Donated TV Truck "Priceless" To University



(From SBU.edu)

GAME CREEK VIDEO has given ST. BONAVENTURE UNIVERSITY a television production trailer, originally valued at $5 million when it was designed by UNITEL VIDEO in 1988.

Game Creek engineer TOM KLINE and Buffalo video engineer PAUL HALSEY visited campus Friday morning to show faculty and students how to operate the equipment on the 48-foot trailer.
 
Built in 1988, the 48-foot double-expando truck was once one of the signature mobile units in the country, taking on big-ticket entertainment shows like THE ACADEMY AWARDS.

The equipment includes a GRASS VALLEY 3000 switcher, four hard IKEGAMI cameras with CANON lenses, three hand-held IKEGAMI cameras, four SONY BVW75 BETA decks, a YAMAHA 3500 audio console, a CHYRON INFINIT and an ABEKAS DVEOUS.

The production truck will allow the journalism program's 295 students to provide content for TIME WARNER's Upstate New York sports channel.
