Galaxy build pay-TV platform with Miranda
Miranda Technologies has announced that Hong Kong-based Galaxy Satellite Broadcasting (GSB) Limited has built its new exTV pay-television platform with a multichannel playout control and monitoring environment that draws on virtually every product offered by Miranda - representing one of the largest and most comprehensive Miranda installations to date.
The Miranda Master Control Glass Cockpit system was installed by Ideal Systems Asia Pacific, based in Hong Kong, and uses more than US $1.2m of Miranda equipment, including 20 Kaleido-K2 multi-image display processors; 34 Imagestore 3/2 master control switching and channel branding processors with a Presmaster 2 master control panel system; an iControl Web-based control and monitoring system; Densité Series video and audio Control Probes for signal measurement and confidence monitoring over IP; and numerous other Miranda systems to support this infrastructure.
Ideal Systems has undertaken all the systems integration and provided training and support services for the new exTV platform run by Galaxy.
"In order to build a reliable center for exTV broadcasts, we wanted to place all monitoring functions for all the channels and systems in one central location," said Jim Butler, managing director at Ideal Systems Asia Pacific. "The Miranda Glass Cockpit system delivers this capability and provides easy control of each key piece of distribution and processing equipment within the playout infrastructure.
“The system has many features that simplify the control of multiple channels, such as the neat interfacing between the mixer and display wall, which ensures that the sources needed for any channel are automatically and instantly presented to the operator. The system also incorporates sophisticated alarming features, which alert operators to any problems in the playout chain. The highly graphical software also helps isolate any faults very quickly. Overall, this has created a very efficient and robust operation."
GSB exTV is an all-digital, multichannel satellite TV service operated from a new facility at the Television Broadcasts Limited (TVB) headquarters in Hong Kong. The 32-channel service offers exclusive programming in Cantonese and Mandarin, created by TVB, and a broad array of international news, information, movie and entertainment channels targeted to a wide viewing audience.
