Our Mission

The OB Group strives to provide excellent service with a personal touch.

We offer our clients a turnkey solution achieved by a 'concept to completion' service on a one-to-one basis.

We deliver a cost effective solution for all outside broadcast requirements.

Company Profile

Established in 1992 The OB Group was founded primarily to service the medium size OB market. The company began with 4 partners (hence the name). From the earliest days, our main focus was the corporate market. This soon changed when we became more involved in sport and network facilities. Nowadays, the majority of our work is Network and Pay TV based. 

The OB Group is one of the last niche outside broadcast facilities left in Australia.

Offering full broadcast facilities, we are constantly upgrading and improving our services to meet clients demands. In 2001 our facility was upgraded to widescreen digital. This significantly enhanced the capabilities of the vehicle (see Main Truck). The next addition was the move to digital audio. We  installed a Innovason SY48 mixing console. With unrivalled flexibility and a short learning curve, this desk has proved very popular with operators.

Our main vehicle (digital) is wired for 8 cameras, 6 VTR's, Chyron HyperX (SD and HD) and a 6 Channel EVS-XT2 (HD ready) complete with XFile. Our Digital vision mixer is a Grass Valley Zodiak. This is a 2.5 ME mixer with 8 channels of DVE and a 900 frame still-store with animation. Other features include a colour corrector on every row, separate inputs assignable to every primary button, MACRO's, machine control, and a host of other features. 

Our portable system (fly away) has proved a hit. Of late, it has been doing a lot of screen feeds. These include the Rugby World Cup, kickboxing events and more recently, the Super 12's competition. The mixer is a fully optioned Grass Valley INDIGO-HD and the unit is supplied with 10 LCD monitors. This is a 'go anywhere' unit, and is easy to set-up and operate.

The company has grown from strength to strength and our continual upgrading of facilities keeps our competitive edge.

Based in Sydney, we also provide facilities in Adelaide, Canberra, Melbourne, Gold Coast and Brisbane on a regular basis. 

With well over 2400 outside broadcasts since our inception The OB Group offers vast experience and dedication. Our diversity and experience in broadcasting allows us to cover a wide range of events. From basic conferencing to multi-camera live broadcasting, we have the personnel, expertise and equipment to cover events accordingly.
