MU-4 45′ 3G Single Expando Overview

MU-4 is a 3G single-expando mobile production unit built for high-performance live broadcasts. Designed for sports, concerts, corporate events, and award shows, it pairs a five-M/E Grass Valley K-Frame switcher with a 56-fader Calrec audio console, Evertz video and audio routing, Grass Valley SMPTE HDR cameras wired for 12 CCUs, 34 channels of EVS replay, and a 160×160 RTS Adam intercom, all in a compact yet expandable footprint.

Dimensions and Configuration

MU-4 offers a well-optimized layout that balances interior working space with mobility.

• Base length: 43 ft
• Base width: 8.5 ft
• Expanded section: 36 ft × 13.5 ft
• Total length (with tractor): 78 ft
• Gross vehicle weight: 80,000 lbs (max)

This configuration provides ample operator space while remaining maneuverable for diverse venues and remote production environments.

Video Production Technology

MU-4’s video infrastructure is centered on the Grass Valley K-Frame 3G switcher.

Switcher capabilities:

• 5 M/E, 64 inputs / 48 outputs
• Image Store with movies

Record & Playback

MU-4 is wired for 34 channels of EVS XT-3, giving fast turnaround for replays, highlights, and multi-angle playback during high-intensity live events.

Camera System

MU-4 is a SMPTE truck built around Grass Valley LDX 86 SMPTE HDR WorldCams.

• Wired for 12 CCUs
• Camera and lens configurations available to fit each show

Audio Capabilities

MU-4’s audio is mixed on a Calrec Artemis Light Bluefin 2 digital console.

Console features:

• 56 faders
• 64×64 analog
• 64×64 AES
• 256×256 mono MADI
• 64×64 Dante
• 64×64 Waves Broadcast Suite

This gives audio teams the processing and I/O to handle complex, multi-source mixes.

Routing and Multiview Systems

Signal management is powered by the Evertz EQX 3G video router (280×458).

Video router:

• 96×64 embedding / de-embedding
• 16×16 fiber to external I/O
• 18 internal frame syncs with de-embedding

Evertz EMR audio router:

• 1024×1024 MADI
• 96×96 mono AES
• 192×384 mono analog

Conversion and multiview:

• (40) Cobalt 9905-UDX units
• (8) TX processors with up/down/cross conversion
• 246×32 multiview capacity

These systems provide comprehensive routing and monitoring across cameras, replay, graphics, and transmission paths.

Communication Infrastructure

Clear, reliable crew communication runs through a 160×160 RTS Adam matrix intercom.

Intercom features:

• 64 OMNEO channels
• 16 RVON channels
• 32 MADI channels
• 8 powered PL channels
• 6 powered IFB channels

Stations and accessories:

• Dual-listen beltpacks
• Single- and dual-muff headsets

Why MU-4 Stands Out

MU-4 combines five-M/E switching, SMPTE HDR cameras, a 56-fader Calrec console, deep Evertz video and audio routing, 34 channels of EVS replay, and full RTS intercom in a proven, reliable platform. It’s a trusted solution for producers who need quality, stability, and adaptability in high-pressure live environments.

Applications

MU-4 is ideally suited for:

• Live sports broadcasts
• Concerts and music specials
