StvdioExpert source custom SMPTE fibres in record time from Canford

StvdioExpert recently called upon Canford's in-house Fibre Termination Team for the rapid supply of custom SMPTE to LC & Electrical breakout cables. Headed up by John Driver, Canford's experienced fibre team were able to produce cables to the customers exact requirements, and get them to site "in record time".

Peter Knowles - Broadcast Consultant commented: "StvdioExpert is a specialist systems integrator that is built on the real work experience of its operations team, all whom have worked in Broadcast and AV at the highest level.

StvdioExpert was recently chosen to install 2 studios within Manchester Metropolitan University with a showcase 4x BMD Ursa Broadcast camera setup in Studio One.

We quickly identified a mismatch in some infrastructure that had been installed ahead of our involvement – in particular the fibres for the cameras. We needed to source some custom SMPTE fibres urgently.

Having had a huge amount of experience with Canford, we knew their pedigree, resources and ‘can-do’ attitude would mean they were the people to help us and, true to form, Corina Cliff suppled an extremely competitive quote by return.

John's fibre team then stepped up to the challenge and manufactured the cable in record time, meaning that just 4 days later the installation was completed. Unsurprisingly, the client was extremely impressed!

We have dealt with Corina for some 20 years and her efficiency and pricing is always exceptional.  However, what made our customer experience extra-special in this instance was the fact that the Canford team played this particular blinder in the middle of a global pandemic!"

Canford's fibre termination service remains open to help and support clients through these difficult times. For more information contact:
