GERMAN DISTRIBUTOR SHM BROADCAST CELEBRATES TEN YEARS (July 2011)

Crystal Vision's distributor in Germany, SHM Broadcast, celebrated its ten years in the industry with a two day Open House on 25th and 26th May.

The idea behind the Open House was to celebrate the ten years together with some of SHM Broadcast’s customers (including ARD, Bayerischer Rundfunk, Hessischer Rundfunk, Kabel BW, MTI, Plazamedia, ProSiebenSat.1, RBT and Telekom) and to discuss the new trends, latest products and future projects – as well as enjoying a Bavarian Beergarden Party on the first evening!

The Open House was attended by all 13 manufacturers that SHM Broadcast represents in Germany, including Crystal Vision’s Head of Sales, Stewart McGhie. With the latest Crystal Vision products on display (including the MultiLogo three-layer logo keyer, Up-Down 3G up/down/cross converter and SYNNER-E 3G multi-functional synchroniser), Stewart also gave a presentation on the different worlds of SD and HD and the issues of converting between the two.

Now with eight employees, SHM Broadcast has enjoyed a very successful ten years and has been working with Crystal Vision since the beginning. The company was presented with Crystal Vision’s Distributor of the Year award in 2010.

Explained Managing Director Jürgen Helscher: “The long-lasting success of SHM Broadcast is based on the effort to find, deliver and integrate the best solution for all customers – whether one-man-show or big broadcaster – by providing high level consulting, project management and service. SHM Broadcast is able to bank on a wide and growing portfolio of the best manufacturers in the broadcasting-branch, like Crystal Vision. That close co-operation gives the ability to provide a ‘care-free package’ for all customers.”
