Push Your Boundaries
with Elevate Broadcast

The system integrator, Elevate Broadcast, is helping customers push their
boundaries into new and emerging technologies and endeavours while assuring
they	have	localized	support...

I

n 2017 to 2019, Elevate Broadcast
has been awarded a series of
projects helping showcase their
support for the industry. These
projects started with a rapid
expansion in Myanmar of private
channels. Elevate worked with the
upcoming channels for over two
years prior to the channel launches
and even prior to being awarded
licenses to assure they had plans for
not just technology, but business operational
consulting.
This long-term vision and investment by
Elevate Broadcast showcased their desire to
help the industry realize their goals. A new
channel or expansion of existing channels
is a risky venture. The owners trusted
Elevate to help them navigate the journey
to launch and now operation. Consultation
included matching facilities with the types of

2018	Myanmar	Academy	Awards	with	AR	systems

content which was to be produced. Delivery
strategies, not only for DVB-T2 transmission
but also online and new media offerings, also
needed to be examined. Elevate helped its
customer deploy technologies which greatly
reduced the daily OPEX, allowing start-ups to
better invest in new content which is the real
key to business success.
Elevate does not limit itself to new channels

but also won multiple projects with
existing providers deploying new
technology, such as Augmented
Reality, to help bring greater
commercial value to programs.
The most exciting project was the
Academy Awards in Myanmar.
Elevate partnered with Forever
Group, utilizing Ross Video systems
to create virtual statues and
video boards which created
branding opportunities in the programs
while supporting and honouring the
dignity of the program.
Elevate has deployed multiple MAM
systems in Myanmar this year, helping
bring efficiency into the production
process. With EditShare, Elevate has
helped multiple TV channels create
online and proxy workflows for postproduction.
Creating
automated

workflows, Elevate also was able to achieve
fully automated QC processes where content
is checked before being sent to playout
and assuring high quality transmission.
Professionalism and standards have brought
better overall viewer experiences while
allowing the channels to reduce their overall
costs. Even better, now the channels can
create more content with the same resources.
Elevate Broadcast is defining a new type
of system integrator which values first the
customers' business needs then tailors
roadmaps to help the customer grow. No
longer is it acceptable to simply provide
a product or wire a system, but system
integration for Elevate Broadcast is about
becoming a business partner and working
together towards success.
