Our Studios
Urban Brew Studios houses 3 x fully kitted HD Control Rooms and 8x Television Studios, ranging from 226m2 up to 1000m2. Our world-class Data Centre allows any studio to be compatible with any control room, providing increased versatility. The data centre is connected via a 40Gbps fibre line to an offsite data storage facility, serving as a back-up when required. For LIVE shows, dual broadcast lines connect our Studios to all 3x national broadcasters. Those location shoots requiring LIVE broadcast from any location nationally, can make use of our SNG Van together with our 6x Camera HD OB Van. After the shoot is recorded, our Video Post-Production services can craft your message in our editing suites, equipped with the right editing software. Our in-house Urban Rhythm Factory provides all your Audio Post Production and Music Composition needs and final delivery is made possible through Aspera. We also provide channel playout, with two of our very own channels: ONE Gospel and Dumisa.
