Court TV choose Sundance Digital's Fastbreak Automation solution

Court TV, one of the fastest growing basic cable services in the US, have fitted out their new digital master control facility with a fully redundant Sundance Digital FastBreak Automation™ solution.
Working with Joe Schwinghammer, V.P. of Engineering at Court TV, systems integrator A. F Associates' Mario Patuto, Automation Specialist, and Tom Michales, Project Manager, Sundance designed a system that achieved Court TV's requirements of boosting consistency and reliability through increased technology and decreased human participation.
"Court TV's on-air product is much more consistent using FastBreak Automation," said Rob Pumo, SVP Operations. "Discrepancies have decreased significantly."
The new facility relies on a redundant two-channel FastBreak Automation system that drives three Profile XP video servers: two PVS 1026s for play-to-air, and one PVS 1044 for ingesting the content. Court TV's FastBreak Automation system is also integrated with an advanced digital asset management and an Avalon Archive solution linked to an ADIC Scaler 10K robotic archive.
