Media 3 just completed a live broadcast facility elegantly disguised as a luxurious Midtown executive club. Working with TPG Planning and Design, Media 3 designed the facility with maximum flexibility and sophistication in mind to accommodate a clientele that regularly includes heads of state, CEOs and celebrities.

The new 16,000sq-ft facility supports two control rooms, five studios, broadcast service panels and 24 fiber tie lines to Ascent Media's Fifth Avenue hub. Every source and destination throughout the facility is on a Miranda router, eliminating the need for any hard patching. From anywhere in the facility, guests can monitor up to four signals simultaneously to keep current on world events that could affect their impending appearance.

The facility's four live-shot studios are prelit and always ready to go at a moment's notice. The facility is designed around Media 3's BureauCam live-shot system.

With all of the hazards news crews face, a driving accident is probably the most preventable. The news regarding two ENG truck crashes came fast this year. One reportedly was rolled as it was driven on a highway ramp, the other was involved in an accident in front of another media entity. Both trucks, if not totaled, sustained heavy damage. The full extent of injuries to the employees involved is yet to be determined. Did you know that total injury damages from a vehicle accident may not be apparent for weeks? Many auto accident victims suffer from head, neck, and back issues long after the time of impact. Geesh.

Media 3 Ltd. has opened its new Midtown Manhattan broadcast facility and executive lounge.
