ATG Broadcast Completes Installation Of Ingest Suite For BBC Post

ATG Broadcast has completed the installation of an ingest suite for the BBC Post Production, division of BBC Resources Ltd. Located adjacent to the Entertainment Editing Village on the fourth floor of Television Centre, the new facility allows content arriving on video tape to be transferred to a 24-client 48 terabyte Avid Unity Isis disk server prior to editing.
"The new Stage 5 ingest suite increases editing efficiency by integrating into a single room facilities that were previously housed in two separate areas," said ATG Broadcast Sales Director, Alan Pimm.
"Up to three edit assistants can work in the suite simultaneously. Each workstation can be assigned to control any of five Avid networked editors in any configuration, routed via a BNCS touch-panel controller to local or remote video tape machines," he said, noting that the suite is used both for BBC and independent programme production and the area is in operation up to 24 hours, seven days a week, depending on requirements.
The ingest suite includes an L-shaped quality-control desk with integral Custom Consoles Media Wall monitor rack plus two single-operator editing desks in face-to-face configuration.
The Media Wall supports six LCD monitors showing current ingest tasks. Beneath these monitors are six smaller LCD units which are used to display VT status. All three desks are from Custom Consoles' M-Desk Technical series.
The quality-control desk accommodates a 19 inch Ikegami HD CRT monitor and Tektronix waveform analyser plus an ATG SAM audio monitoring unit.
Eight VTRs (Panasonic D3, Sony Digital Betacam and Sony DVcam) are housed externally plus two DVcam within the suite.
The installation includes Pro-Bel Axis HD video routing, Quartz audio routing and an Adder CAT-X for the ingest engine KVMs. Router control is provided by BBC Post Production's BNCS automation system with a custom touch-screen user interface.
The ingest suite is used to process content for a variety of programmes produced in Stage 5 and forms part of BBC Post Production's continuing migration from SD video tape to file-based SD and HD operation.
ATG Broadcast Ltd is an industry-leading international systems integrator with an unsurpassed reputation for the technical stability, operational efficiency and affordability of its installations.
A member of the Dan Technologies Group based near London, ATG Broadcast combines long experience of traditional broadcast equipment and computer-based media management systems.
