The Whistling Woods International (WWI) campus’s Sony Media Technology Centre (SMTC) has undergone a complete makeover, according to WWI. This is the Tech Development Centre’s second major relaunch in the last 12 years. It was established in partnership with Whistling Woods International and Sony Corporation, and it ushers in a new era of broadcast and cinema technology.

Being the first and only center of its kind in India, the upgraded facility represents a key milestone in the dedication to advancing skills in broadcasting and content development.

Mr. Mikio Kita, Vice President, Sony Corporation, and Mr. Subhash Ghai, Founder & Chairman, Whistling Woods International jointly re-inaugurated the revamped SMTC.

It represents a dedication to pushing technical innovation in the Indian entertainment and media sector. The renovated facility serves as a central location for Sony’s cutting-edge production workflow solutions and cutting-edge technologies.

The SMTC revamp will act as a demonstration site for Sony’s “Networked Live” initiative, which aims to revolutionize production processes. With essential elements like VideoIPath and Nevion Virtuoso, the facility uses IP technology to transform live production workflows and make distributed and remote production possible.

Apart from cutting-edge broadcast equipment, the center will showcase Sony’s most recent full-frame motion picture camera, the Venice 2, which is acknowledged as a new benchmark for cinematography, in addition to other Cinema Line-up models such as the FX9, FX6, and FX3 equipped with G Master Lenses. The building also has a cutting-edge theatre with Sony digital cinema projectors that can display 4K content.

The remodeled center ushers in a new era of technical innovation and creative excellence and is a monument to Whistling Woods International‘s dedication to developing talent and offering top-notch resources to its students.
