Live Shot HD Broadcast Center Opens in AZ - Breaking News and Reaction to Supreme Court Ruling on Immigration Law

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., June 13, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- When Network Television needs a high definition (HD) live broadcast from Arizona to get Governor Jan Brewer's reaction to the U.S. Supreme Court ruling on Arizona's Immigration Law (SB1070), there is a state-of-the-art HD Broadcast Center ready to send that news to networks all over the world in HD and in real time. BroadcastAZ, a Broadcast USA company, announces the opening of one of the country's leading HD digital broadcast facilities. This state-of-the-art HDTV Production & Broadcast Center opens in Scottsdale, AZ on June 15, 2012 to take advantage of the high concentration of breaking news from Arizona and nationally-ranked public companies based in Arizona. 

BroadcastAZ:  Studio A for Live Shots in High Definition and Real Time and includes the Azzurro HD Camera System.

BroadcastAZ offers live shots that cover breaking news from Arizona.  For instance, the U.S. Supreme Court could rule as early as Monday (June 18, 2012) on the future of Arizona's controversial immigration law, Senate Bill 1070. Governor Jan Brewer wants to make sure law enforcement is ready.  Brewer on Tuesday issued an executive order requiring the Arizona Peace Officer Standards and Training Board to redistribute to all law-enforcement agencies by Friday a training video originally sent out when the law passed two years ago.

"The governor is optimistic that the heart of SB 1070 will be upheld and implemented," Brewer spokesman Matthew Benson said. "The governor thought this was an appropriate time to revisit the issue and make sure Arizona law enforcement is as prepared as possible for partial or full implementation of the law."

BroadcastAZ delivers that breaking news to global networks.

Where HD video is the medium of choice, BroadcastAZ boasts a fully-equipped broadcast center, capable of televising live High Definition or Standard Definition signals via a dedicated high speed video pipeline to an HD Hub in New York City. The signal is then available to more than 200 major networks including ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, CNN, ESPN and global networks as well.  BroadcastAZ features two complete HD studios including High Definition cameras and teleprompter, computer controlled lighting grid, control room, video pipeline connection, robotically controlled HD-camera with a lighting and sound system in Studio A for 'talking head' or 'live-shot' interviews, plus a green room/make-up room for talent.  Studio B is a 1200 square foot HD studio suitable for major shows needing up to five HD cameras, greenscreen and custom set designs.

"There has been a rapidly emerging convergence of broadcasting and telecommunication which is the direct result of the ongoing development of digital technologies," said Bonnie Adams, director of operations for BroadcastAZ.

BroadcastAZ chose Scottsdale for its first West regional location due to the favorable business climate that the city offers.  Arizona is also a national source for breaking news, financial trends, green energy, medical technology, and global tourism.

"As Scottsdale continues its strong economic recovery, we are thrilled that BroadcastAZ has decided to join the growing list of companies that have chosen to make Scottsdale their home," said Mayor W.J. 'Jim' Lane. "BroadcastAZ fits well into Scottsdale's growing technology industry and we wish them nothing but continued success."

"In addition, BroadcastAZ has purchased the revolutionary Azzurro HD Camera System to install in our newly constructed live broadcast Studio A.  The studio itself has acoustic foam walls that also double as a 'blue screen' studio, flat screen monitors (HD), superior sound and studio lighting, and a green room with full make-up area," added Collins.
