About us

Driven by Beijing's burgeoning opportunities and China's growing market CTVS has developed from a small company into a comprehensive service organization with a proven track record and a flexible all encompassing offering for TV and film productions. CTVS not only services the Chinese market, but has cast their net over the entire Asian region. Our production experience in Asia make us the logical choice for international customers wishing to enter the Asian markets – and of course the other way round.

 

Our headquarter is located in Beijing; Sanlitun - nestled amongst countless international organizations and embassies, our headquarter ensures both ease of access and ease of use. There, at the heart of central Bejing, our office offers perfect connectivity – BTV and the new CCTV center are just five minutes away. With more than 700 sq. m of professional workspace it is the operations base of our company, where business meets creativity. Our warehouse is equipped with every type of equipment imaginable, for all sorts of productions: hundreds of lights, complete sets of broadcasting studio equipment, and much more. We are fully equipped to stage your show and will cater to all your needs for major sporting events, breaking news, film productions, or whatever you require here in Asia.

With its flexible and comprehensive services, CTVS is not only sought after as a partner in Beijing, but also possesses extensive and specialized experiences with major productions in Shanghai. Our offices in Singapore, Frankfurt, and Madrid offer strong intercontinental connections – and there also, we are able to offer our full set of services for TV and film productions. And we will go wherever our services are required.

 

Our wide range of services and our comprehensive line of equipment, lights, grip and studios are available for hire, and can be completely tailor-made solutions that are quickly arranged. We believe that exceptional results not only come from excellence on the ground, but also from a solid support base. CTVS will help you realize your entire production - perfectly. Production preparation and support, editing, graphics, deployment of complete crews – we are able to deliver, whatever our clients might need. We are able to take over complete live productions, may provide our own outside broadcast vans, and rent out technical equipment. CTVS was the first private company granted permission to import SNG trucks to China. And that’s just one example of our standing here in China.

 

Our multi-lingual staff hails from all continents of the globe and boast backgrounds in sinology, anthropology, language studies and, of course, TV and film production. With rich experience in Asia, CTVS staff have been covering main events and breaking news in the region for many years. From the smallest project, to multi-faceted large-scale productions, CTVS offers everything from research and co-ordination, to ENG crews, camera personnel, multi-camera set-ups, and live broadcasts.

Years of experience have shown that CTVS' combination of international skills, strong local knowledge and exceptional state of the art equipment provide ease of production, peace of mind, and a guarantee of absolute quality.

 



ORF - Covering East Asia and the Pacific

CTVS recently teamed up with the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation (ORF) and now provides complete technical support for them across the East Asia/Pacific region.

The partnership began in the Summer of 2006 and CTVS is proud that all ORF correspondents based in Beijing now call CTVS headquarters home - with their offices happily under our roof.

CTVS provides ORF with reliable and experienced crews for all of their technical needs in the region. From pre-production to satellite transmission, the partnership enables ORF to broadcast a clear view of East Asia and the Pacific to the rest of the world.

 



ARD – Uniting Germany’s Public Broadcasters

Working hand in hand with ARD (the Association of Public Broadcasting Corporations in Germany - consisting of nine state-run organizations and Deutsche Welle), CTVS is ensuring that wherever German media is broadcast, if it is compiled or transmitted from Asia, its quality, timeliness and professionalism is second to none; providing technical support and experienced crew to all networks involved.

 



PLAZAMEDIA, one of the leading full services providers in TV and New Media production in Europe with a strong sports background. Our co-operation with PM (a subsidiary company of EM-TV) enables us to excel in and further expand our sports broadcasting capabilities. The partnership extends our services in regards to sports broadcasting via access to Camera Moving Systems (CMS).

 



EBU – European Ties

CTVS’ long involvement with the EBU (European Broadcasting Union) is continuing to gain momentum. Helping them cover a full range of social, political and sporting events in the past, we are pleased to be stepping up the range of services within our working partnership via new equipment, multi-lingual staff, and editing services to encompass all technical, personnel and broadcasting demands, upon immediate request - ensuring that nothing stands in the way of the dissemination of information, events and key announcements from Asia, across Europe and throughout the world.
