Eswatini Broadcasting and Information Services (EBIS), the national broadcaster of the Kingdom of Eswatini, has initiated a technology upgrade by installing Lawo’s Diamond Modular Broadcast Consoles. This transition to IP-based broadcasting aims to enhance operational efficiency, flexibility, and scalability within the station's infrastructure.
The installation, managed by South African systems integrator B&I Engineering, includes two Lawo diamond consoles that support RAVENNA/AES67 audio-over-IP standards and are compatible with ST2110-30/-31 protocols. This modular solution allows for customisation to meet EBIS’s specific needs.
Mr. Sabelo Dlamini, director of broadcasting and information services, highlighted the intuitive interface and modular design of the diamond console, noting that it has inspired new creative possibilities for the team. Presenter Mr Mabandla Bhembe praised its user-friendly controls, stating that the console’s design allows for quick and comfortable operation.
“The diamond console’s intuitive interface and modular design have made it easy for our team to adapt,” Dlamini said. “This upgrade brings new creative possibilities and fresh motivation for our team.”
