Marcello Masi: “This digitisation is an authentic revolution”
and Sarte and based on an executive design by Rai TV Production Management Engineering.” Although the total elimination of tapes will be a lengthy process, this was one of the key aspects involved, but engineering staffers emphasise other advantages, such as the fact that all users have the contents at their disposal on their workstations, streamlining workflow, even if requiring more technical experience. With this in mind, 500 Rai staffers took part in five-month training courses held by Avid specialists on the new system. Guido continues, “In order to install
the new system, we set up a provisional studio and control room with editing, graphics and documentation in another building. This enabled us to empty the entire first floor of building D, install the new systems, run test transmissions from 17-31 December with the journalists, simultaneously with the provisional set-up, then, on 31 December, the latter was switched off and the new set-up went on-air.”
Enrico Guido: “We now have great potential at our disposal and are facilitated in opening up new workflow possibilities”
Monitors. The control room also hosts three translator booths. The impeccably cabled main machine
room hosts equipment such as the Avid AirSpeed 5000 server for studio playout,
Rai has already announced that the TG2 project will be followed by TG1, TG3 and TGR regional news programmes, at a rate of six or seven per year
Kitted out Another ‘first’ for staff was the fact that the new studio control facilities are in one large room and not separate as was previously the case. An RTS Telex Adam- M modular digital matrix intercom system plays a fundamental role in the operation of such a complex dynamic environment, ensuring rapid effective communication. The production desk includes a Kayenne XL control panel for the Grass Valley Kayak HD 3 ME, 48-fader Stagetec Aurus audio console, controls for the Hitachi SK HD1000E cameras and two Compulite Spark 4D lighting consoles. Behind that desk, there is another hosting the desk chief, who manages the edition and can speak with any of the journalists calling in, two Deko titling machines and Vinten Radamec controls for two remote-controlled cameras in the main studio. It was decided not to adopt a multiviewer system, so there are 137 Sony OLED
Isis 7000 with 2,000 hours of layer 1 storage online, and 10,000 hours of layer 2 storage on HP EVA 8100, with Front Porch DIVArchive for HSM, all available in low and high res. Production resources are in an adjacent building on two linked Utah 400/XL (each 1056x1056) video matrices, alongside a Lawo Nova73 2500x1500 audio matrix. The two studios can have a maximum of eight Hitachi SK-HD1000E cameras, but currently there are six (three fixed, two remote-controlled and one on a jimmy jib) in the larger studio and three in the smaller one. Up to 24 different video feeds or one
large image can be displayed on the main studio’s vidi-wall, which comprises 30 track-mounted Samsung 46-inch LED elements and six NEC 55-inch LCDs. All the various types of cables installed (120km) are compliant with European flame-retardant grade specifications for LSZH cables and selected according to
