Miranda Multiviewers Drive Displays In CSP HD2 OB Truck
M

iranda Technologies, provider
of integrated solutions for
production, playout and delivery
systems, has announced the
installation of its Kaleido-Modular
multiviewers in CSP Mobile
Productions’ new “HD-2” outside
broadcast truck.
Based in Saco, Maine,
CSP specialises in sport and
entertainment video productions for
regional and network clients and
its 53-foot truck was most recently
deployed on behalf of ESPN for
a season of Big East Conference
NCAA basketball coverage.
According to CSP Mobile
Productions President Len Chase:
“We wanted a high-density unit
because the truck needed 52
multiviewers. We considered a
number of options and we had
very specific needs regarding
picture quality, energy efﬁciency
and noise levels. After Miranda
visited us to show what they could
do for HD-2 with Kaleido-Modular,
the decision was easy.”
Kaleido-Modular is a “multiviewer
on a card” and the densest quadsplit multiviewer available, ideal
for production applications. CSP’s
HD-2 truck beneﬁts from KaleidoModular’s small form factor, which
provides the ability to build a total of
20 quad splits using only 10 cards

in a 3RU Densité frame.
Chase added: “A key beneﬁt for
us is that because the modular
frame is so quiet we have mounted
it in a rack close to our operators,
which made cabling to monitors a
breeze. We’re also impressed with
the Kaleido’s ability to rapidly lock
onto the appropriate format when
an input format changes. Finally,
even though we have a highly
customised control system for
our under-monitor displays, tallies,
router switching and GPIs, KaleidoModular’s ﬂexibility means that it
works absolutely seamlessly with
our existing controls.”
Miranda’s Scott Murray, Senior
Vice President, Core Products
concluded: “Our multiviewer
modular solutions are designed to
ensure that operators have all the
tools they need to operate the many
small processors in each module
while retaining the feel of a large
monitor wall.
The practical advantages of
a small form factor, low power
requirement and reduced weight
make operators and engineers very
happy, but those beneﬁts are almost
secondary to Kaleido-Modular’s
ability to deliver the consummate
functionality of our industry-leading
Kaleido multiviewer range.”
