BROADCAST FACILITIES:
Broadcast facilities may include individual or group television stations, television networks, public TV stations, sports networks, national television networks and IPTV systems used by telephone companies and rural telephone providers. A growing facet of broadcast technology is internet broadcasting. Also corporate television is a part of many larger companies who provide information and training their their own "in house" studios". In addition sports broadcasting is often provided using large televison production trucks that serve as mobile studios. Broadcast facilities at stadiums and arenas are discussed on the Sports Venue page of this website.
BROADCAST TECHNOLOGY:
Today's financing for equipment, technology or systems used in Broadcast Facilities focuses primarily on technology since such a great share of broadcast "equipment' has evolved to "IT" or IT related systems. Equipment used in broadcast facilities includes cameras, camera platforms, lighting, sound, mixing consoles, computers, servers, software and data storage technology, transmitters, encoding, compression and decompression technology, routers, and transmission equipment, antennas, towers and signal processing equipment. Also included are mobile production trucks and news vans. Equipment, technology or systems are usually "integrated" into an interelated "systems integration project".
