    TR-01 operation and use-cases are trifold: DIT, Dailies Processing and VTR/Village. For mobile solutions an additional retrofitted magliner junior cart accompanies TR01 for dual 24” monitors, and mobile silent power via a 3600W EcoFlow Delta Pro. Additionally, for remote shoots the EcoFlow can be charged via additional solar panels.

  • The DXM-01 can deploy within 30 minutes of arrival to location fully built. 01 best suites scenarios in which DXM preps with camera and in unison triage at wrap into a camera truck for deployment on location.

  • The DXM-01 is purpose built for terrain where most carts cannot go and may be modified with all terrain wheels as well as beach tires making it a great infrastructure choice for navigating more challenging exterior locations without sacrificing toolset.

    The DXM-01 fits within all ADA compliant doors but with extended top shelf installed will be problematic in smaller interior locations. It is recommended for the standard shelf if shooting in tight spaces.

  • The DXM-01 comes equipped with essential gear for various shooting conditions, including a 4x4x4 blackout tent to combat harsh sunlight and heavy-duty rain protection for inclement weather days. It's adaptable and tailored to suit the specific needs of each project. Additionally, the DXM-01 offers the capability to accommodate up to four 24" monitors, with two facing the operator and two positioned in the opposite direction. This versatility makes it an appealing choice for hybrid scenarios, allowing VTR, DIT, and Village to travel together seamlessly.

    The DXM-01 is versatile and adaptable, catering to the requirements of a technical hub while offering a secure haven for the DP, Gaffer, Director, and script supervisor to concentrate on creative decisions within the confines of a dedicated station, where budget and space permit. It can be outfitted with personalized drawers to accommodate the team members using the station, offering extra power and workspace for reviewing footage and conducting their tasks.
