Quantel Weighs In With Free HD Newsbox HD

At NAB Quantel announced that Newsbox HD, its tapeless HD news system ‘in a box’ will now feature full HD capability for free.
Newsbox HD systems will be available for the same competitive price as the SD version of Newsbox. In addition, the previous fixed Newsbox configurations have been replaced, allowing customers the flexibility to choose the number of seats, ports and various other options to configure Newsbox HD to their own business requirements.
“Many small broadcasters are still using tape because, while re-equipping at SD makes no sense, the cost of HD tapeless systems have historically been too high,” commented John Woodhouse, Senior Product Manager, Quantel. “With Newsbox HD Quantel is offering HD quality at SD prices, plus a system that is scalable all the way from the smallest call-letter stations to large, regional broadcasters.”
With Newsbox HD, users can freely mix and match SD and HD material on the same timeline, with the Newsbox HD system automatically up and down rezing and handling aspect ratio conversions on the fly as needed.
Effectively this gives broadcasters the flexibility to make the switch over to HD when their business model demands it rather than when their technology imposes it, as well as continuing to maximise the value of their existing SD footage.
Newsbox HD can also grow with their business as it is fully scalable from five to 25 seats without changing the server.
“Newsbox HD’s toolset and common progressive user interface has long made it the most comprehensive and versatile tapeless solution in the market,” said Woodhouse. “By adding HD for free, as well as including one year’s free QCare cover, we’ve also made it the most cost-effective and future-proof as well.”
