Doordarshan installs AEQ intercom systems across
two main production centres in New Delhi
D
oordarshan is
public
India's
television company, built
public
on
broadcaster Prasar Bharati.
It manages television channels at
a national, regional and local level
in open signal, cable and satellite
platforms, which makes it one of the
largest
television networks in the
world.
In New Delhi it has its two main
production centers: DD News is the
production center of the Doordarshan
National News Channel, it is the only
24-hour terrestrial
television news
channel in India. CPC is a production
center for General Programs with 4
studios A, B, C and D. In both centers
a new digital intercom system was
needed to communicate in each
studio the producer and director
with
the
cameras, manager
and
studio assistant, presenters, lighting
technicians, sound technicians, CCU,
and general center services such as
VCR, graphics, etc.
During 2021, with the travel
restrictions imposed by the Covid-19
pandemic, Doordarshan, AEQ and
local distributor in India Falcon
Broadcast Solutions had to carry
out
the
installation,
commissioning and
entire manufacturing,
acceptance,
training
process remotely between Madrid
and the two centers in New Delhi.
AEQ located in its Madrid offices
created
an intercom platform
equivalent to the one sent, with the
Conexia matrix, panels, beltpacks,
concentrators, etc. In this way, and
thanks
to the means
of
remote
control of the equipment and video
conferences, the AEQ technical staff
was able to carry out the necessary
tasks for start-up and training from
Madrid. AEQ's Crossmapper realtime
control
and
configuration
program allowed real-time control
and supervision from Madrid of the
operations in Delhi.
The AEQ intercom system has great
configuration flexibility. Even though
the AEQ intercom system usually
uses high quality Dante combined
AoIP connectivity with G722 / G711
for low bit rate transmissions, due
to an express requirement of system
design, for reasons of simplicity of
configuration and maintenance, DD
preferred
the digital
connection.
point-to-point for the wired panels
in rack format and point-to-point
high-quality analog connection for
the rest of the wired and wireless
beltpacks and CCUs (intercom hubs
with camera operators).
Also by design requirement, the
redundancy was
widest
installed,
so that most of the possible causes
of failure do not prevent the global
operation of
the entire system,
and very few causes can cause
very localized interruptions that
affect only very small parts of the
system and never to complete
sub-systems.
and matrix
Thus, intercom
controllers
were
supplied with redundant and hotswappable
elements that
allow
any intervention in the system
without the need to stop the
operation.
On behalf of AEQ, Roberto Tejero, as
the Technical Manager of the Project,
said " Throughout these hard months
we have carried
out
configuration and distance training
tasks, but it is the first time that we
have developed a Project
magnitude without
traveling.
of this
This
opens up a new way of working that
will allow us to solve it if any problem
arises as if it occurred in a station in
Madrid. Their eyes will be our eyes
and their hands will be ours, and the
solutions will be the same as if we
were to move. "
