JVC qualify for 8th All Africa Games

After many months of negotiations, JVC have been awarded a multi-million pound contract by the Federal Government of Nigeria to provide a full broadcast turnkey system for the 8th All Africa Games.
These games will take place in and around Abuja, Nigeria, from October 4-18 2003.
JVC are already one of the leading providers of broadcast television equipment in the region, where many broadcasters are using both D-9 and Professional DV equipment for local production work.
For the All Africa Games project JVC have entered into partnership with a number of other international suppliers, to ensure that the best possible broadcast solution is provided for what has become the most important event in the pan African sporting calendar.
While the JVC D-9 digital production format will be used as the core of the broadcast systems, other companies providing equipment include Continental Microwave, EVS Broadcast Equipment, Fujinon, Ianiro Lighting & Equipment, Hitachi Denshi, Pinnacle Systems, Quartz, Snell & Wilcox and Vinten Broadcast.
Local support and training will be provided by both JVC and their main agent in Nigeria, International Broadcast Services & Training.
