Jetix Europe chooses Eyeheight master control

Jetix Europe has chosen Eyeheight's playout master control system for the Rome-based studio of its Italian-language children's television channel.
Formerly known as Fox-Kid Channel, Jetix Europe transmits by satellite and cable to 16 national regions. The Italian channel has opted for an Eyeheight playout A/B mix unit with a T-bar controller and two DK-3 modules. Each DK-3 provides background, fill and key inputs wipe, matte and garbage-matte generation, independent main and preview keyers and EDH reinsertion for the main output.
Installed recently by Sony Systems Italy, the Eyeheight playouts are being used for play-to-air presentation switching. The purchase was made via Eyeheight's exclusive Italian reseller, Media Signals Srl, located in Trezzano.
Introduced in 2003, Eyeheight's playout master control system is used by the world's largest broadcasters. Fully scalable, it can be configured to meet a network's exact current needs while retaining the option of easy and efficient future expansion.
The base unit is a 1U chassis capable of housing up to three independent channels. Eyeheight playout systems can be configured from a mix/wipe module, keyer, audio/voice-over module, internal cross-point, logo-store and dual-channel DVE.
