Premier Media Group Looks To Multi-Resolution Future With Quantel

Australian sports broadcaster Premier Media Group (PMG) has purchased a Quantel Enterprise sQ system to provide a platform to help it continue to meet the new challenges of the fast-evolving, multi-resolution media landscape over the coming years.
FOX Sports News has been produced using Quantel server-based production technology for a number of years. Tony Scanlan, PMG Chief Technology Officer, said: "While our existing Quantel system has served us well over the years, production imperatives have changed and we now need to be able to handle a range of formats including HD, in addition to speeding material to air."
Scanlan continued: "We, of course, reviewed all the broadcast manufacturers' systems very carefully before making our choice. In the end though, it was a very straightforward decision - Quantel has by far the fastest flight time from ingest to air, produces great looking pictures and has comfortably the most versatile and easy to use editing tools. It also allows us to mix HD and SD material on the same server - or indeed, on the same timeline - without having even to think about it."
The new system at PMG FOX Sports News will be built around four Quantel sQ servers, offering approximately 1,000 hours of SD storage (or 280 hours of HD). This will support 18 sQ Cut desktop editors and four sQ Edit plus craft editors; a Quantel sQ Load application will look after ingest operations.
