BTV now has all the components available for traffic, NRCS, production and archive
work on any operating system and business model. It was especially suited to our needs because we achieve complete end-to-end integration starting from assignment list creation for Stratus up to playout rundown from Aurora Play.” Using full MOS protocol support, Octopus6 not only integrates with the Stratus application and the Grass Valley Aurora live playout system, but also the Orad Maestro graphics device and BTV’s Autocue QMaster teleprompting system. The playout application sits in line between the Stratus computer system and the K2 media client playout channels, and is used for live (as compared to automated) playout. Programme playout is based
on a Grass Valley K2 Edge Elite Integrated playout unit operating in 1+1 redundancy. This is used in conjunction with Cobalt automation, Grass Valley TX MAM and Channel Composer. Dememe explains that
through the web-based GUI of K2 TX/MAM, all the assets including video clips, audio clips, captioning, metadata, and graphic elements on
the discrete K2 Edge playout nodes can be controlled. “The Cobalt playlist management includes processes running natively on each K2 Edge that manages all on-air events, and for increased reliability, runs completely independently from the database and application PC.” Channel Composer creates and enhances the on-air look of the channel. K2 Edge outputs both templated graphics and defined data streams, which are then referenced together as ‘live’ integrated elements in the on-air playlist. At the heart of Baltijos

of the arrangement, “By incorporating the one M/E soft panel and specialised keyboard option for production in the news studio, we can use the main panel at the same time for programmes in our larger studio. All this from just one 2.5 ME frame.” He adds, “We also value the
integrated K2 Solo server from which graphics with Key and Fill are played, and the dual frame stores on each of six keyers per ME and the Flexikey option which simplifies production.” The two studios are equipped with a
control room built around Grass Valley Trinix routing switcher, consisting of 128x256 cross points with built in multiviewers. “This router provides excellent signal

Dear video engineers, Happily, for you it is.
Yep, you read it right. After over 40 years’ innovation in the fi eld of professional audio technology, the time has come for Lawo to take a look at professional video equipment. And introduce a totally new concept: The V__pro8 is a high-performance video processor that can be installed in next to no time. Requiring minimal space, it allows 8 video channels to be used freely with 384 audio channels. And does so using modern protocols like 3G-SDI, MADI and RAVENNA, and easy touch operation. In addition, the V__pro8 offers format conversion, color correction and many other features to make the day-to-day work of the video engineer a joy. The V__pro8 is the perfect bridge- builder in the world of broadcasting — at an unbelievable price. Why not ask your colleagues in Sound what it’s like working with Lawo?
