Default Eddystone Receiver on Suzuki Advert?

Hello All

Is that an Eddystone receiver at 0:23 in this Suzuki advert, currently being used on ITV?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TI6cL178nu0

best regards ... Stef

Not recognisable as an Eddystone. It has modern clean lines more like a seventies far eastern set.

The video quality in the YouTube link is low-resolution - something like 480p horizontal - desperately-crappy, so I can't ID any of the gear shown.

I'm more interested in the digital stuff [which shows READY]. Perhaps a 4K video version would let us drill-down to ID the kit?

It isn't any Eddystone I've ever seen and gives off a signal generator vibe. Probably a Japanese one that never made it to the UK.

At 0:28 it looks like a bit of test gear for PCM telephony. The cabinet style and panel style looks like Wandel und Goltermann with their W-G logo and name on the bottom of panel blue band painted over.

Peter Scott might be the chap to recognise it.

No comments about the truncated polizei-wagen, please. It's off topic here, so just enjoy it silently.

Yes, Indeed. As a Suzuki owner I posted on the Suzuki forum back in August but got no responses.

The Wandel and Goltermann test gear at 00:28 looks like a PF-4 Bit Error Measuring Set.
