necessary.” The EVS units in place at Channel One incorporate four recording inputs and eight playout ports.
Newsroom upgrade Channel One’s newsroom is also a major user of EVS technology. Here, 30 Xedio CleanEdit stations provide timeline editing with no rendering required — enabling packagers to be put to air within seconds of the material being ready. These finished edits from Xedio CleanEdit can be used directly for playout or passed to Avid craft editors, if more sophisticated editing is needed. As an interesting aside, this
new tapeless technology in the newsroom went to air for the first time on the night of the Russian Presidential Election in 2008. Clearly, there was a great deal of confidence in the system and those who had installed it. “That was an event when you
wanted to be certain everything would work perfectly. But then, OKNO-TV is one of the biggest partners of EVS in Russia, and

we were sure of the system,” declares Kalanchekaev. As the first stage of the
upgrade project — studios, MCR, ingest — was drawing to a close, OKNO-TV was asked to carry out a similar operation for the news department. The newsroom operation uses Viz Content Pilot template filler in association with the Dalet News Suite — the channel’s primary NRCS for wire ingests, scripting
and rundown management. The Dalet NRCS integrates via MOS with EVS Xedio Suite which is used for ingest, editing and playout. The Dalet system also integrates with video switchers and prompters.
Although the digitising of the main production tapes to archive will take some time to complete, the process involving news stories has already been fulfilled. “One major part of the
HD upgrade was to complete a file exchange programme that would greatly improve the workflow at Channel One,” explains Kalanchekaev. “This means that shortly it will be possible for all the production islands — EVS, editing, producers and so on — to have access to the archive and manage movement of materials in file format. And that will eliminate the need to search through hours
broadcaster in Russia and its production and technical requirements are multifaceted to meet the number of live hours it produces, the span of time zones that are involved and the desire to achieve the highest possible standards,” states Igor Yadykin, Channel One representative. “We looked briefly at a Channel in a Box solution, but decided that the complexity of the operation demanded something more. As a result, OKNO-TV brought together a number of equipment suppliers to meet some very specific needs,” says Yadykin.
