For those who TD in the northeast, does anyone know of mobile unit that used to do Comcast / CN8 sports shows?
 
I heard that I might be doing some shows on the "Old CN8" truck and I'm wondering who's operating it now, and whether I can get a hold of the specs.
 
Thanks.

Hello all, I have Td'ed on these trucks for the last couple of years. I am still cutting on them as a freelancer now. Unit 1 is a Kalypso v12 SD. It uses the external device to control the FFwd. It is a pain in the butt as you have to write down the times off of the FFwd and type them in to timeline control. Their Unit 2 is the same way, but the Kalypso is v14 HD. This is the nicer of the 2 trucks. Unit 1 has 6 TE's AND a Dveous MX. Unit 2 only has the 6 TE's. Feel free to contact me if you need more info. If you are cutting one of their shows - I can give you the times for the FFwd.
Happy cutting!

I got the intel on this truck today.  It's the "Mobile 1" truck with a GVG-250 and DPM-700, no Fast Forward.

This is their Mobile B, smaller truck that they used for High School sports. I am not sure that they are even rolling this truck anymore.

I used to TD for CN8 the past couple of years.  Both of the trucks I worked on had Kalypso 4ME switchers.  They both have Fast Forward units, but I dont think they have lance controllers.  You can use the machine control in the Kalypso menu software.  Anything else you want to know, send me a message and I'll try and remember. Thanks,Dave L.

I sent an email to someone at Sportsnet's engineering department asking about the truck. When and if I get a response, I'll post here. UPDATE- 2 sources say that Comcast still owns the trucks. The folks who run the Comcast Network have them and the trucks are being used for their shows.
