Meet HD Global

Tell us about your company, who you are and what you do

HD Global Media Holdings is a premier provider of 360° technical solutions for broadcast, live streaming and content production across Africa. Operating from hubs in Johannesburg and Cape Town, we are the unifying force behind HD In Motion, HD Cape Town, HD International and Afro International, each retaining its own identity and operational independence, but harnessed under a shared vision of excellence.

Put simply, we are the technical engine behind some of the continent's most-watched television and live event moments. From high-end outside broadcast vans and custom-built studio control rooms to multicam flyaway systems, 4K full-frame camera kits and mobile ENG units, we give storytellers the infrastructure, expertise and innovation needed to deliver world-class productions.

Our strength lies in expert technical planning and execution across both long and short-format productions. We manage the broadcast of any production or event, including specialised outside broadcast requirements and live streaming, and we back the gear with the crews, engineers and producers who know how to use it.

As Group CEO Bryan Miller puts it: "We don't just bring the gear, we bring the people and precision that bring content to life."
