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, a high-end camera package, and a built-in 2.4 m C-Band uplink antenna. Ideal for sports, live news, public affairs, and events requiring on-site acquisition plus transmission, MU-30 delivers studio-grade capabilities in a streamlined footprint.

  • 32×32 AES digital I/O
  • 320×320 MADI
  • 64×64 Dante IP

Communications System

RTS ADAM-M matrix (166×166 ports):

  • 16 RVON channels
  • 64 OMNEO channels
  • 12 powered intercom channels
  • 12 powered IFB channels

Intercom inventory:

  • (11) RTS BP-325 dual-listen beltpacks

This enables on-site contribution, backup feeds, or live distribution directly from the truck, with no flypack or auxiliary uplink needed.

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 and government event broadcasts
  • Remote news and public affairs uplinks
  • Mid-size live sports
  • Satellite backup feed or redundant path coverage
  • Hybrid live and transmission deployments
