For years M-Net has been synonymous with cutting edge broadcasting. Their reporters and broadcast vehicles have captured history in the making. From international sporting events to breaking news, they’ve seen it all. We have watched powerful interviews filmed in their studios and never given a second thought to the hard work that goes on behind the scenes of one of the country’s favourite channels.
When M-Net recently upgraded the production facilities in their studios and broadcast vehicles they naturally turned to industry leaders,
Howlo for a world-class solution to their specialised needs. We consider ourselves to be experts at delivering customised solutions and top-class service, so despite the complexities of the project we tackled it with enthusiasm.
The broadcast studios at M-Net’s headquarters are always buzzing with live transmissions or programme editing. Each studio has no less than 10 screens that need to be mounted in an easy to use yet practical layout.
To make matters more interesting, the screens vary in size from standard 15” monitors to super-sized 42” monsters- and they all need to line up perfectly. It quickly became obvious that a standard
multi-screen mount would not fit the bill and that a customised mounting solution was needed. The result of the revamp was so impressive that it even got mentioned on national radio! But don’t take our word for how awesome the studios look, take a look at the pictures!
Outside Broadcast Vehicles have to perform the same functions as a multipurpose production studio whilst being mobile and easily deployable. Often these vehicles need to drive over tricky terrain, so it’s critical that the highly specialised equipment on board doesn’t move-no matter how bumpy the ride.
Howlo has supplied and installed
screen mounts for the entire fleet of M-Net’s broadcast vehicles. Each vehicle’s individual bracket solutions were designed in consultation with M-Net’s Outside Broadcast team to ensure that the equipment used to broadcast world-class entertainment is supported by world class products.
We’ve taken care of M-Net’s infrastructure so they can focus on what they do best- keep South Africa informed, entertained and glued to their seats. Howlo and M-Net, now that is Magic!
