The Uruguayan channel will be acquiring
HD solutions to upgrade their Monte Carlo News Center installations
with VSN.
Canal 4 Monte Carlo, a television channel with one of the
longest trajectories in the Uruguayan media, will be turning
50 next 2011.
As one of the pioneers in the introduction of digital techniques
in their broadcast playout, the channel unfolds an upgrading
and modernization plan of their systems trusting VSN once
again.
The channel plans to upgrade their Monte Carlo News Production
Center to high definition by the end of August. They have
been working with vsnnews systems there since 2008. Monte
Carlo TV has trusted VSN with the comprehensive renewal of
their workflow, which will be based on a high-definition format
from now on.
The project includes a new redundant, 2-channel broadcast
playout server vsnairnews ensuring non-stop playout and high
resistance to failure. Their current 4-channel ingest system
vsnautorec will be upgraded to HD and a storage module vsnstorage,
with capacity for over 300 hours of high definition video,
will be included in the installation. Canal 4 Monte Carlo
operates on a 100% tapeless news production system, from news
gathering on site to news airing, thus bringing huge savings
in production costs and equipment maintenance. Undoubtedly,
this has contributed to the positioning of their news bulletin
among the most-viewed news programs in Uruguay.
Concerning the choice of VSN as a technology supplier for
their news production system, Jorge Spinella, Technical Manager
of Monte Carlo TV, stated: "We work in highly-demanding
environments where a single failure might imply a broadcast
interruption. The service provided by the manufacturer of
our equipment will prove a key factor of our choice. VSN has
provided us with an excellent support service over the last
3 years so we have decided to put in their hands the HD upgrade
of our news area, including a redundant broadcast playout
system".
VSN will be soon announcing new important project awards in
South America, where, through a close collaboration with its
dealers, the Spanish company is consolidating its activity
and recognition.
