Studio Production Complex / QVC, Japan

THE BRIEF

Build a studio complex in one of the world’s most active earthquake zones to provide 100% availability 24/7

The first challenge here was design. The customer’s requirement was to be able to be on air 24/7 regardless. The system even had to be seismically rated to withstand earthquakes. The complex consisted of 5 HD studios with 24 cameras, 10 edit suites, 2 audio rooms, 2 PCRs and a large MCR.

Every studio has internal built-in redundancy in both audio and video and the large studios and PCRs can be exchanged with a single switch. For added security all mission critical devices are under control of a unified control and monitoring system.

The system was completed and went on air on time and now broadcasts 24/7 without interruption, even by earthquakes!
