In a groundbreaking investment deal worth R40m, SABC Radio Main Control in 10 SABC centres throughout the country will undergo major digitisation changes ahead of the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa. In structuring the deal, the SABC took into consideration the experience LAWO, a German routing and digital audio manufacturing company, had gained in providing audio routing capabilities to the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany. SABC also decided to award the design of the national radio and television digital routing system to LAWO's South African partners, Broadcast & Installation Engineering (B & I) and
Harambe Technologies.
According to Gelfand Kausiyo, general manager of SABC Radio Broadcast Facilities (RBF), the technology department responsible for providing all the broadcast and production needs of SABC Radio, the most crucial area in radio is Radio Main Control. "All connectivity,
including regional routing of audio signals from studio to transmitter sites is executed in the Radio Main Control."
The main control centre is located at Auckland Park in Johannesburg and there are a further 10 control centres throughout the country. Read more in the June 2007 issue of Screen Africa
