ProPlex "Rock Solid" on TVBBC One's musical show Pitch Battle recently completed a successful opening season with five pre-recorded episodes, plus the live finals. Live broadcasts have zero tolerance for malfunctions and gear must be 100-percent reliable. For this reason, lighting designer Mark Kenyon insists on ProPlex Data Distribution Devices for all his show data networking. In addition to Pitch Battle, British television credits for ProPlex include six seasons on the hit show Strictly Come Dancing; five seasons of Saturday Night Takeaway; and the new game show Big Heads -- all designed by Kenyon. "ProPlex just keeps working," says Mark Newell, lighting gaffer and Kenyon's chief systems tech. "For Pitch Battle, we used ten ProPlex Opto-Splitter 2x8 RDM units, plus a user-friendly, versatile ProPlex IQ Two 1616 node for output streaming. We love this unit's ability to be easily changed on the fly. After many shows, over many years, we've had no performance issues with any of these units. They perform flawlessly and are an indispensable tool for our work. ProPlex devices are rock solid!"
