RETEVISION'S INTERNATIONAL TELEPORT RELIES ON ZANDAR FUSIONPRO
MULTIVIEWERS
November 16th 2004
Retevision, Spain’s national carrier for commercial television
recently completed a large project for a new state of the art control
room, installing Zandar FusionPro MultiViewers at the core of its
broadcast facility. Sited at the Telepuerto Iternacional de Arganda.
T.I.A.R. near Madrid is the largest broadcast contribution and distribution
centre in Spain.
The earth station manages feeds for all the company’s satellite
operations in Europe and the Americas through a huge complex, supervised
and controlled in a new central control room. Ibérica de
Componentes was appointed as the turnkey contractor for the new
control room facilities, installing 10 Zandar FusionPro MultiViewer
systems which display more than 160 video signals and 4 VGA input
signals. Each of the compact 3RU FusionPro systems can display up
to 26 source signals, providing expansion capacity and is managed
from the Z Manager Java based client server application which allows
Retevision to set up and edit the output display characteristics
from a centralised control position. The resulting multi image outputs
are fed to 50” Mitsubishi rear projectors, which together,
form a video wall for operators to view all network signals passing
through the international teleport. This Zandar system is mission
critical for the Retevision as the majority of Spanish broadcasters
use this facility for their satellite distribution and contribution
feeds.
The turnkey contract included delivery, installation and commissioning
of the complete system and commenting of their choice, Carlos Laborda,
Managing Director of integrator Ibérica de Componentes said
“Retevision has very stringent requirements for high quality
signal monitoring which were more than met by the FusionPro system.
Its flexibility was key to the high density of images we were able
to display and the powerful Z manager software allowed us to optimise
the output display configuration to the large VideoWall. Retevision
have the re-assurance that as their monitoring system evolves with
more traffic through then centre, they can quickly edit and create
new display configurations to suit the operators and key channels”
Carlos added “The FusionPro has shown to be very reliable
and we would have no hesitation in recommending this system again”.
Zandar’s FusionPro system is the most advanced MultiViewer
in the world with a host of features developed in conjunction with
broadcasters over many years. Extensively used for 24/7, 365 mission
critical operations it is a popular choice for central control rooms
and monitoring facilities worldwide.
