ARISTON BTS has completed the installation of the first true tapeless TV station in Greece. RED TV is already broadcasting from Rhodes and also reaches Kos, Kalymnos and Patmos.

VSN’s automation solutions are used throughout the entire workflow. For example:

• AUTOREC DIRECTOR – Ingest system for ENGs, satellite feeds, XDCAM drives)
• AIRNEWS – Complete news automation with on line editing (APPLE FINAL CUT STUDIO) and control of the prompter and CG
• MATIC – Continuity automation which controls the system router (EVERTZ XENON), the master control switcher (EVERTZ QMC-MCS) and one CG (VSN CG)

RED TV has a modern 250sq.m. studio with 3 SONY DXC-D55. In the control room there is a 16-source DFS800. ENG crews carry XDCAM (SONY PDW510) and other SONY professional camcorders with HDD recording. In this way, a fully tapeless workflow is ensured.
