TURNER VIEWS OVER 500 SIGNALS WITH ZANDAR MULTIVIEWERS
April 1st 2004
Dublin, Ireland – After extensive
market evaluation, Zandar DX-16 multi image processors were chosen
by Turner Broadcasting Systems, Inc. for its new state of the art
Digital Satellite Compression Centers at its satellite uplink facilities
in Atlanta Georgia. Supplied through systems advisors Technical
Innovations Broadcast Solutions Group, these products allow Turner
to view up to 704 feeds simultaneously, including over 50 Turner
branded television networks, with unprecedented convenience.
In total 44 DX-16 were supplied for this prestigious new project,
where 22 units will be used in each of two separate buildings monitoring
main and redundant signals of every North and South American network
feed in each of the two facilities.
Bob Baker, Director of Transmissions and Distribution stated “The
ability to affordably view hundreds of feeds with quality was of
primary importance. The decision to use Zandar in this application
met both our technical and economic requirements head-on.”
Zandar’s position as a world leader in multi image display
solutions has led them to the primary choice of broadcasters worldwide.
Features such as auto detect of both analog and SDI inputs and composite,
component, SDI and line doubled VGA outputs have been developed
to provide customers with the flexibility to accommodate mixed analog
and digital environments. Reflecting Bob’s experience in broadcast
transmission he added “we like the standard alarms for loss
of video sync, black picture & frozen picture detection and
always have the option later add in-picture audio monitoring, which
give us peace of mind for the future”.
This prestigious sale is just the latest of several in the Americas
which includes organizations where Zandar has proven to be the prime
choice for display applications in facilities such Mellon Financial
Corporation (http://www.zandar.com/case_studies/4.htm),
