TELE-CINE INVEST IN OMNEON TECHNOLOGY

TELE-CINE, part of the Liberty Livewire group of companies and one of Europe’s leading video and audio production centres, have invested further in Omneon technology.
Tele-Cine are enhancing their current Networked Content Server to support the new gaming channel ‘Go Barking Mad’.
The Omneon server system currently installed at Tele-Cine is the centerpiece of the facility's ‘Short Form’ duplication area at their Charlotte Street site.
Steve Fish, Vice President of Engineering for Tele-Cine and Todd-AO, said: “We are very pleased with how the Omneon server has performed over the past year, so we decided to expand the system to support the playout of this new channel. The installation now includes Omneon’s Extended File System which gives us the scalability we need to grow the system into new application areas such as transmission. Being able to mix and match formats on the same server means we can use it for both uncompressed dubbing work and DV-based transmission.”
Supplied by Boxer Systems, Omneon’s UK Distributors, the sale includes DV/MPEG MediaPorts for encoding multiple formats of video and audio, additional storage for the Extended File System to allow the level of scalability needed, and IEEE 1394 Switches for networking the system. (CD)
