Broadcasting System Design & Integration

Singapore's Specialist Broadcast Integrator

Broadcasting infrastructure demands a level of precision and reliability that general systems integrators cannot match. IPAS Intermedia has built its reputation on delivering broadcast facilities — from master control rooms to full production studios — that perform without compromise.

Our track record with StarHub and MediaCorp reflects the confidence Singapore's most demanding broadcasters place in our engineering capability.

What We Design & Integrate

  • Master control rooms (MCR) — design, equipment, cabling, commissioning
  • Television and radio production studios
  • Video and audio routing and switching systems
  • Transmission and signal distribution infrastructure
  • IP broadcast systems (SMPTE ST 2110, NMOS)
  • Outside broadcast (OB) vehicle and flyaway systems
  • Monitoring and quality control systems
  • Intercom and communications systems for production environments
  • Fiber optic signal transport and cabling
  • Equipment racks, power, and cooling

Our Process

Every broadcast integration project follows a structured methodology that eliminates ambiguity and reduces risk at each stage.

  • Requirements analysis: We start by understanding your editorial workflow, technical standards, and operational constraints.
  • System architecture: IPAS engineers produce detailed system design documentation, signal flow diagrams, and equipment schedules.
  • Procurement & fabrication: We specify and source equipment, fabricate custom cable looms and rack infrastructure, and manage delivery schedules.
  • Installation & commissioning: On-site installation is managed by our own engineers — no subcontracting of critical work.
  • Testing & handover: Full system testing against agreed acceptance criteria, with staff training and documentation provided on completion.

Why IPAS for Broadcast Integration

The broadcast integration market in Singapore is thin — very few firms have the experience and engineering depth to deliver broadcast infrastructure to professional standards. IPAS has been doing this work at scale. We understand the stakes: a broadcast system that fails during live transmission is not acceptable. Our designs reflect that.

We also bring an integrated capability — where other integrators would need to subcontract fiber optic cabling, AV systems, or IT infrastructure, IPAS delivers all of this with our own engineers. That reduces coordination risk and keeps accountability in one place.

FAQ

Broadcasting System Questions

What types of broadcast facilities does IPAS design?

IPAS designs master control rooms, production studios, transmission systems, and outside broadcast infrastructure for television broadcasters, radio stations, and corporate media facilities.

Has IPAS worked with major broadcasters in Singapore?

Yes. IPAS Intermedia has delivered broadcast system integration projects for StarHub and MediaCorp, Singapore's largest cable operator and national broadcaster respectively.

Do you handle both IP-based and traditional SDI broadcast systems?

Yes. IPAS engineers are experienced with both traditional SDI/coax broadcast infrastructure and modern IP-based broadcast architectures including SMPTE ST 2110.

What does the broadcast system integration process involve?

Our process covers requirements analysis, system architecture design, equipment specification and procurement, installation, cabling, commissioning, testing, and staff training. We remain available for ongoing technical support after handover.

Can IPAS handle the full project including cabling and rack fabrication?

Yes. IPAS delivers the complete scope with our own engineers — including fiber optic cabling, equipment rack fabrication, power and cooling, and AV integration. No critical work is subcontracted.
