Following its installation of two Artemis Beams and one Artemis Light console last year, Hong Kong broadcaster TVB Hong Kong has purchased a Calrec Brio12 – its tenth Calrec console to date.
Part of the broadcaster’s ongoing audio technology upgrade, the Brio12 is being used as a portable console – most recently for live sports events including the 2019 Tissot UCI Track Cycling World Cup and the SixDay Series PRURide cycling event that took place in Hong Kong last month.
TVB is also using Calrec’s Hydra2 networking and additional Dante and Madi I/O cards: ‘Connecting via fibre, it’s easy to change the I/O cards to accommodate different productions,’ says TVB Hong Kong Studio Production Department/Assistant Manager, Law Yui Wah. ‘We’re using Madi for our intercom connection and Dante cards for signal interchanging between a PA console and the broadcast console. The Brio12 is small enough for us to use portably yet offers enough connectivity and power, surpassing other consoles on the market in this price range. This is what makes Calrec stand out from the competition.’
‘By being able to move the Brio around, TVB Hong Kong is taking advantage of the true benefits of the Brio’s versatility as a compact console that doesn’t compromise on quality,’ says Calrec International Sales Manager, Anthony Harrison. ‘TVB is proving that product performance and price point are at the top of its purchasing decisions when it comes to audio consoles.’
The console commissioning was handled by Calrec’s Hong Kong distributor, Jolly Pro Audio.
