Beijing, China (February 13, 2008) – China Central Television CCTV’s new 550,000 square meter headquarters, ranked top 10 best architectural marvels in the world by TIME, will be partly opening for the Beijing Olympics in 2008. As part of the telecom and building management systems competition, TeraMage Technologies, who recently directly tendered the video surveillance project, is announced today that it is the winner of the tender.
In the tender offer, TeraMage submitted a comprehensive technical proposal including GE-VisioWave MPEG-4 AVC digital video surveillance solution and GE Cyberdome camera systems. The winner of the contract will be fully implementing the on-site support of the surveillance installation and system integration, which is composed of 1200 cameras all converted to video streaming through digital video coding and about 200 decoded channels over a dedicated IP network. The surveillance system has been designed to include all digital video encoding, distributed and centralized video storage managed, along with other subsystems such as access control, alarm etc. by an unified integration management system platform. “We’re so glad to have this opportunity to offer our solution to such a high-end customer, who is absolutely specialized in video technology”, commented by Alvin Guo, Executive VP of TeraMage Technologies, “The winning of the tender represents the recognition of GE’s security products as well as TeraMage’s competence in offering and designing the comprehensive surveillance solutions.” CCTV new quarters project is another site prepared for
Beijing Olympics following National Convention Center, Beijing Capital International Airport Terminal 2 and 3 won by TeraMage Technologies.
The new CCTV headquarters, at a height of 230 meter and a floor area of about 400,000 square meters, combines administration with news, broadcasting, studios and program production – the entire process of TV making – in a sequence of interconnected activities. Although the building is 230 meter tall it is not a traditional tower but a continuous loop of horizontal and vertical sections that establish an urban site rather than point to the sky. The irregular grid on the building’s facades is an expression of the forces traveling throughout its structure.
