Harris Broadcast Supports Buildout of Fiji TV’s Multi-Channel
Η Harris Broadcast, τα προϊόντα της οποίας διαθέτει και υποστηρίζει για την Ελλάδα η ΑmyDV, έχει προμηθεύσει σειρά ολοκληρωμένων Βroadcast λύσεων στην Gencom για την υλοποίηση πολυκαναλικής εγκατάστασης στην Fiji TV. H λύση περιλαμβάνει τα απαραίτητα για την παραγωγή και μετάδοση 25 καναλιών καθώς, και για την υποστήριξη της αναμετάδοσης των καναλιών της SKY Pacific και τα Premium Direct-to-Home (DTH) δορυφορικά προγράμματα της.
Gencom Technology designed and built the new solution in Auckland, New Zealand. “In talking to Gencom, it became clear that the Harris Broadcast integrated solution was the right option for us,” said Tarun Patel, CEO, Fiji TV. “We already rely on the Harris Broadcast NEXIO AMP® server platform and our experience so far has been extremely positive. For this reason, we were confident that we could rely on Harris Broadcast technology and, with help from Gencom, the two companies were able to design a solution specific to our needs.”
At the heart of the new facility is a Harris Broadcast Platinum™ router with integrated HView™ SX Pro multiviewers. This, alongside various 6800+™ modular processing systems, ensures reliable signal processing and monitoring across the entire Fiji TV facility.
The Harris Broadcast Platinum router broke industry barriers as the first to offer genuine dual-path routing, allowing video and audio to be contained in the same device without losing signal paths. HView SX Pro — easily the industry’s most scalable, highest-density multiviewer — delivers the exceptional quality and flexibility of today’s most advanced multiviewers in a smaller, smarter design.
“We recognize that every broadcaster in the world is different, and we aim to develop flexible solutions which will meet each customer’s real operational and commercial needs,” said Richard Hewitt, regional sales manager, Australia and New Zealand, Harris Broadcast. “Working with Gencom, we were able to build a solution for Fiji TV that meets each of their specific needs and is cost-effective, robust and highly reliable. We were also able to deliver the technology quickly and on budget – a key business driver for Fiji TV.”
The facility, now on-air, also incorporates a range of Harris Broadcast master control graphics and production solutions to enhance the on-air look across all channels. These systems include Inscriber® TitleOne™ AE graphics, plus the IconMaster™ master control switcher and IconLogo™ high-definition channel branding system.
Harris Broadcast has supplied a range of integrated broadcast solutions to international distributor and service provider, Gencom Technology Ltd, for the implementation of a multi-channel playout facility at Fiji TV. The solution at the leading television broadcaster in Fiji and the Pacific region encompasses the playout operation for 25 channels and also serves SKY Pacific, the Pacific’s premium direct-to-home (DTH) satellite pay TV service.
