Danmon Delivers New UHD Channel
Danmon Group has delivered Scandinavia's first UHD television channel for ViaSat Sport.
ViaSat is part of the Modern Times Group and is based at its headquarters in Stockholm.
Through the channel, ViaSat Sport will transmit live sport events in UHD to viewers throughout the Nordic region. The channel commenced with the Rio Olympics, with MTG being the official Rio Olympics 2016 broadcaster for Sweden. ViaSat Sport will also transmit specially produced UHD sports content such as soccer via the SES-5 satellite for ViaSat customers throughout Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland.
In addition, Danmon also built a further HD Sports channel – ViaSat Sport Premium.
Both projects were coordinated through the local Danmon Sweden office and implemented by Danmon Systems. They include three new rooms: UHD editing and control, voiceover and HD Sports control. There was also an extensive upgrade of ViaSat's existing DHD audio mixer and Imagine Platinum video router, plus a rebuild of the Pebble Beach Neptune automation system.
Building and testing were completed by Danmon in just over a month, on time and on budget. The new system went on air earlier this month.
