Qvest Media had been contracted to plan and install the new satellite infrastructure for WELT’s new broadcast and play-out center in Berlin. WELT (former N24) is Germany’s leading private news boradcaster providing services over cable, satellite, DVB-T2 and IPTV.
A key challenge was the integration of 3 existing motorized antennas from the existing distant site with the network in the new HQ consisting of new 7 Antennas in another location. All antennas together deliver 42 RF L-Band signals which are consolidated and controlled in the new broadcast center office in the heart of Berlin.
Qvest Media has chosen a matching combination of DEVs modular advanced Optribution RF over fiber systems for transmission and an Archimedes Matrix for switching and combing of the signals as well as a matching redundancy options in combination with constant signal monitoring to assure flawless quality services 24/7. The new infrastructure of WELT in Berlin is live since April 24th 2021.
