TV Studios
The “rock and roll” system for film dubbing was originally conceived by Eddie Veale and installed at Advision to reduce the delays caused by false starts. Since then VA has continued to provide innovative and leading edge solutions throughout the Film, Television and Radio industries
When the midweek London broadcasting licence came up for renewal, Carlton Television engaged VA to help them develop their application. The licence was awarded to Carlton and VA successfully negotiated their home at the London Television Centre on the South Bank - a relocation which thrust television into the digital age
When Channel 4 began broadcasting in 1982, it received many complaints from listeners about the quality of its broadcast sound. VA solved the problem by upgrading the sound control room acoustics so engineers could head the quality.
Over the years, VA has designed orchestral soundstages for SABC, music and over-dubbing sound studios for VideoSound in London, a sound post-production house and voice booth for Complete Video, sound recording and edit suites for The Edit Works, post-production studios and soundstage for VideoSound in Johannesburg.
VA's acoustic expertise was instrumental in reducing noise spread at Technicolor studios, London in 2008. The master control rooms for BBC and ITV digital transmissions were situated within an open plan office. To reduce sound pollution VA installed Sound diffusion blades and glass gratings that broke up and scattered sound so that it was no longer audible. These were designed in consultation with the building architect and fitted seamlessly with the modern style of the broadcast studio.
Whether you need additional facilities, are planning to relocate or are looking to start from scratch, our years of experience and multi-disciplined skills will ensure a successful project from start to finish. At home and around the world, VA continues to create unique and leading-edge solutions - whatever the need.
