The development of the Streamline product family of OB Vans, serves as a perfect example of the company’s technological leadership. Streamline is a series of preengineered, nearly off-the-shelf produced and offered OB Vans. Streamline OB Vans come in five different versions, from four to 16 cameras, and can be delivered in a very short time-period with significant cost savings and without compromises on technology and reliability.

In 2015, Broadcast Solutions delivered one Streamline HD 12 camera OB Van to Abu dhabi-based company, LIVE. Another 10 camera OB Vans were handed over to the MBC Group in Dubai. In 2015, Broadcast Solutions also signed a contract to deliver a 30-camera OB Van plus supporting truck to Qatari Broadcasting Company, Al Kass. This big OB Van was delivered early 2016 and is a tailor-made solution to meet the customer’s needs and expectations in every aspect.

Sport Arena Multimedia Infrastructure – Solutions and Products Broadcast Solutions successfully planned and delivered state-of-the-art broadcast and multimedia-infrastructure to Otkrytije Arena, the new home of football club Spartak Moscow. The arena should enable its investors to develop new revenue streams by using flexible and modern technology. Additionally, all technology had to be planned in compliance with FIFA regulations since the stadium is a venue for the FIFA World Cup 2018. Furthermore, the company analysed the investor’s needs and supported the planning team with its expertise when it came to entertainment, broadcast and multimedia solutions. It also proposed a single media content management system, allowing maximum profit from advertisement and distribution throughout the whole arena. This would mean all audio and video systems are managed by one multi-functional control centre. Basic considerations in planning the stadium’s concept and profitability focussed on the flexible use and distribution of all available multimedia content to available and future channels.
