This summer more products than ever are on the move sporting the Bel Digital Audio logo. Maintaining their association with major international sporting events, 2008 sees Bel in-rack monitors, delays and utility products in high demand for the key sporting events of the year.

The recent UEFA Euro2008 championships saw Bel Digital Audio providing full audio monitoring facilities, across all venues, within the TOCs (Technical Operation Centres). Bel, a Dolby E Partner, provided the tools necessary to monitor multi-channel audio encoded into Dolby E streams and embedded into both HD and SD video sources. 

Bel products will also be in operation at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, where once again they will give confidence to broadcast engineers worldwide.  Beijing 2008 has generated the largest production demand Bel has ever received. The products travelling to the Olympics in large volume include the new BM-A2-E8SHD+, monitoring audio from AES to High Definition with the ability to decode Dolby E and AC3 encoded sources; the very versatile 2120B SDI audio shuffler and a range of synchronisation delays including the very popular 7150, which is bit accurate enabling Dolby streams to be delayed.

Bel has once again proved that they can offer products that meet the technical demands of broadcasters whilst still providing the user an interface that makes sense at a glance.  Kevin Moorhouse, Technical Director of Gearhouse Broadcast Ltd elaborates. "We like the Bel products, not only can we rely on their quality but engineers all over the world can operate the intuitive user interfaces fast, which we require in big live events".

Following this summer’s international events, Bel Digital Audio products will continue to assist outside broadcasters to bring football and rugby to our screens from all over Europe.
