ARISTON BROADCAST & TELECOM SOLUTIONS SA announces the integration of ORT. The project includes the designing, supply and installation of equipment. ORT is a peripheral TV station channel based in Pyrgos.

It uses entirely VSN automations. It has 2 ingest servers (VSN CAPTURERS), complete news system with playout server (VSN AIRNEWS) to control prompter and CG. There are 6 ADOBE PREMIERE stations for editing news and productions and exporting either to the news or to the TX server (VSN matic). VSN matic has the ability to control CG (VSN CG) and the master control switcher (EVERTZ QMC). At the heart of the TV station is a fully redundant router (EVERTZ XENON), the interfaces are from CRYSTAL VISION, while the production equipment is from SONY (vision mixer DFS-800, studio cameras DXC-D55, LCD wall monitors, etc.).

Commenting, the Executive Director of the TV station Mr. Kostas Varouxis said: “We wanted to upgrade the station with entirely digital equipment and be prepared to exploit the capabilities of DVB-T. We did a market research for more than a year, trying to evaluate all the proposals we had in our hands. We felt that the extensive use of automations was mandatory since we wanted to keep operational costs low. Ease of handling the automations and ease of expansion of the system was very important for us. As result we have chosen the proposal we consider to be better, safer (we visited other TV stations to watch similar systems in operation) and better supported, without ignoring total cost.”
