United Kingdom: MultiPlus and associated control gear installed on a Sky News satellite News gathering vehicle

Getting an up-to-the minute story means being responsive and ready to go at any minute. Getting the story edited and broadcasted from what could be some of the most hostile and remote places can be just as difficult. And the one thing that it all depends upon is a reliable power supply. The Phoenix MultiPlus offers the perfect solution. It provides the means to downsize an onboard generator by as much as 50% of what would otherwise be necessary. It also allows sufficient power to support a news crew, full editing suite and satellite transmission equipment.
