As part of a major refurbishment programme, Punch – one of the largest leased pub and bar operators in the UK – has teamed up with ZeeVee (Zv) to implement the firm’s coax video encoding products in their pubs across the UK.

Zv’s technology will be used by Punch to enhance their pubs’ customer experience by adding a network of screens and projectors to show live video from Sky Sports and FreeView channels, whilst also having camera feeds from local games, including darts and pool tournaments. To deliver a “wow factor” in their pubs, Punch has also commissioned integrator TVC to provide high quality audio visual equipment.

“When we first looked at Zv’s products we were impressed by the video quality and ease of set up using their Maestro web based interface,” said Matt Brown, managing director at 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.”

Bob Michaels, CEO at Zv, commented: “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.”
