Leitch win significant BBC News order

Leitch Technology have announced that the BBC have chosen NEO for 36 channels of digital infrastructure, to run bi-directionally between BBC News' new digital video server system and their wider analogue environment.
The order comprises seven FR-3903-E racks at the central hub, housing 38 AVM-3901-A multiplexers, along with 38 DMX-3901-A de-multiplexers running under Leitch's CCS Pilot control and monitoring software.
Twenty-two FR-3901 racks, each housing one DAC-3981 and one ADC-3981, will be supplied to provide bi-directional audio conversion to digital edit stations at dispersed locations.
Barry Todd, managing director, Leitch Europe, said: "This is the first time the BBC have chosen our NEO product, and we are absolutely delighted that it lived up to its stringent technical evaluations.
"Winning this contract proves that we have developed one of the best modular product lines on the market."
NEO is an advanced and innovative infrastructure architecture that accommodates routing, distribution, clock and signal reference products, along with an extensive range of interface, conversion, synchronisation and compression solutions for all analogue, digital, SD and HD systems.
