CBS Atlanta Completes HD Upgrade With Ross

CBS Atlanta selected Ross' Vision 4 QMD-X Multi-Definition Production Switcher and SoftMetal Video Server for their recent HD upgrade.
CBS Atlanta is a Meredith Corporation owned television station located in Atlanta, Georgia. Ross was chosen for Vision's feature set and SoftMetal's tight integration with the switcher.
CBS Atlanta is broadcasting local HD programming daily with Ross since January, 2009.
Steve Flanagan, Director of Broadcast Operations and Engineering, CBS Atlanta, said: "Vision's powerful features, ease of use, and ongoing free software and phone support were major factors in our decision to go with Ross.
"Another advantage was SoftMetal and its ability to offer on the fly flexible channel configurations and software CODECS. We are quite pleased with the performance of Vision and SoftMetal and the overall Ross support has definitely helped us to achieve our goal to broadcast high quality newscasts in HD."
David Ross, CEO, Ross Video, said: "I've viewed first hand CBC Atlanta's local news productions and they're the most technically sound HD newscast in the market. Ross plays a significant role in making their newscasts visually appealing. We look forward to supporting their technical production needs."
