Epic is designed to begin operating before house power is available with its onboard 30kW diesel generator.
Production vehicle fabricator Pure Command has unveiled a new support unit for the production of live television events. The new "Epic" truck will be part of ESPN's "Monday Night Football" telecasts for the 2010 season.
Epic is a 53ft double-expandable broadcast support unit able to support the largest remote productions with a wide variety of configurations. It features three separate rooms/production areas, including a rear command center/newsroom for eight to 10 people, a center conference room/green room and a front production area for six operators.
The truck includes a newsroom at the middle of the interior that accommodates up to 10 people.
Epic is designed to begin operating before house power is available with its onboard 30kW diesel generator. On-site integration is simplified with its internal wiring. Each section of the mobile unit has available single-mode fiber, HD-grade coax, male and female XLRs, and Cat 6 data cable.
Off-air monitoring is simplified with Epic's onboard self-tuning DIRECTV system. The trailer provides all the functionality of a typical office on the road, such as Internet, printing and direct satellite viewing capabilities. The conference room provides privacy for meetings or additional workspace if needed.
