Snell Kahuna Multiformat Switcher Selected For Cambridge Broadcasting Facility
The BBC will install a Kahuna SD/HD mulitformat production switcher as a key component in its new state-of-the-art broadcasting facility in Cambridge, Snell has announced.
The broadcaster chose the Kahuna switcher as part of a comprehensive upgrade to digital and HD-ready broadcasting equipment, coinciding with the upcoming move to the new operations centre.
Systems integration and installation is being provided by Dega Broadcast Broadcast Systems, a UK-based provider of technical design and installation services to the broadcast industry.
As the live production switcher for BBC Cambridge's local news programming, the Kahuna will enable producers to seamlessly control video feeds from the studio, servers and remote cameras. In addition to the main evening news broadcast, the Kahuna's ability to interface with a Calrec audio system will enable a small crew to easily produce short news bulletins throughout the day. The integrated IMPAKT DVE option from Snell will enable operators to access a variety of powerful 3D digital effects.
Kahuna's multiformat SD/HD capabilities, enabled by Snell FormatFusion technology will smooth the way for any future transition to HD production a BBC Cambridge by allowing operators to seamlessly mix content from SD sources into HD broadcasts without requiring expensive upconversion equipment. In addition, Kahuna's intuitive and industry-familiar control panels will allow the new facility and its operators to get up and running quickly.
