Broadcast Video Systems
Broadcast Solutions
Broadcasters trust Contemporary Research to deliver video throughout their facility. Contemporary Research provides a seamless video distribution solution for broadcast and production studios to monitor local news feeds in executive offices or control rooms, houses or worship to broadcast sanctuary video to overflow rooms, and sports facilities delivering game footage to concourses and suites.
The New Broadcast Environment
Video feeds coming from studio and remote cameras, as well as satellite and cable providers, and online sources require video distribution systems designed to accommodate such diverse inputs. Online feeds are becoming a bigger part of the broadcast environment for remote interviews between news staff and distant guests.
Contemporary Research hardware and software pulls together these diverse inputs to provide seamless broadcasts and full flexibility for staff members to get HD video from whatever source or channel they need.

Case Study
City Clear Broadcasting Group
"I'm very happy with the way they (QMODs) produce. The learning curve wasn't too tough. I like to hook it up and walk away from it and not have to think about it until two years down the road. I know I don't need to reboot the (QMODs) every other day like some other stuff, and reliability is really high on my list. That's why I am a fan."
