SEATTLE: Jonas Jensen Studios, a leading Northwest broadcast and film production facility, has specified Ikegami HDK-790D/79D full digital HDTV cameras for the world's first 720p mobile production unit. The Progressive HD Productions truck is managed, operated, and maintained by Jonas Jensen for Clear Channel Television. It has already seen use for coverage of 2003 Super Bowl, Major League Baseball, as well as concerts by *NSYNC, Heart and Peter Gabriel, among other high-profile events.
