Fisher Communications enhances local news workflow at three stations
Jul 1, 2009 2:33 PM
Fisher Communications in Seattle, WA, is adding Bitcentral’s Précis 4.0 news production and management systems for three of its local broadcast properties.
Bitcentral's newly released 4.0 units have been installed at Fisher Communications-owned KBAK-TV in Bakersfield, CA, and KBCI-TV in Boise, ID. KATU-TV in Portland, OR, is upgrading to Précis Version 4.0 from its existing Précis installation.
The new software release allows the three Fisher stations to streamline their fieldcentric workflow and to minimize rendering when ingesting file-based acquisition formats, such as Panasonic's P2 MXF.
The stations will use Précis to manage the tapeless HD/SD news production workflow from acquisition to air, which includes media management, editing and archiving.
In the ever advancing world of media content delivery, MPEG over IP (MPEG/IP) has been gaining popularity for a number of reasons. MPEG/IP delivery offers lower costs, higher bandwidth, greater efficiency, and new application possibilities over the traditional methods, such as: Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) and RF networks. Along with the benefits, come a number of challenges. One of the biggest challenges is a mechanism to recover lost data in real-time. This paper will attempt to shed some light on the inner workings of the real-time data recovery mechanism: Pro-MPEG Code of Practice #3 Forward Error Correction (CoP#3 FEC). Read Now
