  • Patent number: 6497442
    Abstract: A media or recorded event editing, screening, and communications trailer provides portable means by which editing, screening, and communications equipment can be brought on-site or otherwise to provide greater efficiency and less delay in processing film or other media. A large trailer such as that used in tractor/trailer rigs provides the basis for a combined facility incorporating a projection room, a screening area, several editing consoles, a refreshment area, an equipment area, a foyer, and an editing area. Slideouts provide increased interior volume space for greater working comfort yet are sturdy and stable both in their deployed and collapsed conditions. A communications facility incorporated into the trailer provides local and/or global communications networking and access as well as audio, video, and/or audio/video signal communication capacity.

A large trailer such as that used in tractor/trailer rigs provides the basis for a combined facility incorporating a projection room, a screening area, several editing consoles, a refreshment area, an equipment area, a foyer, and an editing area. Slideouts provide increased interior volume space for greater working comfort yet are sturdy and stable both in their deployed and collapsed conditions. For travel, the slideouts slide into the interior of the trailer in order to provide a minimal exterior displacement conforming with interstate highway regulations, and/or the like. Doors with stairs descending and making transition to the ground are provided on each side of the trailer.
