AUSTRALIA: A Solid State Logic C100 HDs digital broadcast console was chosen for GTV 9’s new production facility in Melbourne. Chosen to streamline production workflow, Steve Delmenico, (resource manager for GTV) said that the new purchase gives the studio ‘a powerful platform that is highly-reliable, flexible and expandable whilst delivering great sound’.
‘The GTV-9 studio complex produces live or near-live programming 365 days a year, covering all types of productions,’ explained Mr Delmenico. ‘The new facilities were designed to give us more production capability within a fine-tuned smaller space. Choosing the C100 console was straightforward as our engineering staff are very experienced with SSL consoles.
‘We really appreciate the workflow benefits that the fibre optic connections in the C100 provide,’ Mr Delmenico continued. ‘With SSL’s Madi-based converters and remote mic pres, we can easily deliver audio from any stage to the console, and that greatly enhances our production options. We have been broadcasting in both stereo and 5.1 surround and, once again, the C100 gives us the flexibility to create both mixes at the same time,’ he said.
‘GTV-9 is primarily responsible for serving the Victoria market in Australia, and the C100 elegantly helps us to fulfill that service mandate,’ he enthused.
GTV-9 produces a local and a nationally distributed daily news program, a weekly children’s program and sports programming.
