posted:
Global’s Technical Services Director Marc Segar explained: “We decided to go with Direct Out for our audio distribution on Big Brother in 2012 and were on-air 24/7 for 3 months without a single issue. Based on our experience, we designed HD 9’s audio area around various Direct Out processing units and this has now extended to larger projects. Value for money, flexibility and build quality are really important when we are looking for solutions and equipment needs to be adaptable for a variety of different projects during our busy schedule”.

The delivery consisted of more than 20 M.1k2 MADI routers and more than 25 ANDIAMO.XT SRC’s, which use DirectOut analog and AES breakout panels to connect comms and other broadcast equipment to the fibre infrastructure of the overall system. Global TV also chose DirectOut EXBOX.64’s as MADI format converters.
