Incheon Global Campus (IGC) is a national project established by the Korean government and Incheon Metropolitan City to nurture next generation of global leaders in the fields of education, economics, industry, culture and arts. With an investment of USD 1 billion, the global campus will eventually host ten of prestigious universities, with each student studying at IGC to earn the same degree as their counterparts as they would at their ‘home’ campus.
Given IGC’s focus on the arts, the in-house TV studio has been a popular asset used to create campus news shows, as well as entertainment and drama shows as part of student courses. With technology changing and IGC expanding, however, the team looking after the studio decided late last year that the time was right for a refurbishment, and Ross was brought in to advise.
After a consultation and planning exercise, the final solutions list was agreed. IGC chose a full Ross package that comprises the Carbonite production switcher, XPression graphics platform, Tria+ production server, Cambot camera motion system, Inception newsroom computer system and Streamline media asset management, with the entire system being automated by the OverDrive solution. Configuration and control are handled via DashBoard touchscreen panels, custom-built for the team at IGC.
Hyunmin Lee, manager of the IGC Foundation, said: “We are incredibly pleased with the final project. This is now a one-stop production environment that helps campus students and users improve their operational efficiency.”
