One of Slovakia's leading broadcasters, TV Markiza, which is also based in Bratislava, commissioned Centron to install a customised system for the TV series Big Brother, with a view to establishing an easy-to-use, reliable and modularly expandable system of wireless communication for the production team. The broadcasters opted for a system from RTS/Telex: a Zeus digital matrix with 24 ports and a generous supply of peripherals, including KP-32 keypanels and a BTR-700 wireless intercom system.
TV JOJ also opted for a Cronus and were so impressed with the results that they decided to acquire a second for an upcoming reality show.
To acquaint Centron Slovakia's staff with the full range of possibilities offered by RTS/Telex systems, a Telex Academy was organised for their benefit in June. Two Centron technicians attended the intensive course in broadcast technology at EVI Audio's headquarters in Straubing."
