Television Metropolitana Canal 22 has integrated an Omneon Spectrum media server system into its Mexico City facility for commercial, promo, network ID, and program playout.
In addition to providing a foundation for tapeless operations, the new server system allows Canal 22 to streamline its master control timing workflow, enhance the quality of its on-air signal, and improve interaction between playout and the network's storage, traffic, continuity, and editing departments.
The server provides Canal 22 with a reliable and scalable infrastructure that will simplify the transition to a tapeless environment. It interfaces with NVerzion automation to control Canal 22's current on-air channels, Channel 22 National and Channel 22 International.
The server system features a storage capacity of 2TB, or 139 hours of MPEG-2 playout at 25Mb/s. The server supports a broad variety of third-party applications for control and transmission, media management, archiving, and collaborative production.
Systems integrator AMTEC assisted in the server installation, managing final integration and coordinating installation, commissioning, and training.
