BBC Broadcasting House is synchronised by Crystal Vision

摘要

Systems integrator Dega Broadcast Systems is installing 100 Crystal Vision Indigo 2 frames as part of its ongoing project to provide the central technical areas and infrastructure for the redevelopment of BBC Broadcasting House in London. Dega was appointed as systems integrator for Wl central technical areas following a competitive procurement process under EU regulations, and is using Crystal Vision synchronisers, audio embedders, fibre optic receivers and video and audio distribution amplifiers to help create the 3G-capable backbone for the routing and distribution of programme content. SYNNER-E 3G synchronisers will be used for synchronising the incoming video circuits, and additionally as audio shufflers for sorting out any embedded audio that might be on the wrong track assignment. Working with 3Gbps, HD and SD sources, the multifunctional SYNNER-E 3G combines a video synchroniser, tracking audio delay, embedder, de-embedder and audio processor with optional fibre I/O on one board, and allows the embedding or de-embedding of up to eight AES in any combination as well as special Dolby E processing. An integrated' fibre output on the SYNNER-E 3G boards was selected for this project because using one module to both synchronise the incoming lines and turn them into fibre was the most space-efficient solution.
