Asia’s Got Talent gets a boost from Wisycom
Published: ASIA
SINGAPORE: Wisycom RF solutions were deployed on the set of Asia’s Got Talent recently to accommodate long cable runs without loss of audio quality. Needing to serve audio throughout the large set, Mic Check One Two Pte Ltd chief technical director, Nelson Pereira, contacted one of Wisycom’s distributors for Asia, XN3, to help find a solution. Asia’s Got Talent is a regional version of the Got Talent franchise, airing across 20 countries on AXN Asia.
‘On set, our cable lengths were maxed out at 100m from our control room to the locations around the venue, which could have hurt the RF signals of our equipment,’ explained Mr Pereira. ‘When we contacted XN3, through Wisycom, they were able to give us the solutions we needed. We were able to purchase the Klotz GA27Flex RF cable to minimise our losses, with the remaining compensation coming from Wisycom’s Broadband Antenna Amplifiers (BAA). Additionally, we placed 16 Wisycom LBNA wideband antenna fins and AGN00 omnidirectional antennas in various locations to help boost the signal. It would have been impossible to manage it all without Wisycom’s solutions.’
Also in use by Mic Check One Two during Asia’s Got Talent were Wisycom MCR42 UHF camera receivers, MTP40 bodypack transmitters and CSA 121 and CSA 221 passive wideband combiners and splitters. The devices reportedly allowed engineers on set to view the potential dangers in other frequencies, ensuring ‘clear sound everywhere’.
‘Thanks to Wisycom, we are very comfortable with RF in big venues with multiple locations,’ added Mr Pereira. ‘Wisycom improves our efficiency, gives us better audio quality on set and increases our flexibility. We have been more than pleased with the customer service support we have received, and will continue using their products for future assignments.’
