Advanced Broadcast Services takes on multi-lingual shopping channel

Advanced Broadcast Services has won the contract for the playout of TVINS, the first pan-Nordic shopping channel.
TVINS broadcasts 24/7 to Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden on the Canal Digital Platform. TVINS presented a special challenge as it broadcasts in all four languages simultaneously, which needed multilingual teletext and audio subcarriers.
Henrik Haagen, Director at TVINS, said: “We chose Advanced Broadcast Services for the playout because we are a small company and we need to work with partners who are experts in their field. Advanced Broadcast Services offered the best service at the most competitive price, and they were very helpful right from the start. They were also prepared to be flexible which was very important to us as it meant we got the product we wanted without having to compromise. They also got the whole thing up and running in only a few days.”
Sass Jahani, Managing Director of Advanced Broadcast Services, said: “TVINS was not straight forward because it’s multilingual. However, we had the technology and could do the job. We also pride ourselves on our flexibility and am delighted that we could give TVINS the exact service they needed.”
