dB Broadcast Installs Zeta for ATV
ATV, Jordan’s new independent TV station has gone on air with three Calrec Zeta digital consoles.
The 32 fader, 96 input consoles were installed by leading UK systems' integrator dB Broadcast, and bring the total of Zeta’s in the Middle East to six. In addition to the three to ATV, JRTV in Amman have one console and Al Jazeera in Qatar have two.
dB Broadcast was responsible for the entire multi-million pound technical infrastructure at ATV.
"Calrec focuses exclusively on broadcast. Consequently, it has a deep understanding of the ergonomic and system specifications required for modern broadcast production," says Tom Swan, dB's sales and marketing director.
"Calrec also has a reputation for reliability and provides very good value for money.
"Digital is a more future proof standard and gives considerably more flexibility, which is essential for a new TV station. From a systems integration point of view, there is no need for external sample rate converters and there can be a mix of analogue and digital inputs without the need for external converters.
"A digital desk is easier cable because inputs and outputs are assignable, therefore there is no need to go via Drone, as is necessary with analogue desks."
