BSG Invests In Axon's Synapse Range

Axon Digital Design has been selected by Singapore-based Broadcast Solutions Group (BSG) as it upgrades its flyaway systems to incorporate Dolby Digital.

After extensive testing, BSG invested in Axon Synapse Dolby E Encoders (DBE08) and Multiformat Dolby Stream Decoders (DBD28), and these are being deployed in flyaway kits around the globe where they are helping to capture live events destined for High Definition broadcast.

As an international OB provider and the largest supplier of HD facilities and crew in Asia, BSG demands the highest quality from all of the equipment manufacturers it works with.

"Within our business, we had a very stringent spec to follow to deliver the best quality production to our clients," says Mr Saaed Izadi, CEO of Broadcast Solutions Group. "We tested many systems on the market and decided to go with AXON's Synapse Dolby solution as it perfectly fits our mission-critical needs."

"Our flyaway kit needs to be moved from one place to another within a very short time frame," Mr Izadi adds. "Equipment for these must be compact, reliable, robust and capable of withstanding extreme weather conditions. We are pleased with Axon's product quality, and with the technical support provided by its Singapore Branch office."

With headquarters in Singapore and offices in Malaysia, India, Abu Dhabi and the UK, BSG provides a range of enterprise broadcasting equipment and services for every aspect of production. Its outside broadcast solutions are based on flyaway systems that allow the efficient creation of an individually tailored and high quality production environment, anywhere in the world. These systems have been used to cover a variety of news and entertainment programming, including the FIFA World Cup Asian Qualifiers and other major sporting events.

Felix Ng, Axon's Sales Director for South East Asia, says: "AXON's Synapse signal processing product line is ideally suited to BSG's needs. Our DBD28 Dolby multi format decoder, for example, has a quad speed ADD-ON audio bus and is capable of decoding Dolby E, Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus. The enhanced feature set includes the ability to decode 7.1-channel Dolby Digital Plus or 5.1-ch Dolby Digital 5.1 with audio description, carried in a single bitstream (Single PID), or as two bitstreams (Dual PID)."
