Satellite Uplinks and MPU's

the challenge

American Online Retailer ‘Evine’ who have their own television network were coming to Ireland for the first time to celebrate their 9 year anniversary selling Waterford Crystal. They wanted to broadcast live from multiple locations with tight turnarounds and they had the extra challenge of audience time differences which also had to be factored in.

the solution

We prepared a detailed project plan which scheduled the dedicated Digisat team of highly skilled technicians, engineers and cameramen to work a number of shifts over each 24 hour period across 5 days and we pre-rigged one of our MPU’s to allow the team greater flexibility. This in turn ensured we met the multiple deadlines of each live broadcast.

the results

Working closely together EVINE and Digisat broadcast a total of 22 hours of live broadcasts to some 88 Million viewers across the USA from The House of Waterford Crystal, The Bishop’s Palace and Waterford Castle. - ‘Your team were stellar, everything went great and I look forward to working with everyone again.’ commented Greg Jennings VP Production Services.
