NEW BLOGGER.. lets see... today's count for North American TV production trucks, the survey says.... 490 TV trucks (i.e. vehicles with tires, a switcher and 2 or more cameras, VTRS, CG, Audio, etc. These counts do not include Production/Uplink units although some are fully capable of a 5-6 camera,EVS,HyperX booking..
From PMTV's PASS database, Mobile Units, as of March 9, 2010
TV TRUCK TOTALS NORTH AMERICA BY RANKING/CLASSIFICATION
2 3D Mobile Units... how many by 2012?? and WHO'S PAYING FOR IT??
137 HD Units, all sizes/configurations
= 89 HD-A1 full specs trucks network show capable
= 16 HD-A2 ranked units, less overall numeric gear counts
= 19 HD-A3 ranked units, less is less, small 4-5 camera shoots
= 16 HD-B ranked units, 2-3 cameras, not sports capable
All of these trucks work in the HD world depending on event spec, budget, locations, etc.
SD WORLD
14 SD-A1 ranked trucks, still viable for many shows, but low numbers indicate a die off.. 5 years ago there were 120 SD-A1 units on the road
55 SD-A2 level trucks, less than Kalypso switchers, older EVS and cameras
76 SD-A3 less gear, older gear, etc.
107 SD-B1/2/3 ranked trucks, basically based on less numeric gear counts
85 C ranked trucks, some still viable for 2-3 camera shoot, etc.
Still waiting for the SNG industry to ramp up to HD Production capable units, currently only 10 HD production capable units (i.e. HD Switcher 5+ cameras, EVS, HD CG, etc.. will blog our SNG counts at a later time..
