Tapeless TV Korea channel launched in
US; live and continuity playout powered by Vector broadcast
servers
Vector3, a pioneer in graphics and playout solutions, announced
that TV Korea has built a brand new studio in Los Angeles,
CA with the VECTORBOX integrated playout solutions at the
heart of the operation. TV Korea is a fully owned DTV Channel
of RK Media Group, one of South Korea's largest broadcasters.
The state-of-the-art facility is designed to deliver high-quality
Korean programming 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. The line-up
includes a combination of popular shows produced in Korea
with a variety of live news and thematic programs produced
in the Los Angeles studio. The tapeless production and playout
infrastructure consists of Apple Final Cut Pros for editing,
For-A and Harris for multi-viewing and routing of media standard
IT storage, with Vector managing the media ingest, content
and graphics playout and automation for both continuity and
live broadcasts.
"The Korean-American community relies heavily on our
abilities to deliver relevant and timely news as well as entertainment.
It was important that we built a studio with flexible technology
that enabled us to deliver on both," comments SangDae
Kim, Director of TV Programming & Production, TV Korea.
"Vector has a phenomenal reputation for their world-class
technology. The price-performance value proposition far exceeded
their peers and the customer satisfaction with existing broadcasters
made the decision to go with Vector easy."
"Our systems are developed on open-IT based standards
and support a wide range of equipment and languages. TV Korea
wanted a mix of solutions backed with insurance and proven
success of a fully integrated ingest – playout solution.
Our global references and wide range of installation configurations
serve as proven experience that our solutions are capable
of managing a wide range of workflows with unbeatable performance
and reliability," said Roman Ceano, president and founder,
Vector 3.
Broadcast system integrator IISN Systems, who specializes
in Korean systems integrations, designed and deployed the
installation at TV Korea Los Angeles. The sister operation
in New York is due to launch later in 2009.
The file-based workflow provides a flexible infrastructure
for supporting the current 80 plus staff, easily scaling the
operation as TV Korea expands its programming options. In
addition to delivering full ingest and playout capabilities,
the Vector system allows users to update graphics on the fly.
Satellite, RSS data or MXL feeds can be branded – manually
or automated - during live playout.
The TV Korea installation was integrated and deployed by IISN
in 16 days.
