iPhones, LiveU &
Leman Bleu
S

wiss station Leman Bleu has
deployed a range of LiveU
technology, as well as multiple iPhone
6S smartphones, to bring a previously
unobtainable level of dynamism to its
coverage.
Laurent Keller, CEO and Editor-inChief, said: "LiveU has already been
revolutionary for our TV station and
we are only at the beginning of what
we can do. This technology allows us
to do things we previously couldn't,
making our news coverage much more
vibrant and also cost-effective.
"Our aim was to push as far along the
path of lightness - therefore mobility -
and speed of deployment as possible.
It allows us to be fast and to move

very quickly. We
are progressively
rolling out this
technology."
Leman
Bleu,
a
local
TV
station based in
Geneva,
began
broadcasting
20
years ago, but the
last 18 months -
and particularly this year - have seen a
seachange in the way it operates.
2015 saw the broadcaster adopt
iPhone 6S technology, used by its
reporters for capture.
Initially turning to LiveU shortly

the robust communications
functionality needed to
manage internal signals
and audio contribution
from a wide variety of
external sources.

"The Riedel Artist system provides
the reliability and audio quality
critical to production of news and
entertainment programming, and
we've already deployed the system
successfully in the YTV OB van and
news studio control room," said Koji
Fukuda, Owner at integrator Crescent

Co., which worked with distributor
Otaritec Corp. to supply and install the
new Riedel systems at YTV.
"In addition to enabling clear,
convenient
communications,
the
new Artist installation in the Studio 3
control room gives YTV the ability to
monitor both the mix-minus feed used
by presenters and the
numerous external fourwire circuit inputs, which
operators can stabilize as
needed to ensure optimal
quality."
YTV is known for its
anime programmes, and
also for its news, sports,
documentaries, dramas,
and variety shows.
