ATG Danmon creates television infrastructure with IP capabilities in Singapore

A financial services corporation based in the United States has decided to rely on ATG Danmon for the implementation of a television production system in its branch in Singapore.

The new installation, already active, is being used to increase the visibility of the company through social networks, the dissemination of podcasts online, the participation in television programs related to finances and to promote audiovisual communication between the different headquarters of the group throughout the world. Paul Shonfeld, head of sales at ATG Danmon, confirms that this type of project is a growing trend among the corporate world, and more particularly for this client: "This project is the most recent in a series of studios that we have designed, equipped and integrated over several years for this client in the United Kingdom, continental Europe and Asia. (...) The rewards in terms of return on investment are enormous, as they allow the organization to make full use of the World Wide Web and participate in television programs related to finance."

ATG Danmon's approach to this initiative in Singapore has been to select and integrate a selection of “quality solutions to very affordable prices"To do this, the firm has used a internet based connectivity, which allows you to control and supervise production in the studio itself or remotely from practically anywhere. This allows us to have a space with space for a small set with presenters and guests, but also with the possibility of selectively monitoring and accessing the images of the guests connected remotely through channels such as Skype y Zoom. For this process, ATG Danmon proposed a solution that included a PTZ remote controllable camera on a height-adjustable motorized column oriented to a virtual set. The project has also covered lighting, teleprompter and audio elements.

IP is another axis of this initiative, as Shonfeld explains: "Following conversations with the client's head of studios in London, we recommended a system based on the remote contribution model, which has long been common practice in broadcast. This system is fully compatible with bidirectional IP connectivity between the different hubs." "The NDI system is used to send pan/tilt/zoom/focus camera control data as well as tally signals to the remote cameras and return the video to the production gallery. It is a very efficient solution that transports a large amount of information over a VPN connection," concludes the ATG Danmon sales manager.
