MU-30 | 46’ 3G Single Expando with C-Band Uplink

Compact Production + Transmission Power for Broadcast-Grade Remote Events

The MU-30 is a fully integrated 3G HD production truck engineered for seamless field broadcasting and live satellite transmission. With a compact single-expando design, this unit combines a Grass Valley K-Frame switcher, powerful Calrec audio, high-end camera package, and built-in 2.4m C-Band uplink antenna. Ideal for sports, live news, public affairs, and events requiring on-site acquisition + transmission, MU-30 delivers studio-grade capabilities in a streamlined footprint.

Why MU-30 Stands Out

MU-30 is a hybrid powerhouse, purpose-built to serve both production and transmission needs from a single unit. Its small-footprint, single-expando design is ideal for venues with limited space or quick setup demands. Whether for remote news broadcasts, field sports coverage, or special event programming, MU-30 delivers studio-grade switching, audio, camera, and satellite uplink — all from one mobile command center.

Ideal Applications

• Political & Government Event Broadcasts
• Remote News & Public Affairs Uplinks
• Mid-Size Live Sports
• Satellite Backup Feed or Redundant Path Coverage
• Hybrid Live & Transmission Deployments
