NEP, ASIAN TOUR MEDIA GO LIVE WITH ASIA'S MAIDEN GOLF REMOTE PRODUCTION

 

KUALA LUMPUR, May 17 (Bernama) -- With a successful delivery of HSBC Women’s World Championship golf in Singapore and the Honda LPGA Thailand production as a new proof of concept, NEP Singapore and Asian Tour Media have registered Asia’s first live-to-air remote production.

According to a statement, NEP Singapore will unveil its new transformational commitment to bring Remote Production to South East Asia.

Remote Production is a hybrid method of broadcasting, based on Internet Protocol (IP) technology. Locating equipment follows a distributed model in which IP provides the connectivity as opposed to physical cables.

President of NEP Singapore and India, Saeed Izadi said: “Innovation is the engine of our progress and I support it with a passion. Our brand focuses on being creative and ambitious — all of the design and implementation were done entirely by our in-house engineers and with the support of our global expertise in NEP.”

“Traditionally, we used to build TV control rooms with our fly-pack where the event was happening, being a golf course, a cricket stadium, racetrack or any sporting venue. It has always been logistics heavy.

“With this mould-breaking approach, we are able to reduce the volume of the broadcasting equipment at the venue tremendously, keeping the core of the system at base.”

Remote Production is more environmentally friendly. It addresses the pressing challenge caused by the COVID pandemic to meet safety requirements and provide social distancing, allowing crew to collaborate remotely and while based on different locations worldwide.

Completion of this event marks an important step forward in NEP’s strategic goal to become the worldwide leader in Centralised (Remote) Production and to deliver an expanding portfolio of cloud-based and virtualised production solutions and products.

 The company has an expanding network of connected centralised production facilities and datacentres worldwide, and it will continue to expand this network over the coming year.
