ATG Broadcast Completes HD Routing Project For TV4 Sweden
ATG Broadcast, a leading international systems integrator, has announced the completion of a major routing system upgrade for Sweden's largest independent television channel, TV4.
The new installation is the latest in an ongoing technical expansion programme to equip the network for HD.
Jonas Collsloo, TV4's Chief Technical Officer, said: "This contract centres on the installation of a 3 gigabit/s-native 576 x 576 Cygnus HD routing frame equipped as a 324 x 312 matrix with dual redundant power supplies, dual redundant controllers and four monitoring outputs. It follows on from the addition of Harris NEO HD-SDI/SD-SDI video routing switchers, which ATG Broadcast installed in March. One of the first applications of the Cygnus is to process HD feeds from the 2008 UEFA European Football Championship currently being hosted by Austria and Switzerland. ATG has worked closely with us over several years as we develop our Stockholm studios in a strategically-planned engineering programme to matching our progressively expanding business."
ATG Broadcast's Sales Director Alan Pimm said: "The Cygnus router was chosen for its excellent combination of configurability, compactness and energy-efficiency. The new installation is located in TV4's central apparatus room and operated from the master control suite. TV4's transmission centre is a showpiece of Scandinavian efficiency which clearly demonstrates the benefits in terms of efficiency to be gained from fully file-based archiving and playout."
