Leitch selected for digital newsroom facility in Panama

Panama's leading private broadcaster, Corporacion MEDCOM, have chosen Leitch's VR platform for their new digital newsroom facility.
"We chose Leitch because of its leading development in shared storage architecture," said Antonio Perez, MEDCOM's engineering manager. "The VR and NEWSFlash platform will give our company the competitive edge needed to maintain our dominance in the news segment of our market."
The system will be running news operations for MEDCOM's Channel 4 and Channel 13, both of which will feature four hours of news programming per day.
Included in the system are four ingest channels, four playout channels, 10 NEWSFlash-II editing suites and multiple journalist workstations based on Leitch's BrowseCutter-II low-resolution editing and browsing platform.
The Leitch equipment is MOS compliant and will be tightly integrated with ENPS, the AP newsroom computer system.
