ABSTRACT
Bringing outdoor events into the living room of the viewer is becoming more and more common. In order to record these events, be they sport, a concert or an important national event or ceremony, there is more and more reliance on the use of the outside broadcast or OB vehicle. Where these vehicles were once small control rooms on wheels, the move has been to build ‘Super Vehicles’ which are equipped for multi-camera/multirecording situations. The design and construction of these vehicles requires a considerable concentration of effort from a group of designers, each a master of his or her own expertise in a particular aspect of the vehicle, which as a team come together to build this mammoth mobile television control room of the road.
