Seven relies on KRONE for its new digital broadcasting centre
KRONE provides the infrastructure for the distribution of AES digital, audio, analogue and linear timecode
When the Seven Network established its
state-of-the-art digital broadcast centre, it selected KRONE
Australia's AccessNET™products as the basis for its
television infrastructure
The new facility operates as the central
broadcasting facility for the Seven Network,
Australia's largest commercial television
organisation The site is adjacent to the Telstra
Dome within the developing Docklands precinct
The Australian Broadcasting Authority has allocated
digital broadcasting licences to Seven for its
television services in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane,
Adelaide, Perth and regional Queensland Seven's
Broadcast Centre, Melbourne (7BCM) now controls
distribution of analogue and digital broadcasting on
a national basis thus achieving its goal of full
centralisation
At present, 7BCM produces all of the network's
on-air programming requirements for all states with
each feed comprising separate analogue (PAL),
digital and clean components for the regional
affiliates The Melbourne News operation has also
been incorporated at the centre New additions to
the compliment of digital channels include Channel
77 for Melbourne and Sydney audiences
Television systems integrator, Thomson Multimedia,
was commissioned by the Seven Network to build
the centre, progressively expanding digital
broadcasting capabilities on a national basis For
Thomson, Dieter Hoehler is the Project Manager
responsible for the ongoing project, working with
Seven Network Broadcast Systems Engineering
Manager, John Albiston John Albiston reports to
Project Manager Andrew Anderson (Seven), the
local Project Manager for Thomson is Volker
Berchtenbreiter (Thomson Multimedia) KRONE's
representative on the project is Victorian AccessNET Key Account Manager, Doug Montgomery
"The KRONE solution is operating in the Digital Broadcast Centre in Melbourne as well as in Seven's Sydney Broadcast Centre," said Mr Hoehler
Mr Albiston comments: "The KRONE installation at both sites is used in the distribution of AES digital audio, analogue and linear timecode As such, the audio component of all programming which is broadcast by the Seven Network throughout Australia is passed via this KRONE infrastructure It
is also extensively used for the Seven Melbourne News Operation at the Broadcast Centre

"We considered a number of alternative solutions
but decided KRONE was the best choice for the task
because of its flexibility
"KRONE also was selected based on our prior use of
and exposure to the product which had been used
by Seven at its older broadcasting sites Our
experience of working with KRONE in the past
meant there were no unexpected implementation
issues and everything went as planned
"The long-standing reputation of the company was
also important to us," added Mr Hoehler
Commenting on the project, KRONE's National
Sales Manager - AccessNET, Rob Cross, said: "Our
research and customer feedback tells us the reason
KRONE has become the industry standard for
communications networks in Australia is our
reputation for quality, reliability and performance
It's certainly rewarding when such a major
customer as the Seven Network selects us again, on
those criteria, to help it achieve the challenge of
digital broadcasting."
