Mission critical paths have built in redundancies

From standby battery power to alternatives for video and graphics playout, we've created a one-stop solution that puts your show centre stage, all of the time.

Broadcast
Our dedicated 4-6 SIM bonded cellular radome means we can simultaneously stream an ultra-low latency RTMP feed, as well as deliver dedicated line feeds to broadcast centres.

Streaming
Should venue internet fail, our bonded cellular radome will automatically detect this and load balance the stream between the 4-6 SIMs.

Need a line feed to MCR? Done

Totally connected

Our SDI workflow is fully compatible with the latest third-party connectivity to any network MCR. We partner with existing suppliers of nationwide infrastructure, tapping into fibre tie-lines up and down the country. Or we can connect to remote uplink service providers as standard.

And with 2-way tech and production comms onboard, via a dedicated TBU, we're directly linked to your studio or presentation MCR - all at the touch of a button.

Digital comms, everywhere

Cutting-edge, digital comms at every workstation

We have the ability to configure multiple groups for department comms, individual comms, presenter IFBs, plus network MCR and presentation studio comms. In addition, the system comes with 6 wireless belt-packs for roaming members of the production team.

And, we can dial off-site clients or production staff into the comms system, via Zoom, Skype, or Teams.

The power is in our hands, for 8 minutes

Power to the PPU

Like all mission critical paths, our dedicated Power Rack will keep the show on-air should venue power fail. Our system will remain operational for a full 8 minutes whilst engineering troubleshoot the issue. Your show stays live, and audiences stay engaged.
