Avitech's Multiviewers Ensure Accurate
Visual Monitoring of Broadcast Signals
Avitech International Corporation, an industry leader in multi-image
display processors announced today that Greece's public broadcaster
ERT S.A. (Hellenic Radio & Television) is installing over
50 high definition (HD) and standard definition (SD) multiviewer
modules to visually monitor a variety of studio, master control,
satellite, and DTT signal feeds. The new Avitech multiviewer
system, supplied by KEM Electronics S.A., Avitech's Greek
representative, will allow ERT to upgrade their existing infrastructure
to HD.
ERT, which operates a number of television and radio channels
in Greece, was faced with the challenge of managing the visual
monitoring of a number of SD and HD video signals throughout
their facilities. With the news system, ERT will utilize the
Avitech HD multviewers for their Digital Terrestrial channels
(Sport+, Prisma+, Cine+) Master Control and Studio Control
areas as well as the Satellite Feeds area of the station.
The Avitech SD Multiviewers will be used in the main ERT Analogue
Terrestrial channel (NET) Master Control area.
Due to Avitech's modular and no single point of failure architecture,
any module or display failure of the Digital Master Control
Monitor Wall can be addressed by the push of a button thus
providing an unrivalled level of resilience. A seamless interface
to the Pro-Bel routing switchers feeding the Avitech Multiviewers,
allows the display of a combination of static and dynamic
source labels for the Multiviewer Window's UMDs.
Each Avitech MCC-8004U Multiviewer module handles up to 4
auto-detect HD-SDI, SD-SDI / composite video inputs, and provide
a high quality output resolution up to 1920 x 1200. Cascading
modules allow the display of the desired number of sources
per monitor. The Avitech systems are designed to work efficiently
in production and playout environments, offering key features
such as; accepting HD-SDI, SD-SDI and analog video sources
with auto-detect capability, embedded audio monitoring, parallel
and serial tally, exceptionally low power consumption, as
well as on-screen alarm indicators for video and audio status,
all while maintaining the correct aspect ratio whether it
be 4:3 or 16:9.
"Avitech has met all specifications and provided the
best price/performance solution in the tender issued by ERT,"
commented Mr. Michalitsis, Director of Technical Development.
"As European broadcasters continue to upgrade their facilities
to HD, they are increasingly moving toward multi-image display
processing solutions for the visual monitoring of signals,"
stated Michel Rudelle, EMEA Regional Manager for Avitech.
"We are honored to be working with ERT and helping them
achieve greater flexibility and efficiency."
