Pixel Power Supplies BrandMaster To RTÉ

Pixel Power has provided Irish national broadcaster RTÉ with six of the company’s BrandMaster systems.
RTÉ Television changed from Pro-bel Compass automation to Snell Morpheus last year, necessitating the replacement of the station’s presentation mixers
Currently, there are five BrandMaster systems in live service across the broadcaster’s channels – RTÉ One, RTÉ Two (SD and HD), RTÉ Junior (a children’s channel) and an engineering test channel. The sixth system is held as a spare as part of an SLA agreement
Peter Duggan, who was the Project Manager for the recently completed group of RTÉ Television Presentation Projects, said: "Two of our channels – RTÉ One and RTÉ Two (SD/HD) – are highly reactive services. As a consequence transmission output is routinely at the mercy of live content. The requirement for manual intervention is an essential one in such a broadcast environment.
"BrandMaster technology delivers the necessary tight and bi-directional integration to and from RTÉ Television’s Morpheus automation system. The very proactive support from Pixel Power throughout the implementation and commissioning phases of the recently completed projects has been impressive and a truly collaborative one. This relationship continues now that the BrandMaster systems are on-air in the station’s transmission chains."
RTÉ has deployed both Pixel Power’s hardware Video Switch Panel control technology as well as its overarching, touchscreen-based PPMC (Pixel Power Management Console).
James Gilbert, Joint MD, Pixel Power, said: "It’s often easy to forget that live broadcasting is still a fundamental part of what so many broadcasters do. Rather than forget that, our technology has been constantly developed to provide broadcasters with the flexibility and level of integration that they require."
