Sundance Digital, Inc., the leading provider of broadcast automation solutions, announced today that it recently commissioned a Titan™ automation system for the United States Navy's “Direct to Sailor” TV (DTS-TV), a satellite television service based in Riverside, Calif.

The Titan automation system enables the Navy to distribute multiple channels of programming to some 260 Navy, Coast Guard and Military Sealift Command ships on-duty around the globe. DTS-TV operates under the umbrella of the Naval Media Center (NMC).

The NMC needed to replace a legacy automation system and modernize its operation with newer transmission technologies. For the switch-over, they temporarily installed a small Titan package in order to stay on-air using the original playback devices, while the larger primary Titan system was brought on-line in a new control room nearby. With the installation complete, the smaller Titan is now available for use during system maintenance and future channel expansion.

"DTS-TV's state-of-the-art five channel automation system helps the Navy bring a touch of home to our sailors and marines serving worldwide, by providing a mix of news, sports and entertainment programming," said Steve Krant, Sundance Digital's vice president of Sales and Marketing. “Titan is a robust, highly scalable automation system capable of controlling many hundreds of channels in a facility, or remotely managing playlists at multiple, geographically separated locations.”
