BEIJING, China -- Accom (www.accom.com) reports that China Central Television (CCTV) has purchased 22 Abekas Dveous digital video effects systems for new facilities within their broadcast operations center in Beijing. All 22 units will be housed in various new post suites for a new channel CCTV is implementing. This purchase brings CCTV's Dveous total to 40 units. CCTV is the only national television network run by the central government of the People's Republic of China. It has 10 nationwide channels reaching a peak audience of over 450 million throughout China. Channel 4 is also broadcast outside of China to dozens of television stations in Asia, Australia, Africa and in the former Soviet Union republics.
