Wenzhou TV, the Chinese regional broadcaster, has purchased a complete production infrastructure, conversion and switching solution from Snell as part of its upgrade to full HD production from studio to screen. The equipment was supplied via Snell’s regional partner, Beijing Xingguang Sanitec Science & Technology Co., Ltd.
   

Headquartered in the ancient port of Wenzhou, Wenzhou TV serves a population of more than nine million people in Zhejiang Province in Eastern China. Already a Snell customer for both studio and OB equipment, Wenzhou TV once again turned to Snell to provide key technology for its upgrade to HD production, with its HD news service scheduled to go live this September.

Production switching is handled by a Kahuna 6400, enabling simultaneous support and conversion of SD, HD and 1080p across all inputs and outputs. A KudosPro dual channel motion adaptive standards converter enables format and framerate conversion of non-native media, and a Pyxis router delivers multi-format signal routing. Snell IQ Modular provides video and audio processing infrastructure, including D/As, synchronization, conversion and audio processing modules.
