When a fire

trusted BIG for redesigning
and rebuilding their beloved production center, which
has witnessed important moments
in the history of Jamaica.
BIG delivered a fully digital control room featuring
a Grass Valley Kayak switcher, Sony Cameras, Chyron Duet
and a flexible design that allow CPTC’s personnel
to accommodate
the needs of their many and diverse clientele using CPTC’s
facility.
Additionally, BIG provided the complete Studio

“Faced
with the worldwide move to digital production,
we decided to leap forward from the existing [analog]
state of television in our country to a first-class
digital facility that would successfully blend
our Latin style of television work with a tapeless,
server-based, content-shared environment,: said
Gomez-Diaz.
“We did not want technology to overwhelm our
work style or philosophy and we feel we succeeded
in making our production and news operations faster,
fresher, and more stylish,” he added. “The
equipment choices we made reaffirmed our leadership
position and ensure our investment.” |
