Custom Consoles Announces Year Of Strong Demand

Custom Consoles has reported a year of strong demand for its technical control desks across the five market categories which the company addresses: broadcast, network operation control, process control, security/defence and transport.

Now entering its 27th year of sustained expansion, the company experienced a particularly high level of business in the broadcast sector with orders from new and existing customers in Britain and around the world.

Broadcast-related projects included the completion of a major upgrade to the parliamentary television facilities for the national assembly of a nation on the European border with Asia. This included Module-R desks and MediaWalls for the master control room and production gallery plus an additional Module-R desk for audio control. Custom Consoles preassembled the desks and MediaWalls at its UK headquarters and delivered them for onsite installation by the system integrator into the studio control suites

NEP The Netherlands invested in 10 Custom Consoles Module-R technical control desks for a new production facility at its studio headquarters in Hilversum's Media Park. The installation is designed primarily for television coverage of sports events at locations around the globe.

UK-based technical services provider Timeline Television Ltd selected eight Custom Consoles Module-R desks for integration into the newly completed production control rooms and a sound control room at its Ealing Broadcast Centre. All eight desks include downward-facing LEDs located under the worktops. These provide eye-friendly ambient lighting in otherwise dark control room environments without creating reflections in or near the various monitor screens.

Custom Consoles Module-R technical furniture and MediaWall monitor display mounts were chosen for integration into the production control room at the regional studios of one of Europe's longest established television and radio broadcasters. Module-R and MDesk-Technical control room desks plus MediaWall monitor displays were also specified for a newly opened 975 square metre production hub in Scotland. Both projects were supervised by Hampshire-based Dega Broadcast Systems.

Module-R technical furniture and MediaWall multiscreen video displays were supplied and integrated into the production control gallery of a European news TV channel. This included a five-operator main production desk facing a 7.5 metre wide MediaWall. Positioned behind these are two additional forward-facing desks for three and four operators respectively.

Module-R and MediaWall were recommended and integrated by CS Media for a newly-completed corporate video production suite at Elekta’s Cornerstone campus in West Sussex. CS Media also chose Module-R desks for a newly upgraded master control room at its own headquarters in Dorking. CS Media has more than 25 years of experience in creating high-end video content for broadcast, digital media and live streams.

Applied Integration, an internationally active provider of robotic, automated guided vehicle and automation solutions, chose Custom Consoles MDesk-Technical desks for a newly equipped demonstration suite at its headquarters in Stokesley, North Yorkshire.

A large Module-R production control desk was created for the Swiss headquarters of an internationally active NGO. The new desk consists of a wing-shaped corner unit for use by a team of three operators.

MDesk Technical was specified as part of an upgrade to the demonstration resources of a global provider of marine traffic safety and security systems. The facility is being used to promote the company's wide range of coastal monitoring technology to visiting customers.
