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. Our facilities are now fully HD compatible.

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.

2009 - The OB Group goes HD

Our main vehicle (HD/SD) is wired for 8 cameras, 6 VTR's, Chyron HyperX3 (HD/SD) and a 6 Channel EVS-XT2 Plus complete with XFile. Our HD vision mixer is a Sony MVS-6000. Features include resizes, up/down converters, fully assignable buttons, MACRO's, machine control, large Still-store capacity and a host of other features. Our cameras are Sony HSC-300 HD plus our new Link Research HD wireless camera system. Our Chyron is a HyperX3 - Dual channel.

2012 - The OB Group introduces a new expansion truck

Coming soon is our new facility. This will be a 10 camera HD truck with a whole lot of new innovations. Some of the new equipment includes: a Lawo mc56 audio console and a Harris Platinum router.

Our portable system HD (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 For-A complete with built in multi-view monitoring. 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 over 2600 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 facilities to cover events accordingly.
