They also delivers TV, radio and streaming services to the French-speaking part of Belgium, loved by all audiences of all ages. RTBF will use these trucks for its wide range of sports and entertainment shows.

The truck includes a Sony XVS-8000 vision mixer, Konvision monitors, Lawo V Matrix C100 core processing, Arista 100G core network, Lawo mc256 audio console, Genelec and Fostex speakers, Riedel Artist intercom and Lawo VSM control.
