VectorBox Automates Playout for TV2 East Jutland's New Community Channel
Denmark broadcaster puts Vector 3 automation technology at the core of their new community driven channelBarcelona, Spain – December 1, 2009 – Vector3™, a pioneer in graphics and playout solutions, announced that TV2 East Jutland, Denmark, has purchased the VectorBox solution to manage the playout automation at Channel East Jutland.
TV2 East Jutland is one among 8 regional TV-stations referring to TV2 Denmark. In addition to supplying TV2 Denmark with live regional news programs, TV2 East Jutland is running the NEW community channel, called Channel East Jutland. A community channel where local public TV-stations, selected by the Danish Radio- and TV-committee, are authorized to create and air programs.
Launched in November 2009, Channel East Jutland is utilizing the Vectorbox to manage the storage and broadcast of programs.
”Going on-air with our new DVB-T Community Channel on the 1st. of November we had a very short time frame to acquire a solution to automate the broadcast of our programs. But quickly we narrowed it down to two systems who could do the job and our choice fell on VectorBox,” said Jesper Brandenborg , CFO, TV2 East Jutland. We chose VectorBox because the system ensured us - safe handling of video material in broadcast quality - and not least, transmission of our programs in broadcast quality. A crucial element was that VectorBox came as all-in-one box - with a graphics solution integrated to deal with a very large part of our graphics needed for news. Additionally, our demand to acquire a very stable and highly reliable system was crucial. Finally VectorBox with its multi-channel management fits perfectly into our existing system and helps us to automate a part of our broadcasting on TV 2 as well. Credit to AVIT-Systems, who managed to deliver and install with short notice - in less than a month we where on-air with the new channel!”
AVIT-Systems, a premiere system integrator for the Danish broadcast market, lead the design and installation of TV2 East Jutland. A long term Vector 3 business partner, Martin Nathan, Product Manager, AVIT-Systems said of the Vector 3 technology “we can install the Vector 3 playout solutions with confidence. The reliability, performance and versatility are a well known entity and ideal for any broadcast situation whether they are realizing continuity playout or deploying a more complex multi-channel infrastructure.”
