JiangSu Broadcasting Corporation (JSBC) in Nanjing, P.R. China, one of the top ten provincial TV stations in China, is building a 36-story TV center and expects to begin operation by June 2008. Amid strong competition, NVISION won the bid for the TV center’s routing and presentation switcher systems, meeting the requirements for efficient, highly reliable, and cost-effective broadcasting systems. The sale of NVISION’s systems, which are to be the foundation of JSBC’s broadcast infrastructure, was made through NVISION’s master dealer in China, Lively Digital Technology. The purchase includes the NV8256 Plus Large-Scale Router with SD/HD capability, NV5128 Digital Video Router, NV9000 Router Control System, NV9601/NV9640 Router Control Panels, and the NV5128MC Multi-Channel Master Control Switcher.
Chuck Meyer, president and CEO of NVISION, stated, “Our continuing technology leadership in broadcasting systems, and our commitment to highly reliable, scaleable solutions that enable lower total cost of ownership, have enabled NVISION to meet JSBC’s high standards for its long-term broadcast infrastructure. JSBC is now well prepared for today’s broadcasting needs, as well as future programming and expansion.”
