Broadcast Rentals' New Facility

Look for Broadcast Rentals' new facility in the summer of '06. Conveniently located at the SR143 and University Drive in Tempe, Arizona, the building will accommodate Broadcast Rentals' need for expansion.

"After 12 years of continuous grow, it was time to find a better, easy to find location...one that would be centrally located in the Phoenix metro area and close to Sky Harbor Airport. We also wanted a building that would accommodate future expansion. We will occupy about a third of the 20,000 square feet of space and offer rental space for the rest". Deborah Smith, Co-Owner.

"The new building will give us more room for staging, pulling and checking out equipment… to make workflow more efficient. The added space will allow us to grow as we continue to offer the highest possible level of service for our clients". Stephen "OZ" Oslund, Co-Owner.

The facility will improve access for customers loading and unloading equipment. In addition, Broadcast Rentals will be offering a dedicated editing suite with HD compatible Final Cut Pro 5 with Motion and Production Suite. Output will be available to any digital video format. This flexible editing facility will offer clients the ability to edit on their own, or with the assistance of a Broadcast Rentals technician.

Broadcast Rentals new location: 2305 West University, Tempe, AZ.

Featured Equipment
10,000 Lumen Theater Projector

The EIKI LC-XT3 XGA Theater Projector delivers an impressive 10,000 ANSI Lumens brightness from a 2-man transportable that runs on 15 amp "household" current.

The LC-XT3's high brightness results from the use of a 4 x 250 Watt UHP lamp system, which provides stable illumination and color temperature over the life of the lamps. The result is illumination uniformity of 90%, and an impressive 1100:1 contrast ratio.

The LC-XT3 incorporates professional features, including 5-BNC and DVI-I data inputs, compatibility with all HD video standards, digital video noise reduction, and enhanced progressive scan circuitry with compatibility up to 1080i with 2-3 pull down support.

Inputs are modular, for rapid reconfiguration. In addition to the standard data and video input modules, an Up converter video module, HD-SDI and SD-SDI decoders, and a PjNET network interface are available.

The LC-XT3 projects images up to 40' wide, and accepts a range of zoom and fixed focus lenses, both manual and powered, ranging from 0.8:1 to 9.5:1.


HD VTR with Fire wire

The Panasonic AJ-HD1200A HD is the world's first VTR to offer HD input and output via an IEEE 1394 digital interface.

The compact, AC/DC-powered AJ-HD1200A is ready for a host of active
uses. 

This versatile HD VTR plays all DVCPRO formats (both NTSC and PAL),
including DVCPRO HD-LP, and can down-convert HD signals for output as SD signals, allowing its use as both an HD and SD viewer.

With its 1080/24p (25p) conversion and output function for Varicam sources, the AJ-HD1200A meets needs in HD cinema production.

Easy to Operate Switcher

The Sony DFS-700A is an ideally proportioned, easy-to-operate switcher incorporating the latest digital multi effects. It offers the precision of full component digital processing, all the creativity of hundreds of preset special effects, and the flexibility of 16:9 or 4:3 operation.

The DFS-700A accommodates a wide range of signal input/output requirements. The DFS-700A is well suited for a wide range of applications including Post Production, EFP/ENG, Live Production and Sports.

Input options include additional SDI, analog component, analog composite and Y/C (S-Video).

Multiple Format Outputs. SDI, Analog Component, Analog Composite, Y/C.

Faces Behind the Service
At Broadcast Rentals, superior service is only as good as the people who deliver it. To this end we are proud to feature team members from our Phoenix and San Diego offices.
Dave Weise , Phoenix office

Dave is originally from Kailua Ohahu, Hawaii. Prior to joining Broadcast Rentals, Dave studied for his Associate Arts degree in video production. His planning, staging, set-up and technical knowledge are derived from 6 years of experience with the Audio-Visual industry in the Phoenix hotel and resort market.
Dave recognized the opportunity offered at Broadcast Rentals to expand his knowledge in video production and event support. He is now in charge of all staging of shows, A/V events, crewing, and production coordination for live events. He fields many of the questions on projection related issues.

In Dave's words, "… Sharing my knowledge and helping customers understand the equipment that they are renting from us is key…thinking creatively and sharing whatever knowledge I have. A large part of what I do from day to day is offering lessons on the gear that we work with. This gives clients "hands-on" experience with the equipment and it supports our efforts here at Broadcast Rentals because they will come back to use the gear that they have become accustomed to using".

Dave is an avid gardener, enjoys cooking new recipes and adds to his tattoos when time allows. Favorite movie(s): Star Wars.
