Each project requires different preparation
and a different technical solution. Unlike in large companies, solutions are independent of manufacturers and existing inventory.
The emphasis is on customers having good understanding of all aspects of the proposed concept and possible alternative solutions.
The choice of solution is optimized together with the customer and based on his project needs.
Our core team designs and prepares the project in the pre-sales phase, optimizes it together with the client, and some one from this team also leads our on-site operation.
This ensures the continuity of presentation of solutions and documentation for individual clients, which are all tailor-made.
The documentation is developed during the project, maintaining the continuity of the format.
Every customer and every Major Event is unique, therefore the principle is to apply individual approach, aligning offer structures and pricing model with the customer needs and thinking from the customer’s point of view.
The possibility of easy expansion of services
in as short time before the event or during
the operation is one of the advantages of our solutions. The client is informed in advance
about the scope and limits of these possibilities.
Our knowledge is grounded in personal experience gained over many years of working in the field of Media &Broadcasting. This includes
technical responses to tenders, team management, multi-project management and on-site operations from preparation to successful delivery.
With more than 30 years of experience, our journey started at the Olympic Games in Barcelona and Albertville in 1992, continued in key positions
for major events in the EBU and in SES, and then we continuously and successfully followed it up in our company.

Roles are not played by individuals, if necessary, a person can be replaced for each position. For technical solutions, redundancy is specified, tested
and approved. The amount of spare equipment and how to use it during operations is precisely agreed with the client and explained.
Hybrid solutions use fibers, satellites and public Internet.
Self-healing protection is used in an optimal way, as simple and efficient as possible.
For each project, the local situation is carefully considered and the solution also takes into account other services for the same client running in parallel during the same period. Close and open cooperation with clients is very important for the best use of all backups and spare parts.
Solutions are based on experience from previous generations of equipment. However, the most advanced standards, IP equipment and hybrid concepts
are used whenever possible. Networks and equipment are optimized for the best solution as regards reliability, content protection, monitoring and extension to media of various categories.
The emphasis is on high compactness, low consumption and intelligent logistics of equipment and personnel. IP and cloud technologies are preferred
for smaller carbon footprint and to reduce the amount of hardware.
Future proof solutions have hybrid concepts and extensibility for remote production. The concepts are designed to be easily expandable to increase capacity, which is necessary for remote production.
