Draka Cabling Installed In dock10

News Image
UK-based Draka has installed its cabling at dock 10 in Salford's MediaCityUK.
The facility has seven high definition television studios, two audio studios, post production facilities and content management services.
dock 10’s seven TV studios comprise four full production studios and three presentation studios.
The studios vary in size with the largest having an area of 1,160 m2, making it one of the biggest in Western Europe.
Major broadcasters, including the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Sky, use the facilities to produce programmes such as The Voice, Dragon’s Den, Match of the Day and The Sarah Millican Television Programme.
The building also includes two audio studios, the larger of which is dedicated to the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra.
This is mounted on hydraulic jacks to ensure no noise can penetrate from the adjoining studios. The smaller audio studio is a multi-purpose facility which is suitable for both radio drama and music.
TSL was the technical design consultant and systems integrator for dock 10. Its design aimed to future-proof the facility by using 3Gigabit-SDI video paths throughout. This enables both 1080p50 High Definition Video and 3D operations.
The studios, production facilities and content management services are all connected using Argosy’s Image range of HD digital video coaxial cables, manufactured by Draka.
Two models of Draka manufactured Argosy Image coaxial cables have been used at dock 10. Image 1000 HD Digital Video Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSOH) Cable has been used for longer inter-area cable runs, such as from a studio to an editing suite. For shorter cable runs and in-rack wiring Image 360 HD Digital Video LSOH Cable has been used.
Argosy supplied hundreds of kilometres of Image coaxial cable for the dock 10 project.
Argosy continue to supply the dock 10 studios with Draka manufactured Image cables for day-to-day use, along with a range of other materials from its MediaCityUK office and warehouse facilities located in the Pie Factory building.
"Every single studio building at Media City uses Draka Image cable supplied by Argosy, we’ve supplied thousands and thousands of kilometres," says Ian Davies, head of Argosy’s MediaCityUK office.
