MGP Nordic fra Musikhuset Aarhus via GigaContent

29. November, 2008

Danmarks Radio will this evening broadcast this year's perhaps biggest TV event for music-loving children via GigaContent's network: Nordic MGP with eight finalists will go air at 20:00 on DR1 live from the Great Hall in the Aarhus Musikhus.

- Nordic MGP is proof that our extensive testing and work to get the Aarhus Musikhus hooked up effectively to GigaContent's networks has been a big success. Earlier this year DR used GigaContent to send the Danish version of the MGP from Musikhuset, and now we're ready to transmit the international event. We are very pleased that we can assist in putting Musikhuset in Aarhus on the map as a preferred venue for culture and events in Scandinavia, says Technical Director of Giga Content, Brian Slott.

Giga Content has provided a GigaAccess solution connecting the Danish Radio main facility in Ørestad with Musikhuset in Aarhus with a 1G bits per second link. That makes DR able to send and receive two SD signals for further processing and broadcast in the Nordic region.
