With KSC control panels, the KSC product line is optimally positioned for current and future operating processes with the demand for flexible and dynamic productions and delegations.

Cleaning recommendation of the Control Panels
Please clean the control panel before each shift or operation with a soft, slightly damp tissue slightly moistened with warm to hot soapy water. Before cleaning, please disconnect the relevant KSC control unit from all external power sources.
To be on the safe side, wear disposable gloves when cleaning the KSC control unit and then disinfect your hands.
The Control Panels are not approved for treatment with chemical cleaners (alcohol, methylated spirit and other disinfectants) and may be permanently damaged by treatment with such products.
Some detergents can be so harmful that the product warranty is affected.
For disinfecting cleaning we recommend MyClean DS Disinfection wipes from MaiMed.


The KSC Control Panels were developed as qualitative hardware control panels and enable simple, intuitive access to your KSC software solutions (KSC CORE, KSC ControlRoom). This means you can monitor all controlled signals and functions of end devices of virtually all broadcast manufacturers. Whether it’s audio, video or remote router — you have complete control.

Radio Bremen
Performance capability in the smallest Space
Radio Bremen, founded in 1945, is ARD's smallest regional broadcasting agency. Halving ARD's financial compensation reduced the broadcaster's revenue annually by a third of the budget. Because of this, a package of measures was developed which included combining radio and television on a shared site. Introducing file-based television production also meant that it was necessary to enhance program material usability, as well as processes regarding central administration, archiving, and trimedial use. This project, along with the later upgrade of the networked production systems, was implemented by BFE.

When the project began, the broadcasting technology in studio FM2 had already been in operation for 16 years. The increased tri-medial orientation of BR and the integration of real-time graphics, studio automation, online content and social media, as well as high demand for hardware and software, required an innovative and holistic concept.
