Team 4 travels into broadcast distribution via Bright Space

AV and broadcast integrator rebrands as value-added distributor to combat changing market

TV programme makers may buy from Bright Space

Veteran broadcast systems integrator Team 4 is to focus exclusively on distribution – and renaming itself Bright Space Technologies.

Colin Clarke, senior technical sales and support manager at Bright Space Technologies, said the new company will focus exclusively on trade-only distribution for the AV and broadcast industry.

“For more than 20 years, Team 4 was well regarded as a systems integrator with a reputation for building solid AV and broadcast systems,” he said.

“However, the market has moved on and following the company’s acquisition by IVC Media two years ago we have spent some time refocusing our offering.”

Clarke said the name of the game now is meeting the challenges posed by technological convergence. The company believes its future lies in offering its knowledge and experience to other resellers and integrators as a distributor.

Prospective customers for products from its vendors – including Telemetrics, Avocent, MW Video Systems, TeleScript and MultiDyne – are players such as the BBC, BSkyB, ITV, Molinare, XL Video and Creative Technology.

Consultancy services will also be on offer.

“Because of the rising levels of complexity in communication technologies, government departments and large corporates are finding they need to look externally for unbiased advice and expertise in system design capabilities,” Clarke said.
