Panasonic, Official Worldwide Olympic Partner since 1988, have chosen the new Leitch Panacea compact routing switchers and 6800+ modular infrastructure platform to help provide broadcast coverage of the 2004 Athens Summer Games in Athens, Greece.
"Panasonic carefully surveyed the marketplace to ensure we were providing the most advanced and reliable technology for coverage of the Athens Games," said Panasonic. "Leitch's new Panacea routers provide on-air quality in an exceptionally compact form factor, and the 6800+ platform offers high-density modules and unparalleled control flexibility, making these solutions ideal for the demands of this momentous broadcast event.
