Wheatstone and RCS partner to offer turnkey studio solution
Published: ASIA
WORLD: Wheatstone and RCS have entered into an agreement that will see them combine their respective studio technologies and resources to provide broadcasters with complete turnkey studio solutions. This will reportedly include system layout, design and commissioning as well as support from 28 local offices around the globe including Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Taiwan, Korea, India, China and Malaysia in Asia as well as the Middle East.
With its WheatNet-IP network already comprising a complete studio hardware solution, the software tools created by RCS augment this with radio automation, music scheduling and a flexible traffic system for multiple stations.
‘At RCS, we look for opportunities to create tight integration with industry partners who our clients use,’ said RCS president and CEO Philippe Generali. ‘This new partnership with Wheatstone continues our concept of being a one-stop shop for broadcasters – providing sales, installation, customisation and support with one call.’
‘Our relationship with RCS will take advantage of both companies’ technologies and infrastructure by enabling the reduction of equipment and installation costs and making more efficient use of software interfaces to augment and, in some cases, replace hardware,’ agreed Wheatstone’s director of sales, Jay Tyler.
