Modernisation and digitalisation of ZDF production vehicles
ZDF relies on state-of-the-art technologies to ensure flexible and high-quality reporting. In order to meet the increasing demands of 4K/UHD productions and real-time editing, the digital production mobiles DPM1 and DPM2 were specifically modernised.
The focus here was on expanding the production infrastructure to enable parallel processing of programme content during recording. By integrating a high-performance network infrastructure, optimised signal processing and innovative storage solutions, the production mobiles are now ideally equipped for future requirements.

Deutschland Radio
Complete package of studio technology and equipment
Deutschlandradio broadcasts three nationwide, commercial-free radio stations from Cologne and Berlin. Deutschlandfunk, Deutschlandradio Kultur, and DRadio Wissen, a digital station available via cable, DAB+, satellite, and Internet. The rebuilding work of the production floor in the FES building was also to include technical equipment and a studio infrastructure fitted to the current standards for average and high-quality production facilities.
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.
Bayerischer Rundfunk
State-of-the-art studio for Bayerischer Rundfunk
Bayerischer Rundfunk (BR) is a public-service broadcaster located in the Free State of Bavaria, with its headquarters in Munich. The BR has been an active public-service broadcaster in Bavaria since 1949, and is a member of the ARD (Arbeitsgemeinschaft der öffentlich-rechtlichen Rundfunkanstalten der Bundesrepublik Deutschland — Consortium of public broadcasters in Germany). 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.
ZDF
Mobile production for the highest demands
ZDF with its head office in Mainz is Germany's second public television broadcaster, and one of the largest public broadcasters in Europe. 3600 staff are employed in both Mainz and other regional studios throughout Germany.

Deutsche Welle
New studio with modern graphics system
The broadcaster Deutsche Welle is the state overseas broadcasting service of the Federal Republic of Germany and a member of ARD. Its German locations are situated in Bonn and Berlin. At these locations, people from 60 countries produce multimedia, journalistic content in 30 languages. Since BFE had already successfully completed projects for Deutsche Welle in the past, the decision was taken once again to enter into collaboration for the renovation of Studio 3 in Berlin.

The Middle East Broadcast Center (MBC Group) in Dubai operates 24 TV channels and several radio stations.

In 2010, MBC decided to introduce a completely tapeless system environment with file-based workflows for program and transmission planning, editing, broadcasting, and archiving. The project also included migrating from SD to HD without interrupting transmissions, as well as migrating the existing taped material to a new long-term archive. Following an international tender, BFE was chosen as the partner to oversee the entire project.

TopVision is one of Germany's biggest transmission vehicle service providers. Various projects have already been successfully implemented in the past with BFE. A perfect basis, therefore, for developing and implementing their latest fleet expansion together with us. This transmission vehicle has now been in successful operation since August 2012.

New HD TV studio for Qatar
The Al Dawri & Al Kass sports channel, located in Doha (Qatar), reports mainly on national sporting events such as football along with the Asian Games, AFC Asian Cup, the Gulf Cup of Nations and more.
