Beating deadlines – each and every day

Colt’s Broadcast Services are giving media companies and production houses network coverage that enhances their talent for programming making. We provide dedicated network solutions that get your video and audio signals across to your editing suites, dubbing theatres, graphics houses, and play-out centres quickly and efficiently.

We don’t use compression so your material maintains its quality wherever it goes. You can have a uni-directional service that transmits your programmes from one building to another (depending on the service you choose they can be up to 30 or 40kms apart) or have a bi-directional link so that material can be sent back and forth.

That means you’re able to collaborate with the people who can add value to your production quickly and cost-effectively. Outsourcing everything from editing to graphics and sound dubbing saves on in-house costs and ensures you can match the right talent to each production. You can use the whole production community as a resource and meet ever tighter deadlines.

Naturally, Colt has built in resilience and security to its offering, and because Colt wholly owns its own fibre network you can be sure we’ll deliver in terms of quality, speed and certainty. In many European cities we planned ahead when we built our network and ran fibre directly into many media facilities.

Our experience in your industry means we understand the importance of both quality and cost: our Broadcast Services have been designed to help you deliver on time each and every day.

Deliver the programmes – every time

Colt’s Broadcast Services are all about access: we’ve designed them to give you the ability to get your pictures and audio to the people who can add value to each production, and do it quickly and within budget.

There are two ways of sending your material and both support standard definition signals: the first is a serial digital video service that gives you a 270Mbps interface and meets the most stringent demands of the broadcast industry. Embedded audio and ancillary data is transmitted transparently with the video stream. This service enables you to reach locations that are up to 40kms away.

The second option is an analogue 140Mbps service to carry full bandwidth video and audio between sites that can be up to 30kms apart. It’s available with two or four audio channels and, because we don’t regenerate the synchronisation pulse, you get optimum video bandwidth for the transmission of sound-in-sync, Teletext and test signals.

Colt uses Codecs that are extremely reliable as is our dedicated fibre network. You can configure your connections in a uni-directional way or establish a bi-directional link if you need to. The service is, as standard, available as an unmanaged and unprotected service but we can add protection as you need it to make it a highly flexible solution to your changing requirements.
