Sony MVP Compact TV Production Trailer

The MVP Mobile Video Producer is a complete HDTV production facility in a compact 29' tow-able vehicle. The MVP is capable of being transported by any vehicle with standard class 3 hitching equipment. This provides for tremendous flexibility and eliminates the cost of a dedicated cab or tractor, thus giving the MVP a smaller footprint and greater maneuverability.


Despite its small size, the MVP couples flexibility with no-compromise features and a no-compromise equipment complement that can be found at all major production events, from all the major sporting events, including the International Summer and Winter games, to entertainment shows like the Grammy Awards, Emmy Awards, the Oscars and late-night TV, to episodic television production to live stage productions, and on and on. The MVP is easily operated by trainees, yet meets the most stringent professional operators' standards.

1. Pre-Production
