dB Broadcast Unveil BVE Focus

dB Broadcast, a UK independent systems integrator and manufacturer will be showcasing the MERlin DVB-T2 receiver module at Broadcast Video Expo 2012.
MERlin, which was launched in late-2011, has been designed for continuous off air terrestrial reception of DVB-T and DVB-T2 RF signals and 300 units have already been delivered.
dB Secure BSkyB Contract
Other selected products will be on show at the exhibition stand (i53). dB Broadcast will also be using their presence at Broadcast Video Expo to highlight some of the major projects they have undertaken over the past 12 months.
BSkyB continues to expand and dB Broadcast has recently been awarded a further contract to fit out two additional studio floors and one gallery at the Sky Studios facility in West London, bringing the total to seven studios.
The final studio floor is being made ready for use with an OB van on an adhoc basis. This includes extending the studio infrastructure to the OB wallbox designed for this purpose.
Work is underway on the installation of the video production areas within the BBC’s Broadcasting House redevelopment in central London, W1.
The contract covers the design, procurement, installation and commissioning of all equipment for video production located within the studios, galleries, edit suites, graphic areas, newsroom and local apparatus rooms.
There are a number of television studios of different types. The largest studio is 334m2 – double height – and fitted with eight cameras. It is intended to be a flexible studio for a varied range of programmes, and will be equipped with motorised hoists for changing of sets.
In 2009 dB won a four year contract from Arqiva to supply and install Programme Input Equipment (PIE) at 90 UK transmitter sites as part of digital switchover (DSO). With DSO having already taken place in many regions this project will be completed later this year.
Representatives from dB Broadcast will be on hand throughout the exhibition on stand i53 to demonstrate dB’s products and discuss any system or product requirements
