Palcam : Baird TV

About Palcam

At Baird Television Associates we specialize in documentary, newsmagazine, sport, EPK and behind the scenes projects.

In the 1990's factual programming shoots for the BBC and Channel 4 led us to purchase a PAL/625 Betacam camera, set up our sister company PALCAM Canada and begin to offer production services in that format.  Over the years we've expanded both our equipment list and our client base.

 

We’ve had the pleasure of working on dozens of BBC programs for Horizon, Panorama, Breakfast Television, Tomorrow’s World, Blue Peter, 999 Real Life Rescues, Rogue Traders, Jet Set, Open University etc.

We’ve also worked on projects for LWT, Granada, Thames TV and most of the European, Asian and Australian Networks.

 

As Western Canada’s most experienced PAL production providers we pride ourselves in offering our international clients full-service solutions to their PAL HD and PAL625 production needs here in Western Canada.

Over the years we have developed a networking relationship with PAL equipped crew/service providers in other North American markets. We would be pleased to use our database to help you make arrangements to get a PAL equipped crew anywhere in North America.
