Hi. Broadcast engineer here with a larger version of this image:

What you're looking at here is a mobile TV satellite truck apparently built in 1995 (but probably updated a bit with time). This is essentially a way to provide uplink for a remote broadcast back to the studio. You'll note a distinct lack of a production video switcher present.

Power control equipment (for running on battery/generator/external power, far left knobs and dials)

Satellite transmitters (the dark blue TDR7 and TDR77 boxes, left side)

Large PVMs for signal analysis, and assorted smaller preview monitors (the little TVs everywhere) for multiple camera feeds

Small utility video switchers

Waveform and Vectorscope (roughly center)

Temperature monitoring for all the equipment

Betacam SP VTR (bottom right, next to the utensils cup)

Patch panels (top right)

Audio mixer (roughly center)

Satellite dish mast and directional control

Grass Valley Group terminal processing equipment

Speakers and Crown amplifier (those things are TANKS)

Plus, it has to not only send video back to the studio, it's gotta receive signals from the studio like instructions, or IFB feeds for the reporters/crew, and sometimes even video feeds to show that things are properly configured.
