Grass Valley has marked a major milestone in Greek media production with the debut of the country's first fully outfitted 4K Ultra High Definition (UHD) Outside Broadcast (OB) truck. The state-of-the-art vehicle, owned by Live Productions and operated by View Master Events, is powered by a 12G UHD HDR signal chain anchored by 12 Grass Valley LDX 98 cameras. Already in use for various high-profile live productions both in Greece and abroad, the truck sets a new benchmark for mobile broadcasting in the region. View Master Events, known for managing complex live events, is overseeing operations, delivering high-quality productions with an emphasis on adaptability and technical excellence. John Zarganis, CEO at View Master Events, explained: 'We aimed to build a production platform that positions us as leaders in the Greek and broader regional markets. Grass Valley's LDX 98 cameras provide the image quality and operational versatility required for today's demanding live production environments. Whether covering sports, cultural events, or major international broadcasts, these cameras deliver consistent performance across multiple formats and frame rates.' John Protopsaltis, Technical Director at View Master Events, added: 'From an engineering standpoint, integrating Grass Valley's LDX 98 system has been transformative. The seamless 12G workflows and robust HDR capabilities give us the technical confidence to take on any project. The cameras' adaptability simplifies setup and operation under tight production timelines, which is crucial in a live OB environment.' The LDX 98 cameras enable native 4K UHD capture and comply with ITU-R BT.2020 standards, offering a wide color gamut and high dynamic range. They support various formats including 1.5G, 3G and 12G, as well as 3X and 6X super slow-motion modes, allowing for simultaneous live and high-speed outputs. This broad compatibility streamlines operations and enhances production efficiency without compromising on image quality. The OB system was designed and integrated by Telmaco S.A., Grass Valley's long-standing partner in Greece. Telmaco supplied the complete camera package and provided integration services, collaborating closely with View Master Events to build a cutting-edge, scalable production platform. Drossos Kyriazis, COO at Telmaco, said: 'This represents the first brand-new 4K camera package deployed in Greece and is a landmark for the broadcast industry in the region. We are proud to support View Master Events and Live Productions with our combined expertise and Grass Valley's world-class technology.' With the truck now fully operational, Live Productions and View Master Events are preparing for upcoming national and international events and are exploring potential future expansions of their Grass Valley equipment across their OB fleet.

19 May 2025 The ABC will soon start broadcasting the ABC NEWS Channel and ABC Entertains in High Definition (HD), providing a better viewing experience for audiences. From 11 June these channels will no longer be available in Standard Definition. The ABC will continue to broadcast the main ABC TV channel in both SD and HD.

If you are unsure how to retune channels you should refer to your TV manual or contact the manufacturer.
