Pinnacle win $3m networked news solution order

Pinnacle Systems have announced that Global Television Network, whose broadcast stations reach more than 94% of households in Canada, have placed an order valued at over US$3 million to upgrade their tape-based facilities with all-digital networked news systems from Pinnacle.
The networked broadcast solution will be deployed at Global's flagship News facilities in Toronto and Vancouver where the highly efficient workflow will enable Global News to get stories to air faster and more easily.
Global News are installing a broad mix of products from Pinnacle that includes Pinnacle Liquid Edition systems for craft and field editing, Vortex DeskEdit systems for journalists, Palladium Store shared storage, and Vortex I/O for ingest and playout. The highly scalable system will enable Global News to ingest video material once, where the multi-resolution Vortex server will make it immediately available for browsing, editing news stories, creating on air promotions, and playing out to air. Pinnacle Vortex provides all users on the network with access to all media - video, audio, and graphics - without having to worry about bandwidth, storage limitations, or copying.
Bob Burns, Director of Technical Services at Global Television, said: "Networked, digital systems built on standard IT-components have clearly emerged as the solution of choice for meeting the reliability, performance and efficiency requirements of today's demanding news environments.
"By delivering advanced news solutions to some of the most demanding broadcast environments worldwide, Pinnacle have proven their ability to conceive, develop, deploy and support these solutions. We look forward to the benefits that Pinnacle's products and services will bring to Global's news operations."
