Digigram Supplies Voice Of Vietnam

Digigram has revealed a new deal with Voice of Vietnam, the national radio broadcaster in the country, for the use of PYKO IP-based network audio terminals to make daily broadcasts and on-demand content from Vietnam available to listeners worldwide.
Supplied and installed by the Vietnam regional office of Global Broadcast Supply Pte Ltd. (GBS), Digigram's master distributor for Southeast Asia, the PYKO-in systems convert 70 audio feeds from around the country into audio-over-IP streams that are transmitted for centralised processing and streaming via the Voice of Vietnam website.
"The PYKO-in was an obvious choice for us because it is a cost-effective solution that provides professional broadcast quality with balanced audio inputs and robust streaming technology in a compact form factor," said Perry Leong, project manager at GBS.
Enabling distribution of digital audio over a shared or dedicated IP network, Digigram's PYKO-in and PYKO-out IP audio devices offer solutions for audio applications including paging, public information systems, commercial background music, broadcasting and webcasting.
Voice of Vietnam is using 70 PYKO-in terminals to convert and compress audio inputs from 63 radio channels from various provinces and cities, as well as seven Voice of Vietnam channels, for transmission as IP audio streams over leased lines to a central facility, where audio is processed by a Wowza® streaming server for Internet-based delivery on the broadcaster's website.
More than four million Vietnamese live overseas in about 100 countries, and now they have access to daily radio from all areas of their homeland.
"We are happy to count VOV as a customer in the region, thanks to long-term collaboration with our regional master distributor, Global Broadcast Supply Pte Ltd.," said Nancy Diaz Curiel, sales manager, APAC, at Digigram Asia Pte Ltd.
"GBS is a very suitable partner for us, as the company has offices in several countries, including Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam, and extensive knowledge of the broadcast market in these countries."
