System Design and Planning
Due to the high investment costs of technical equipment, the production facilities of a television station should fulfill the production requirements for as long as possible. Because of the rapidly changing television market, a high degree of flexibility becomes an important system design criterion. New media services often do not reach the expected level of acceptance. In addition, political decisions and media legislation may cause public and commercial television stations to redefine their missions and objectives. These extraordinary, dynamic influences may fundamentally change the requirements placed on the technical production facilities.
When defining the functionality of the production facilities, the system designer must also take into consideration the requirements of the journalists, producers and other creative program designers as well as the production staff. The goal is to develop a customized solution for clearly defined tasks.
