Upcoming Trade Shows Köln, Germany for Broadcast, Multimedia

Cologne’s broadcast and multimedia industry is about to enter a brand new era thanks to a major, groundbreaking collaboration between Broadcast Solutions and NEP Germany, which will turn the city into a focal point for cutting-edge innovations. The two industry giants have joined forces to design and implement a sophisticated remote production environment for Dyn Media, a new sports network poised to completely change the rules of live broadcasting. What’s changed? Broadcast Solutions has provided NEP Germany with six venue kits, which are truly the definition of state of the art. These compact units, housed in flight cases, boast a core rack and three stage boxes connected via fibre optics. Equipped with SMPTE ST 2110 standard equipment, including cameras, mini-cams, microphones and audio sources, these kits ensure seamless coverage of outside broadcasts with minimal setup time and manpower, which reduces operational costs and carbon footprint by a significant margin. The signals captured by these venue kits are seamlessly routed to NEP Germany’s headquarters in Munich, where a state-of-the-art infrastructure awaits. Here, Broadcast Solutions has constructed two large control rooms featuring Grass Valley Kula switchers, alongside a central equipment room and a network operation centre (NOC) overseeing signal management across arenas, Cologne, Munich and a number of digital platforms. Notably, Dyn Media, headquartered in Cologne, benefits from this cutting-edge setup with one large gallery and three small control rooms designed and built to perfection. By sharing hardware resources with Munich, Dyn Media ensures consistent functionality across locations while also optimizing capital expenditure and energy consumption. The collaborative effort between NEP Germany and Broadcast Solutions extends beyond these kits. Broadcast Solutions assumes full responsibility, when it comes to system design, installation and commissioning for the audiovisual equipment as well as facility infrastructure essentials such as air conditioning, fire protection, and backup systems.
