Beijing TV completes move into HD production

China’s Beijing TV (BTV) chose the Solid State Logic C100 HDS Digital Broadcast Console to complete its move into HD production of sports and interview programs at its new production facility, Studio HD 2.

Broadcasting to more than 800 million viewers across China, BTV offers 12 standard-definition and three high-definition broadcast channels, as well as delivering Internet and mobile television services, solidstatelogic.com reports.

“When we were building this new facility, we wanted to have an advanced digital audio console to facilitate our move into an HD production workflow,” says Yin Zhuang Yao, audio section chief, Production Department, BTV. 

“Because this studio is primarily devoted to the production of sports programming, covering everything from live events in China to high-level international competitions as well as talking-head type pre- and post-show interview programs, we have a multitude of audio streams coming in from all over the world. The logical, intuitive layout of the C100 makes easy work of each production, giving us the power to easily move through every programming type.” he added.
