26–06–08 – Theres an old saying...
It goes something like 'make hay while the sun shines!', and while the sun hasn't actually been shining that much we always new that this year was going to be the busiest for a long time for the MiB hire dept and so far we're not far wrong.
The obvious major televised events of the year so far have been ably supported by more and more domestic and international requirements that have made use of our, sometimes unintended, increased hire stock.
With the predicted HD revolution upon us MiB had to raid the 'for sale' pile of single HD/SDI rattlers, 4 e/way HD/SDI Telethon, and TAC4 Single mode fibre cable just to service the hire requests that came our way. Here is an example of some of the jobs we've done this year so far.

20–12–07 – Gearhouse Broadcast Updates Flyaways with Riedel Artist Intercoms
Gearhouse Broadcast, a leading international broadcast services company, has chosen Riedel Communications’ state-of-the-art Artist Digital Matrix intercom system for updating its range of portable production units and flyaway broadcast packages. The project was handled by MI Broadcast, Riedel’s UK distribution partner.
With offices located in the UK, Australia and the U.S., Gearhouse Broadcast provides comprehensive services including broadcast sales and rental, project solutions, outside broadcast solutions and systems integration to cover live and recorded events, particularly sporting and entertainment productions. Gearhouse Broadcast rental works closely with clients and manufacturers investing in the latest equipment to meet market needs.
Kevin Moorhouse, technical director of Gearhouse Broadcast says. “Riedel Communications provided us with a solution that is fully scaleable, ideal for rental applications and is truly flexible, surpassing all of our expectations. You can have several individual systems that can be used for smaller events and can easily be linked over fiber to form one big, non-blocking matrix for larger events. ”
As a first step Gearhouse Broadcast invested in two Artist 128 digital intercom matrix mainframes as well as 60 of Riedel’s Artist 1000 premium control panels. The systems will be used for the first time for the Australian Open in January 2008, which are traditionally equipped by Gearhouse.
30–10–07 – Your Winter health Check!
If our hire stock is anything to go by your TAC4 cable, Viper, Python or any piece of Telecast
OB kit would have seen some serious use this year. With every connection and every use dirt
will have been passed to and from each termini. It may seem a mystery how dirt or dust
has got into a connector which hasn't been un-mated all year but it really doesn't take much
to prevent light and signal passing through.
Telecast Kit has an optical budget it can work up to, give your kit and cable the best chance of working by having it serviced by Mi Broadcast. We can clean every cable end, polish every chassis mount and tidy up your kit to ensure everything is ready for the coming year.
