to KSA at full dedication to this important reference client in the GCC countries where it is currently responsible for the production of several football leagues.

The OB Van 15 HD will have an endowment of 18 HD camera chains, 4 SSM, 4 EVS and a Jimmy Jib of 9 meters for the provision of the different services.

The big day of Valencia will begin with the descent of the Real Senyera from the City Council and subsequent civic procession to the Parterre gardens, to make the floral offering to the equestrian statue of King Jaime I.

For the production of coverage of the town hall events and coverage of the Senyera route, the OB Van 21 HD will have a supply of 8 camera chains, a hot crane, 2 HD box lenses, HD video server and RF link.

VAV Broadcast will produce with OB Van 21 UHD the 109th International Show Jumping Competition (CSIO Barcelona), which will be held at the Real Club de Polo de Barcelona from October 3 to 6, 2021.

Over three days (1-3 October) a total of six events will be held, two daily, among which the three corresponding to the Longines FEI Nations CupTM Jumping Final stand out.

For the eighth consecutive year, the International Equestrian Federation bets on Barcelona to make it the venue for the most outstanding show jumping competition on the international calendar.

One of the main attractions of this edition will be the participation of the Olympic champions. A few weeks after the appointment in Tokyo and after the dispute of the European Championship, CSIO Barcelona will have an outstanding line-up. The best riders and amazons of the moment, with their most outstanding horses, will try to snatch the title from Ireland who won the final in 2019.

VAV Engineering has recently begun the complete renovation of the audiovisual production facilities of the RTVE Territorial Center in Toledo, for which it was awarded in 2020.

Consequently, the digitization project of theTerritorial Center of Castilla La Mancha (Toledo) will be addressed, as it is the only one that today remains with obsolete analog equipment. Within this digitization project, both the installation of new digital media in High Definition for the production of programs and news is contemplated, as well as the adaptation to the new environment of the referred digital newsroom, which may dispense with the stages of system conversion analog to digital systems, and vice versa, on which it depended today.

It will also be possible to dispense with these conversions in the contribution channels with Torrespaña and with other centers and informative units, as well as, when the production is carried out in HD, the stage up-conversion to HD of the broadcast signal will be dispensed with, being this broadcast in native high definition from its source.

The project also includes the unification of the Intake and Technical Control Rooms, currently separated, in order to facilitate the work of the technicians, while homogenizing the Center’s scheme with respect to other Centers, where these rooms are a single.

For the execution of the installation works, the non-interruption of the continuity disconnections of La 1 and the maintenance of the current capacities of the Information Services will be taken into consideration.
