Proof of Concept

Switch TV, Kenya

The Challenge

Broadcast Solutions implemented a new HD TV-studiofacility for Switch TV, a brand new channel from Nairobi, Kenya.

We acted as the main main contracting partner for this unique project. The Station is a new non-prot subsidiary of the Kenya Red Cross and is targeting the group of 18-35 olds to educate and to entertain them.

The Solution

The program includes live shows and news programs and is one of the most modern studios on the continent up to date.

Therefore Switch TV required a studio with four sets including a green box, with Sony studio and remotely operated cameras, ARRI LED lighting and a newsroom and post-production system. Apart from the broadcast equipment, Broadcast Solutions delivered the IT infrastructure for the supporting oggice with 50 workplaces. All systems were tested, configured and pre-installed in-house before sending them to Nairobi to enable faster and smoother on-site installation. The overall planning and implementation, from assignment to going live, took six months only.

The Benefit

With this HD TV-station in Nairobi, using the latest technologies and workflows, Broadcast Solutions enabled Switch TV to produce cutting-edge content for the East-African region.

With planning and preinstallation taking place in-house in the Broadcast Solutions Hungary facility, implementation of the project took just six month, without any hick-ups in installation nor daily production.
