Bahrain TV of the Ministry of Information Affairs have two new medium-sized Outside Broadcast vans (OB vans) with two Lawo IP-based mc² audio production consoles in the audio control rooms and a VSM Broadcast Control System architecture for the overall control in both OBs. They are part of the framework governing the modernization process of the direct TV broadcasting system. Dubai-located system integrator Broadcast & Studio Solutions (BSS) equipped the OB vans with high-definition TV broadcasting technologies, following the most stringent international specifications, security, and safety standards, to allow the vans to cover all official events, exhibitions, conferences as well as local and international sporting events with maximum efficiency and top quality.
The audio infrastructure integrates a 48-fader Lawo mc²56 audio production console with 384 DSP channels, a routing capacity of 5120x5120 mono channels, plus local I/Os directly available at the audio desk. An additional mc² Compact I/O system provides an abundance of remote I/Os for high-profile productions. The smaller OB van carries a compact but powerful 24-fader mc²36, again with a multitude of remote and local I/Os controlled by 192 DSP channels via a 512x512 matrix.
The project that started on-site on January 1, 2021, was concluded by mid-January. The handover with some prominent guests took place on February 1, 2021.
