EQUIPMENT AND MATERIALS SOURCING

INC’s large annual purchasing volume creates a strong relationship with major vendors that often yields a significant pricing advantage which is then passed on to clients.

SYSTEMS INSTALLATION, COMMISSIONING AND TESTING

INC Broadcast has a team of engineers and installation wiremen, experienced in broadcast installations and commissioning. On completion, the system is commissioned and thoroughly checked both for technical performance and operational requirements. In any project, partial or complete system pre-build can be undertaken at the company premises prior to on-site implementation. This technique saves time on-site and reduces costs especially on overseas projects.

The system testing procedure follows the industry’s highest standards, where all major components are tested – cables path test such as jitters, rise time and amplitude is conducted using special measurement tools. Draft copy of the system testing procedure document is handed over to the client for approval before testing commences.

SUPPORT CONTRACTS

INC offers two types of support contracts, both of which can be customised: Parts Pro: Where the company supplies clients with spare parts only when a fault happens. Service Pro: Where the company supplies clients with spare parts replacements as well as on-site inspection and repair services when a fault happens.

METHODOLOGY

INC has developed a methodology that ensures high-quality and a customised system for each client. A robust project management practice, it facilitates swift project commencement and progress through pre-defined stages of a low-risk path designed to achieve high quality results. It is based on continuous client involvement and remains the principal focus throughout the project and until the achievement of pre-arranged objectives.
