Miranda Technologies announced that Nova
TV, Greece’s premier film and sports playout provider,
has installed Miranda’s super-silent Kaleido-X16 multi-viewer
and multiple Imagestore 750 channel branding processors.
The compact Kaleido-X16 multi-viewer features 16-inputs, and
dual multi-viewer outputs, and offers the same high picture
quality, extreme layout flexibility, and ease of use as the
top of the range Kaleido-X processors.
“The Kaleido-X16 is the best 16x2 multi-viewer, in terms
of value for money on the market, and has an excellent range
of inputs - 3Gbps, HD, SD, and even PAL - with plenty of monitoring
and alarm features”, says Conrad Preen, who was contracted
as the chief architect for the new system at Nova TV.
Nova TV completed a large central control room with the assistance
of systems integrators, Telmaco, to monitor all 16 of its
television channels, as well as six live booths for use during
complex events. Each live booth comprises a mini control room
set up for one channel, and a commentary booth that can be
assigned to control, monitor and voice-over any television
channel.
“One of our aims was to create a system that would allow
the entire station to be monitored during the quiet shifts
by one or two operators, but allow extra operators and control
facilities to be assigned to channels during complex live
events”, says Conrad Preen.
The new facility design allows Nova TV to add more channels,
and expand control and monitoring facilities according to
the needs of specific programs, rather than the architecture
of the equipment.
To strengthen channel branding, Nova TV has also installed
10 of Miranda’s Imagestore 750 processors.
“The Imagestore 750 is a very powerful HD-ready tool
that let's you solve almost any channel branding problem within
the one box, and its 5.1 audio processing modules are ideal
for future HD playout,’ says Conrad Preen. “It’s
a machine which has been refined over many years, and this
shows”.
“The new facility is efficient, reliable and improves
the picture and sound quality of our channels”, says
Andreas Kontis, NOVA Broadcast Technical Systems Manager.
“We have invested in a range of state-of-the-art systems
in recent years to provide the best service to our subscribers”,
says Spiros Koutsoukis, NOVA Technical Director.
