The audio control for a new OB van commissioned by Croatia’s Gama Studio is centred on a 40-fader Calrec Artemis Light digital mixing console, providing a high level of flexibility and digital signal processing for improved handling of live sports and entertainment events. The truck is already billed as one of the most advanced in Croatia's broadcast market.
‘We wanted the highest-quality systems, and Calrec has a tremendous reputation for top-of-class audio consoles,’ says Gama Studio Sound Engineer, Davor Omerza. ‘There are so many selling points – the integrated audio router, all-optical connections to stageboxes, redundancy and support for audio formats including AES/EBU, Dante and Madi. Calrec and Artemis made our choice an easy one.’
Gama Studio is an established provider, handling a wide variety of live televised events, including the past four seasons of the Kontinental Hockey League, two seasons of Euroleague basketball, and this year’s UEFA European Championship football tournament and FIBA Basketball World Cup. As Gama Studio’s largest truck, the newdouble-expanding, 16-camera vehicle will enable the company to expand its marquee sports coverage to events such as the Pannonian Challenge, an extreme BMX bike/skate event, as well as new types of productions such as the reality programme, Stars Under Hypnosis.
‘For more than 30 years, Gama Studio has served as Croatia’s foremost provider of live production equipment and solutions,’ says Clarec International Sales Manager, Mike Reddick. ‘By choosing Artemis for its new truck, Gama Studio is bringing on one of the industry’s most popular and reliable audio workhorses. It’s a pleasure to be teaming up with Gama Studio as we continue our inroads into the rapidly growing Eastern European marketplace.’
