BTS Scoops Contract With Fox Turkey

BTS broadcast technology solutions been awarded the contract for the second HD upgrade phase of Fox Turkey, which is one the main channels in Turkey.
After completing the first HD upgrade of the playout centre last year FOX Turkey started to broadcast its HD channel through Digiturk, one of the largest pay TV platforms in Turkey. To increase Fox's HD production capabilities for the HD channel BTS now will upgrade a large production studio and expand the tapeless HD production system. The whole installation will be finished in August 2013.
The upgrade includes the extension of the existing Grass Valley Trinix routing switcher, the Grass Valley K2-SAN storage and the upgrade of the existing Grass Valley Kayak production switcher as well as the integration of additional Grass Valley K2 Summit servers and Panasonic HC 3500 cameras. The monitoring will be redesigned based on Miranda multi-viewers and Panasonic displays. More Ingest channels and Grass Valley Edius Editing Stations will be added to the production system allowing edit-in-place capability for an improved production workflow.
The new contract for the upgrade of the production studio to HD is the result of an intensive and successful business relation between Fox Turkey and BTS which had designed and installed the entire new FOX broadcast center in Istanbul in 2009.
