Topic:
Designing a Mobile Vehicle
for HD and SD Production
Bob McGee
Turner Field Shop
The past 12 months has seen the long awaited
explosion in HD production around the country. The Turner organization has
been involved with this in many aspects of their operations. Prominent among
these has been the development of mobile HD production capabilities.
In
the past year, the Turner Field Shop has rebuilt one of their mobile
production units to provide both HD and SD production and they are currently
rebuilding a second unit to the same capabilities. Members of the Field
Shop, led by Bob McGee, will discuss some of the concerns they have faced
moving directly from operating an analog vehicle to designing, building and
operating a High Definition mobile production unit. They will discuss the
unique requirements of a mobile, multi-purpose capability and they will also
touch on experience gained in operating the first truck that have been
applied in design and construction of the second.
At
least one, and possibly both of the vehicles
will be available for inspection as a part of the program.
Directions:
From
I-75/85
Exit at Freedom Parkway, Exit 248D. Take

Turn left on Ralph McGill. Proceed about 200 yards on Ralph McGill. Before
