DMG Completes Major Upgrades to Broadcast Center in Pennsylvania

Cranberry, Pennsylvania (January, 2008). Diversified Media Group has completed year-long upgrades to their satellite uplink and data co-location facility. The upgrades of electronic equipment and terrestrial connectivity upgrades will allow the company to expand operations in business communications, distance learning, business continuity (disaster recovery), and digital signage.

A major part of the changeover is the addition of an Idirect hub for two-way satellite transmission. This technical improvement will fit right in line with DMG’s commitment to proactive monitoring for clients across all disciplines, according to Tom Percich, DMG Vice President of Business Development.  Percich added, “DMG will be phasing out our one-way DVB service in the coming year as we bring all our clients onto our two-way platform.”

Design and engineering for the change-out was handled by internal satellite and broadcast engineers from both Diversified Media Group and its sister company Diversified Systems. Procurement of new equipment and integration was also handled internally.

“This was an excellent example of utilizing the talents present within the corporation for achieving a superior engineering and construction build with speed and economy,” said John G. Melillo, President of DMG.  “It was to our advantage to use one of the leading broadcast engineering companies in the country.  If they’re good enough to design for NBC and MTV then DMG is lucky to have them work for us.”

Diversified Systems is one of the leading broadcast and AV integration companies in the United States with a platinum list of clients from network broadcast, high-end audio visual integration to sports and entertainment technical design.

The new system will operate much like broadcast TV interposing commercials during game playback at the same time within the location as the broadcast feed is going to commercials for the home viewing audience.

Senior Broadcast Engineer Phil Bernal and DMG President John G. Melillo will be part of the initial consulting team with D’Alessandro.
