PacTV Los Angeles

For more than 30 years, Los Angeles-based Pacific Television Center (PacTV) has been a leading transmission and live production provider to the global broadcast industry. What began as a single local loop and one studio, PacTV is now a powerhouse of connectivity with broadcast facilities in Los Angeles, New York and London, offering its clients services in fiber connectivity, satellite coordination, receive and records, multi-format tape play outs, live shots, satellite media tours and voiceovers. On a local level, its broadcast facility in Los Angeles connects to the ATT Hollywood Hub and The Switch Los Angeles; in New York, it connects to Encompass/Waterfront, The Switch New York and Azzurro; and in London, its facility has multiple circuits to and from the BT Tower.

In addition to PacTV’s three facility locations, it also provides remote location production through its new ENG truck that combines the company’s existing and proven fiber network with state-of-the-art microwave gear, providing a complete point-to-point solution for mobile broadcast productions. PacTV’s longtime studio experience allows the company to manage the entire end-to-end fiber and microwave workflow, while its ENG truck and microwave network in Los Angeles can cover nearly 10,000 square miles. The mobile facility is equipped with a wireless camera and IFB with return-vision capability, giving users the freedom to get the shot at a distance. It can stream MPEG-4 HD quality video and audio, and is armed with encoders capable of doing four separate services, for multiple clients, at once.

The company’s solid reputation as a quality leader and trusted, neutral provider is only strengthened by its relationships with several major networks including ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, ESPN, CNN, BSkyB and BBC in the UK, Network TEN in Australia and Sky in New Zealand as well as top carriers including AboveNet/Zayo, SingTel, Intelsat, SES World Skies, British Telecom, Colt, Nexion and Level 3.
