Fuji TV Goes Live With Tektronix Cerify

Tektronix, a leading worldwide provider of test, measurement and monitoring solutions, has announced that Fuji Television Network (Fuji TV) has adopted the Tektronix Cerify file-based content verification system, to support the company's move to a file-based workflow environment.
One of the world's earliest multi-unit deployments of Cerify is now fully in-service. The deployment is comprised of 10 units, which went live on December 1, 2008. Each unit is able to verify four files simultaneously enabling Fuji TV to maintain its commitment to providing its viewers with the highest quality video possible.
As part of the company's master control room rebuild, Fuji TV took the opportunity to upgrade to a file-based workflow, including a content verification system. Tektronix Cerify is the only automated product that fully tests all aspects of a digital audio and video file to ensure that it meets system parameters, formats, resolutions, bit-rates, video/audio quality levels, metadata and compliance/correctness to a wide range of specified video and audio standards.
Kenji Hayakawa, Director of Broadcasting Coordination Section, Broadcasting Control Centre, Technical Department at Fuji TV, said: "Our master control room renovation signifies a landmark attempt in the Japanese broadcasting industry to move future content to file-based. Tektronix technology expertise was important to our success in the adoption of file-based workflow. We believe that we can now offer higher-quality video services to our viewers through the deployment of Cerify."
