Studio equipment for the digitalisation process has arrived at the Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation (ZBC) headquarters, Pockets Hill in Harare for installation.
The arrival of the equipment comes just after the installation of the head-end, which is a master facility for receiving television signals for processing and distribution.
The head-end, among other functions, enables viewers to pay their license fees through mobile phones, among other platforms.
ZBC Acting CEO, Mr Patrick Mavhura said the equipment is for two television studios and more equipment for other studios which include radio will be delivered in due course.
He said the completion of the digitalisation will improve on programming quality.
Meanwhile, the installation of the head-end, which has the capacity to transmit more than 12 HD channels has been completed.
ZBC Digitalisation Project Manager, Mr Obert Muganyura said a lot of progress has been made to ensure the process is completed in time.
He added that the new project has a power back up which has uninterruptable power supplies.
The new digitalisation equipment has an automatic scheduling system, a play out centre and a web TV which enables viewers to watch TV on their mobile phones.
