not quite there yet, but once we can
use a single cable 12G system, then
4K will become a lot more desirable
for broadcasters," says Moorhouse.
According to Sebastián Wainberg -
General Product Manager, Promovisa,
Spain - business over the past year
has been 'interesting'.
"The direct action from the crisis
in the broadcast and the media
production industry in general, along
with the reductions in the advertising
business, created huge constraints
in the budgets - not to mention the
payment terms.
"This led managers to accept very
tangible risks in their systems, by
not renewing their maintenance
contracts or replacing very outdated components."

Cisco, VMware, EMC and Qlogic has
taken place. It involved concentrating

to increase performance, produce
energy savings and provide ease of
administration.
SIS LIVE Managing Director
David Meynell is encouraged by
the business generated over the
past year: "It has been really good,
with a lot of new SI contracts, mainly
truck builds. We have also completed
much studio integration work for our
parent company."
Meynell confirms that most work
