In today’s fast-paced live production landscape, mobile teams need more than just switchers, cameras, and uplink systems—they need space. Purpose-built to meet that need, the MU-B1 is a 53-foot straight support trailer engineered to give broadcast crews room to work, organize, stage, patch, coordinate, and collaborate without being crammed into control trucks or makeshift production tents.

Whether you’re running a REMI event, operating a multi-truck compound, or supplementing a flypack deployment, the MU-B1 functions as a mobile broadcast backbone, providing essential workspace for engineering, audio, and production support teams. With a non-expanding structure, internal climate control, power infrastructure, and custom cable configurations, MU-B1 is a must-have for shows that require more infrastructure than one truck can deliver.

A Dedicated Space for Offboard Broadcast Operations

MU-B1 isn’t a switcher truck or replay unit—it’s something different and equally important. It’s a support environment designed for the people and systems that make the rest of the show run smoothly. From engineering teams staging fiber routing and audio techs managing patch panels, to producers needing space to coordinate crews, this unit creates physical separation of functions while keeping everyone close to the action.

At 53 feet long, the trailer provides a recommended working footprint of 61 feet by 18 feet. Inside, there are 10 full workstations, including seating and access to power, networking, and audio cabling. The trailer includes clearly divided areas for production, engineering, audio coordination, and logistics, with internal air conditioning and custom layouts to meet the needs of different crews and event types.

Floorplan Built for Collaboration & Efficiency

The MU-B1’s interior layout is a key part of its utility. According to the official spec floorplan:

• The Chapman Room is accessible via front-load ramp, offering easy storage and fast access for large equipment or cable runs.
• The Cushman Area and adjacent Audio/Office zones offer quieter space for mix engineers, recordists, or producers who need to work on-site but away from the main production noise.
• The Production Workspace includes multiple seated operator positions—ideal for REMI monitoring, ingest coordination, or broadcast scheduling.
• The Engineering Bay at the rear of the trailer includes power access, HVAC controls, and critical routing infrastructure for triax, SMPTE, DT12, TAC, and coax.

This layout enables divided but collaborative workflows, letting audio, engineering, and production teams operate in parallel without stepping on each other.

Power and Climate Control Designed for All-Day Use

MU-B1 runs on a single-phase, 208V, 150A power draw, using a standard Camlock connection. That makes it easy to pair with other mobile production vehicles or shore power in venue-based applications. With internal air conditioning and zoned airflow, MU-B1 maintains comfortable working conditions for both crew and equipment—critical during long shoots or high-heat festival and sports environments.

Customizable Cable Infrastructure Per Show

MU-B1 doesn’t just provide space—it acts as a mobile cable and signal hub. Each deployment is custom-configured based on the production’s signal routing needs and compound layout. Common cable inventories include:

• Triax for legacy camera infrastructure
• SMPTE hybrid fiber for UHD/IP workflows
• DT12 audio multicore for stage and booth feeds
• XLR and 4-pair for analog and multichannel routing
• TAC-12 tactical fiber for long-distance connectivity
• Coax (SDI/RF) for video return and RF monitoring

This makes MU-B1 an essential patch and distribution point, especially when paired with high-capacity production trucks like MU-10, MU-11, or MU-28.

Use Cases: Where MU-B1 Really Shines

MU-B1 is not a one-trick pony—it’s a field operations chameleon that adapts to a range of live production demands. Ideal for:

• Flypack system support: When your flypack team needs a clean, powered, climate-controlled workspace.
• REMI staging: Pair with trucks like MU-27 or MU-29 to support camera, audio, and signal flow to centralized control rooms.
• Overflow workspace: Add crew capacity during multi-truck shows or dense compounds.
• Cable management: Serve as your central signal routing point and spool center.
• Mobile broadcast HQ: Use MU-B1 as a command-and-control vehicle on large-scale entertainment, sports, or festival sites.

Why MU-B1 Is the Broadcast Utility Truck You Didn’t Know You Needed

MU-B1 isn’t flashy—but it’s essential. In an era of increasingly complex live production compounds, the ability to provide infrastructure, isolation, and organization makes all the difference between smooth execution and signal chaos. MU-B1 gives technical directors, broadcast engineers, A1s, and crew managers the tools and space they need to build robust shows without relying on cramped quarters or makeshift setups.

From major concerts and sports broadcasts to REMI production staging and hybrid compound deployments, MU-B1 is your mobile infrastructure solution—quietly powering the broadcast behind the broadcast.

MU-29: A Compact REMI Production Truck Optimized for Scalable, At-Home Broadcast Workflows

As broadcast and streaming production continues to evolve toward leaner, decentralized models, mobile units must be more efficient, faster to deploy, and ready for remote integration from the ground up. That’s where the MU-29, Live Media’s 40-foot REMI-dedicated production truck, stands out. Built specifically for at-home production workflows, MU-29 brings the power of a full production control room—switching, camera control, audio, comms—into a smaller, more agile form factor, while handing off final broadcast elements to centralized facilities.

With a single-expando design, compact footprint, and 1-phase 200A power, MU-29 is purpose-built for productions where speed, efficiency, and signal control matter most. Whether you’re producing a mid-size sports event, a university game day stream, a corporate town hall, or a remote government or news feed, MU-29 provides a complete acquisition and contribution platform that’s easy to deploy, easy to operate, and remarkably capable.

Despite being the most compact REMI truck in TNDV’s fleet, MU-29 offers a working dimension of 40 feet long by 21 feet wide, expanding internally to provide generous operator space while keeping exterior footprint minimal.
