SVG Platinum Sponsor Bexel Broadcast Services served as technology partner and service provider as A/V Support experts at this important workshop.

Mobile trucks took center stage for the third annual Mobile Engineering Workshop, moderated by NEP Broadcasting ex-CEO Lou Borelli. Representatives from four major mobile-production-truck companies discussed how equipment manufacturers can better meet the needs of the changing mobile-production industry.

Today's HD production trucks are more complex than ever. What are the top trends in the construction and equipment needs for the big-time TV production vehicle? How are they gearing up for next-generation challenges like 1080p or even 3D HD? And how can equipment manufacturers better meet their needs to ensure the mobile TV market continues to be a leader in technical innovation?

The official announcement that Fox Sports, Sony Broadcast, and 3ality Digital are teaming up to deliver the college-football Bowl Championship Series National Championship Game in 3D HD led into the first session of the afternoon, a demonstration and panel discussion on 3D HD. Members of the audience were treated to a presentation of highlights from the San Diego Chargers-Oakland Raiders game played earlier this month and shot in 3D HD on the NFL Network. An edited highlights package "” complete with slow-motion replays and NFL Films-style music "” was presented as part of the panel discussion on the future of 3D HD production. SVG Editorial Director Ken Kerschbaumer moderated a blue-ribbon panel featuring NFL VP of Media Operations and Broadcasting Glenn Adamo, ESPN VP of Emerging Technology Anthony Bailey, NBA VP of Operations and Technology Steve Hellmuth, ESPN Coordinating Technical Manager Stephen Raymond, 3ality Digital Systems CEO Steve Schklair, and Fox Sports SVP of Field Operations Jerry Steinberg.
