Advanced news system development for Lietuvos Rytas TV news service
|
 |
In October Lietuvos Rytas TV started to broadcast from its recently developed news system and, thanks to timely news and publicity programmes, almost doubled its programme ratings in the first weeks of broadcasting. Hannu Pro, which won the rights to develop this EUR 1 000 000 technical project for Lietuvos Rytas (5 Kanalas) news service, concluded all of the installations at the newly reconstructed building, located in the centre of Vilnius, to very tight deadlines. Now Lietuvos Rytas TV owns the most advanced news system in the Baltic States.

Thomson GV Aurora SD/HD solution for browsing, editing and playout; this includes: 20 licences of Aurora Browse for journalists to perform material selection, and 10 licences of Aurora Edit LD for news editors to carry out story development and news editing.

The delivered system also has Aurora Playout, and Aurora Ingest for ingestion of P2 content, Reuters video service files, tape and stream based content, as well as content received from regional news centres |
