MBC South Korea to Use KSC CORE System in 4K OB Van

KSC CORE, the broadcast control and monitoring solution developed by German systems integrator BFE, was chosen to be used in their new 4K OB van for the Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation (MBC). The South Korean company is one of the country’s leading broadcasters and uses its fleet of OB vans to report on top sports events and news throughout the country.

The implementation for the OB van is scheduled to start end of July. The South Korean systems integrator MBC C&I, part of the MBC group, together with BFE and its South Korean partner Dong Wha AV, will act quickly to integrate KSC CORE into the OB van. The system will play a key role in the vehicle’s setup by controlling and monitoring the broadcast infrastructure as well as 10 4K cameras.

“The project marks the premiere of BFE in South Korea and was made possible by our partner Dong Hwa AV.”, says Jürgen Loos, Director of Sales & Marketing at BFE. “We are looking forward to see our first KSC CORE system deployed in a South Korean OB van.”
