Danmon Finishes TV 2 Studio
D

anmon Systems recently
completed a new HD news
studio at the Odense headquarters
of Danish TV network TV 2 /
DANMARK A/S.
“Upgrading the TV 2 news service
from standard-deﬁnition to highdefinition presented a logical
opportunity to install a more visually
attractive and versatile on-screen
environment,” said Kjeld Skovlund,
Head of Development at TV 2.
“The new studio is located inside
a large gallery with the main
presentation sets at one end and
the weather presentation area at
the other. Camera facilities include
three robotic pedestals and a
Steadicam system.”
Skovlund said: “Production of
daily news programmes is coordinated within the newsroom via
an LSB Virtual Studio Manager and
Mosart news automation system.
“This gives our operators access
to control panels, interfaces
and external devices via an IP
infrastructure linked to a VSM-

interfaces, Genelec monitors,
Miranda glue, plus Omneon and
EVS studio servers.
The live news set includes
an 11-metre ultra-wide screen
illuminated by Barco projectors
and provides creative options for
studio programming.
The project also involved
construction of a separate control
gallery to handle special events.

NTV-PLUS became Calrec’s
ﬁrst customer in Russia when it
purchased its ﬁrst two Artemis Beam
desks last year.
Oleg Kolesnikov, CTO at NTVPLUS, said: “We focus heavily
on live sports production, so we
need a versatile system with robust
equipment we can count on.
“We purchased our ﬁrst Calrec
consoles last year to use during
Wimbledon and then rented three
consoles during the London Games.
“We were impressed, so now we’re
upgrading all of our studios to Calrec.
“Being able to route audio
signals and share consoles
across all of our studios gives us
complete redundancy.”
