|
 |
Last year LNT, the leading Latvian commercial TV company, and Hannu Pro, signed a contract for the deployment of an advanced play-out system. The value of this project reaches EUR 700 000. Hannu Pro has already delivered most of the vital system components. Hannu Pro service department is providing equipment installation and configuration. The solution is based on a Grass Valley K2 Summit server system with 8 freely configurable input/output ports and provides full compatibility with the Aurora news system to be introduced in the next phase of development. The project includes a Grass Valley K2 BaseCamp – MAM (Media Asset Management) – low-resolution proxy browsing and archive management system (18 floating Aurora Browse licenses), as well as two Grass Valley Maestro A+B roll play-out mixers with digital video effects (DVE) and channel branding, together with conforming automation equipment to support the broadcast of two TV channels – LNT and TV5. Initially, play-out control will be performed using Hi Tech Systems HT-445 ActiV Filer controllers and K2 Summit AppCenter Pro application. The supplied Grass Valley Concerto SD/HD 128x128 router is the heart of the whole LNT and TV5 signal distribution system. Controlled by a fully redundant Grass Valley Jupiter intelligent controller using control panels at several different locations. Grass Valley GeckoFlex modular systems provide signal processing. Other equipment also includes an Infrotrend FTP RAID storage, Wohler audio control equipment, an Apantac multiviewer monitoring solution, and JVC monitors. The system allows performing program audio dubbing entirely in a file based domain, utilising the K2 system's capability to merge wav files with original movies.
