Quicklink TX Selected For Skype Transmissions

ČT24 has chosen the Quicklink TX solution in order to broadcast Skype transmissions within the Czech television channels group, Česká televize. ČT24 provides 24-hour news coverage.

Martin Roztočil, IT manager of Czech TV, describes the reasons for choosing the Quicklink TX. He said: "It is very simple to use. We had a great experience using the Quicklink LNG software, so we wanted to try another product from Quicklink. We were looking for another Skype product because we were using standalone PCs with the standard Skype client. So there was a PC, Matrox device for SDI output, external sound card... A lot of devices and lot of potential errors... Now we have only one 1U piece of hardware."

Quicklink TX has been designed for use television production studios and other professional environments, enabling users to send Skype calls as SD/HD-SDI video with embedded or balanced analogue audio, and providing good call quality in HD video format.

Martin adds: "It's been really easy to use. The Quicklink TX has given us better call management as a broadcaster, including the ability to switch resolutions on the output and improved return audio sound."
