Viva Afrika Sound and Light, Extron Electronics, Technology Innovated Distribution, DWR Distribution, AV Systems, Concilium Technologies, Inala Broadcast, Audiosure, Sound Harmonics, Matrix Sound, Macro Video and Telemedia are some of the companies confirmed to exhibit at Mediatech Africa 2013, which takes place from 17 to 19 July at the Coca-Cola Dome in Johannesburg.
A biennial event, Mediatech Africa is the continent’s largest and most successful advanced technology trade show for the broadcasting, audio-visual and live entertainment sectors.
Mediatech Africa 2011 hosted 6,395 visitors and represented over 800 brands. This year’s show hopes to attract even more visitors, with a bigger African contingent.
Steve Alves of Concilium Technologies found the Mediatech Africa 2011 show to be one of the best yet. “We were able to engage productively with all of the broadcasters and production facilities during the three days, while cementing new relationships as well.
“The resources committed by our overseas partners was testament to the fact that they view Mediatech Africa as a significant event on their calendars. This was evidenced in the large contingent of overseas experts who assisted with the demonstration of the award-winning products from Harris Broadcast, Ross Video, Hightech and DK technologies, among many others,’ says Alves.
Colin Wainer, GM of Broadcast Division, Inala Technologies adds: “Since the inception of Mediatech Africa, Inala Broadcast has participated at all of the exhibitions. The attraction of customers to this event is largely dependent on South African customers, of which the market that we address, is covered by the three main broadcasters, namely the SABC, M-Net and e.tv.
“Inala Broadcast’s participation is based on presence and networking. We also use Mediatech Africa to showcase our professional broadcast range of products such as JVC Professional. In 2011 we had a new company Aviwest on our stand demonstrating Digital Mobile News Gathering (DMNG) technology, which is able to stream H.264 video down to a head end over 3G/4G and Wi-Fi networks, which proved to be very popular with the broadcasters. “We were pleasantly surprised by the amount and quality of the attendees over the three days and their interest shown”.
