Speaking about the deal, Tan Boon Siong, Lawo Sales Director for SE Asia said: We won the tender with a 40-fader mc²36 with 96+96 DSP channels the first mc² series mixing console in DD. As well as price, we won on our ability to meet all the technical requirements laid down by Doordarshan.
Planning for the work began in mid-2015, with the contract awarded 12 months later. The console order was placed with Lawo in October 2016. Presently, the installation is well underway with commissioning set for the end of March.
Providing national, regional and local programming, Doordarshan currently operates around 21 channels including DD News, DD National, DD Sport and DD Bharati. The refurbished studio will provide fully integrated operation with new and more advanced technology for DD News than DD has previously has at its disposal.
