Wurmsers net Wimbledon with Leitch Quattrus

With a history in broadcast television graphics extending back for more than 50 years, Wurmsers of London have been awarded the contract to supply the graphics content to the BBC for the 2003 Lawn Tennis Championships at Wimbledon.
For the heart of Wurmsers technical operation, exclusive UK reseller root6 have supplied the company with the recently-introduced Leitch Quattrus, the multi-layer, realtime NLE featuring the simultaneous playback of four video streams, six real-time graphics layers, and four channels of 3D DVE.
Wurmsers have been using their Quattrus, the first to be delivered in the UK, since March this year on a number of high-profile televised international sporting events including the Six Nations Rugby Championship, The Grand National, Formula One motor racing and horseracing in Dubai.
According to Wurmser Director Jeremy Tidy, they have been extremely impressed with the system’s performance. He said: “It’s an incredibly well-integrated and powerful NLE.
“The realtime multiple graphics and video streams are a real boon in our line of work which is dictated by live events.
“Also, Quattrus has a virtual filing system which means we can render our high-level graphic effects directly to the NLE’s timeline, there’s no consequential import/export process, so we save time. The Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Championship is one of the premier events in the world’s sporting calendar and we were delighted to have been able to demonstrate our creative and technical competence to the BBC. In this last respect, Leitch Quattrus proved to be a powerful asset.”
