MUMBAI: India TV, one of the country’s leading Hindi news channel, has invested in Allen & Heath’s flagship dLive S Class digital mixing system to manage audio connectivity in its state-of-the-art broadcast centre. Part of the Independent News Service Private Ltd., India TV has a reach of over 90 million viewers, and its programmes have won several prestigious awards.
India TV, with investment from ComVentures, a top Silicon Valley venture fund, and a leading private equity entity, has created benchmarks in innovation, impact, ratings, time spends, and viewer-support. Indeed, India TV's newsbreaks have inspired talk shows on rival channels, Bollywood films, BBC documentaries and articles in Time Magazine, even Amul hoardings.
As part of an audio refurbishment, Rajat Sharma-led India TV was keen to install dLive as a permanent mixer in the studio, selecting the S7000 Surface and DM64 MixRack.
Created for professional touring, broadcast and prestige installations, dLive S Class has earned its reputation for audio quality and robustness in the most complex and high-profile applications.
“My team is very impressed with Allen & Heath’s sound quality, and the S Class dLive system has huge IO capacity, enabling them to manage the increasingly wide network of channels,” explains India TV technical general manager Ajay Seth.
“The dLive surface is very user friendly and we did not face any issues transitioning from analogue to digital, and the powerful 96kHz processing core provides amazing headroom and extremely low latency, which is an ideal environment for broadcasting. Also, the user-defined bus architecture is a big bonus. dLive completely outshone the competition!”
