Your Source for Equine Video

Advertise with us! Place an ad on the CVP-TV Network at an upcoming show or shows. It's fast and easy—all it takes is a copy of your logo along with your slogan, if any, and we'll put it in rotation between rides, during arena drags, cattle changes and other breaks during each show day. Depending on the show, there will be at least one live playback monitor located in a high traffic area at the facility that will be watched by riders, owners, grooms and spectators, not just once, but likely several times during the show.

We use Sony DSR-400 video cameras. Many of these rugged workhorses are still in use by news stations throughout the country for live, on location news reporting. It is arguably the best camera in use today for the demands found in horse show video work. It has superior picture quality: • 920 lines of horizontal resolution • Signal to Noise Ratio - 65 db • Powered by 3-2/3 inch, Power HAD CCD's • Minimum Illumination - 0.5 Lux • Vertical Smear - 140 dB This camera is particularly capable in low-light situations such as that found in many fairgrounds arenas and, in these situations outperforms even High Definition (HD) cameras that may be in use. We routinely get comments of astonishment at the quality of the picture from exhibitors and judges. While there are many devices available to manipulate video "downline" from the camera, you cannot improve the original picture being received at the camera lens. This is the picture that your judges will review and, in many cases, what you as show producer are paying for, either in video contractor fees or in NCHA sanctions as outlined in the Official Rule Book. Go with the BEST for your exhibitors and judges! Please contact us for more information.
