The OB truck operated by Broadcast Family was designed to provide a working environment that meets the standards of national and international productions, including those deployed by Radio Télévision Suisse and other major broadcast players.
Conceived from the outset as a high-end production tool, it fulfills the technical, operational, and human requirements of a constantly evolving industry. Broadcast Family deliberately chose a system that is robust, flexible, and scalable, capable of adapting to the specific needs of each production.
Its technical architecture is based on a modular approach, enabling a wide range of configurations. While traditional systems often tend toward specialization, our OB truck is designed to adapt and specialize on demand, according to editorial and technical constraints.
