Business Offering
Equipment and Materials Sourcing
Equipment and Materials Sourcing

Our large annual purchasing volume creates a strong, arm’s-length relationship with major vendors which often yields significant pricing advantages which are passed on to our clients. Although INC Broadcast is a distributor for some of prominent international manufacturers, we take utmost care when selecting the products for any project so they match our client requirements and comply with the work flow desired.   

At INC, We have the capabilities to procure and source equipment from technology leading manufacturers.

System Installation, Commissioning & Testing
System Installation, Commissioning & Testing

INC Broadcast has a team of engineers & installation wiremen who are very experienced in broadcast installations and commissioning. Good installation wiring makes all the difference to the way an installation looks and works. A well-managed installation allows reliable system expansion and maintenance throughout the system lifecycle. On completion of the installation, the system is commissioned and checked out both for technical performance and operational requirements.

In any project, partial or complete system pre-build can be undertaken at our premises prior to on-site implementation depending on the complexity of the job and the client choice. This technique saves time on site and reduces costs specially for overseas projects.

The system testing procedure we follow in INC Broadcast is per the industry highest standards, in which all the major components are tested, Cables path test such as jitters, rise time and amplitude is conducted using special measurement tools. Draft copy of the system testing procedure document is handed over to the client for approval first before testing commence.

Facility Design and Liaison
Facility Design and Liaison

Liaison with architects and builders to provide the correct building in which to install a broadcast system is a one of the services provided by INC Broadcast. Too often building design is finished before the TV design is started. This can lead to higher installation and running costs and an unsatisfactory overall facility.

Planning complex facilities requires understanding of how building facilitate media production and distribution. INC has the skills necessary to bring vision to the total facility concept.

Project Planning and Management
Project Planning and Management

Our culture and processes provide stability, accountability and leadership skills to our project managers as well as a collaborative mind-set in their dealings with internal and external project stakeholders. As primary point of contact, the Project Manager works with the client to set the technical vision and design philosophy that will direct engineering design, project scheduling, costing, quality control, and on-site move-in and installation.

An important part of the manager’s responsibility is the management of the project schedule which includes information on planned and allocated resources and specifies who is responsible for each task. The project plan also specifies procedures for agreeing changes in system requirements which may become apparent during the project.

During the course of any project, changes do happen and impact both schedule and budget. However, we have the resources and mechanisms to address both issues. Advance notice of potential conflicts and suggested remedies provided to our clients with opportunity for cost savings. Resource leveling techniques are also used to minimize labor 'peaks'. Detailed project planning of this type can also identify dates when major items of equipment are required, and so forecast the cash-flow requirements of the project.

 

Typical Project Plan would include:

  • All milestones and significant delivery dates
  • Dependencies between sub-tasks
  • Outcome of sub-tasks
  • Start and finish time of sub-tasks
  • Resourcing and responsibility for sub-tasks
  • Timescale for client input and sign-off
  • Delivery Milestones
  • Specification of works to be undertaken
  • Draft Acceptance Documents
