Custom-built Mobile UHD Camera Control Room for Flexible Event Productions – @Videorent GmbH
Videorent GmbH, a leading Swiss service provider for event productions, specializes in the technical execution of events such as general meetings, panel discussions, and corporate gatherings. For over a decade, Videorent has relied on custom-built mobile production solutions – including camera control units housed in rugged flight cases that can be transported easily and deployed quickly on-site.
The challenge was to develop a compact, mobile UHD camera control system that delivers the highest image quality, scales flexibly for 2 to 8 cameras or playback sources, and integrates seamlessly into diverse production environments – such as live broadcasts of conferences or talk formats. The system needed to be robust, user-friendly, and UHD-capable to meet Videorent’s high standards and consistently impress clients with outstanding visuals.
