The HD-OB-Van that the Japanese government offered to Argentina national broadcaster has arrived to Argentina on October 1st, 2010.
When the HD-OB-Van arrived to the national broadcaster, many people looked on and when the Director Mr. Bauer welcomed the HD-OB-Van, this became an important event for the Argentina national broadcaster.
On November 25th and 26th of 2010, training courses were given by an instructor who came from NHK to teach how to operate the HD-OB-Van. About 20 people participated in this training, such as the Chief of Technical Department, staff in charge of the equipment maintenance as well as staff in charge of the vehicle. The instructor explained an overview of the HD-OB-Van and the operation procedure of the electrical generator and onboard equipments.
