ZeeVee Inc., global manufacturer of video and signal distribution technology, announced that Punch Taverns, one of the largest leased pub and bar operators in the UK, is rolling out ZeeVee’s coax video encoding products to their pubs as part of a major refurbishment program.

ZeeVee logoPunch sought to enhance its customer experience by adding a network of screens and projectors to show video from Sky Sports, FreeView channels as well as camera feeds from local games showcasing in-house Darts and Pool tournaments. To ensure local expertise, Punch commissioned integrator TVC to deliver a ‘wow’ factor at their pubs, using the highest quality audio visual equipment.

TVC deployed HDbridge2312 and HDbridge2540 video encoders in order to deliver a mix of digital SD and HD signals to new HD screens and projectors at selected Punch pub locations.

“When we first looked at ZeeVee’s products we were impressed by the video quality and ease of set up using their Maestro web-based interface,” says Matt Brown, managing director, TVC. “This, combined with the simplicity of a coax installation, meant that we were able to offer a very cost effective and flexible solution to Punch that had no limitation on the total number of screens that could be installed.”

“TVC has been an excellent partner for ZeeVee in the U.K.,” says Bob Michaels, CEO, ZeeVee. “Our product offering is well aligned with TVC’s target markets, delivering standard, high definition and Ultra HD video signals to digital displays and TV sets, and also delivering IP video via standards based, off the shelf IT networks and displays.”
