Great Success for Broadcast Innovation Days in South East Asia

We were very excited about this new endeavour and their success showed us that this was the right decision. We experienced great interest in our products and services and met many professionals from the local broadcast businesses with whom we discussed future trends in detail.”

“These events proved how much interest and commitment there is in the Asia-Pacific region to create professional, cutting-edge broadcast facilities,” said Terence Teng, VP of Sales and General Manager for IHSE APAC. “IHSE’s KVM solutions are becoming established globally as a vital part of today’s broadcast and post-production infrastructures and invaluable in streamlining the broadcast workflow by delivering flexibility, security and convenience to operators throughout the industry.

We certainly look forward to more of this type of event with Broadcast Solutions GmbH”, Boon Siong, VP Technical Sales, Singapore Representative Office, Lawo International GmbH.
