Harris Corporation, an international communications
and information technology company, has received an order
from Special Broadcasting Service (SBS), Australia's multicultural
and multilingual public broadcaster, to supply a fully integrated
broadcast solution for the comprehensive rebuild of SBS Australia's
playout facility in Sydney.
The SBS playout facility will illustrate a real-world Harris
ONE™ installation, comprising integrated products from
its H-Class™ software suite and broadcast infrastructure
and server product lines.
Harris® D-Series™ playout automation will be combined
with the company's Invenio® digital asset management and
content workflow management to manage ingest, preparation
and playout using many of the products from across the integrated
Harris portfolio, including NEXIO AMP™ servers and a
Harris®/Isilon® systems clustered storage solution.
"The Harris ONE approach of integrating its products
along the workflow chain was a key factor in our decision
and will be a key element in the successful rebuild of our
playout facility," said Shaun Brown, managing director,
SBS Australia. "Harris has taken many steps to show its
strong commitment to broadcasters in Australia — from
the staffing of local service and support personnel to its
investment in research and development to meet local market
requirements. These factors make us very comfortable in placing
our trust in Harris for this important upgrade project."
"The Harris portfolio offers unparalleled interoperability
and cost efficiencies that enable broadcasters to leverage
their content like never before," said Tim Thorsteinson,
president of Harris Broadcast Communications. "Through
our ONE approach, we are committed to making it easier for
broadcasters, such as SBS, to upgrade their facilities, get
to air quickly and create new revenue streams, enabling them
to remain competitive."
Harris Broadcast Communications offers products, systems and
services that provide interoperable workflow solutions that
span the entire media delivery chain. The Harris ONE™
approach brings together highly integrated and cost-effective
products that are ideal for emerging media business models
and for customers upgrading media operations to digital and
high-definition services.
