Valley Tech’s Broadcast Trailer is a purpose-built, 16-foot outside broadcast (OB) unit that brings full multi-camera production — video switching, instant replay, audio mixing, graphics, and engineering — to concerts, sports events, motorsport, and live broadcasts across Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley. It’s compact enough to tow into a venue and set up on-site, and equipped enough to run the entire broadcast chain from a single trailer rather than assembling a truck’s worth of gear on location.
Inside, four configurable workstations adapt to whatever the production needs — video switching, instant replay, audio mixing, graphics, or engineering — so a small crew can run a full broadcast without shuttling between separate trucks or tents. The switching backbone is a Blackmagic Constellation 1/ME HD Switcher with 12 inputs and 6 outputs, giving real headroom for multi-camera HD productions.
Dual heat pumps keep the trailer climate-controlled, so the crew running a long event day — or a cold one — stays comfortable and the gear stays stable.
Two custom AMD EPYC-based vMix systems handle playback, switching, and instant replay, with 8TB of SSD storage on the replay system for smooth performance through back-to-back critical moments.
This is the sports and motorsport hook: a photo finish, a goal, a crash — instant replay only matters if it’s actually instant, and the storage and processing headroom here are sized for that.
A Midas M32 Core Mixer paired with an SD8 Stage Box gives 8 physical inputs and outputs at the mix position. An 8×2 Dante interface and Dante card carry audio over fiber for distant sources, and Yamaha Dante audio interfaces extend that further — clear, reliable audio across kilometres rather than metres. That range is what makes the trailer workable at venues where the action, the commentary position, and the mix desk aren’t anywhere near each other: a racetrack, a festival grounds, a large outdoor ceremony.
A fully licensed Unity intercom system connects over cellular networks, giving reliable crew communication across large outdoor areas — built for exactly the kind of spread-out footprint a concert, festival, or sports event has. For crews who prefer a traditional setup, a Telex Wireless 2-Channel System paired with a ClearCom Base Station is also available.
The trailer runs on a single 15A circuit for smaller setups or scales to 30A at 120/240V via a twist-lock plug for larger ones. For sites with no venue power at all, Valley Tech can supply a generator to keep the production running and high-speed, redundant satellite internet to keep it connected — off-grid doesn’t mean off-air.
Add optional camera packages for a full production setup, or a fiber distribution system to carry video and audio across large, spread-out venues like racetracks or outdoor festival grounds. The same core trailer scales from a lean two-camera switch to a larger multi-camera production without changing trucks.
Valley Tech handles delivery and setup on every booking. If you need more than the trailer — switcher operators, replay operators, audio engineers — full staffing is available so the production runs as a complete crew, not just a rented box of gear.
The Broadcast Trailer has been put to work across live productions throughout the region — most heavily in motorsport, with broadcast coverage across many race weekends at tracks including Mission Raceway, Rad Torque Raceway, and the Medicine Hat Drag Racing Association. Alongside the racing work, it has handled image magnification (IMAG) — the big screens feeding the crowd — at outdoor concerts, and Remembrance Day live streams carrying a ceremony to people who couldn’t be there in person. That range is deliberate: a spread-out racetrack that needs audio and video over distance, a concert stage that needs clean switching for a big screen, and a one-take broadcast that has to go out right the first time.
Behind that experience is a broadcast workflow built to repeat: a four-workstation setup with live switching, instant replay, and long-distance audio — the same rig and crew whether it’s a race weekend, a concert, a festival, a sports broadcast, or a corporate or hybrid production. It’s ready now for live and hybrid productions anywhere across the Lower Mainland and beyond.
Yes — our Broadcast Trailer is a purpose-built, 16-foot outside broadcast (OB) unit based in Mission, BC, available for productions across Vancouver, the Fraser Valley, and the wider Lower Mainland. It’s a dedicated production trailer with four configurable workstations and professional switching and audio, not a converted van with a switcher bolted in.
Yes — two custom AMD EPYC-based vMix systems handle switching, playback, and instant replay, backed by 8TB of SSD storage so replay stays smooth through back-to-back critical moments. It’s the kind of setup a photo finish or a goal-line call needs.
The Midas M32 Core Mixer, SD8 Stage Box, 8×2 Dante interface, and Yamaha Dante audio interfaces carry audio over fiber across kilometres, and an optional fiber distribution system extends video and audio across large, spread-out venues like racetracks or outdoor festival grounds.
Both. Delivery and setup are included on every booking, and full staffing — switcher operators, replay operators, audio engineers — is available if you need a complete broadcast crew rather than just the truck.
Yes — it runs on a single 15A circuit or scales to 30A at 120/240V, and for sites without venue power we can supply a generator plus high-speed, redundant satellite internet, so the production stays connected without relying on venue infrastructure.
Concerts, sports events, motorsport broadcasts, festivals, and other live productions — anywhere that needs real multi-camera switching, instant replay, or audio over long distances rather than a single camera pointed at the stage. It has covered many motorsport broadcasts — at Mission Raceway, Rad Torque Raceway, and the Medicine Hat Drag Racing Association — along with outdoor concert IMAG and Remembrance Day live streams, and the same setup scales to a wider range of live and hybrid productions.
