Pinnacle Systems provides networked broadcast solutions for Sinclair
Sep 8, 2003 12:00 PM
The Sinclair Broadcast Group has selected Pinnacle Systems to
provide the group's new networked infrastructure for both digital
television (DTV) program playout and centralized graphics production
and distribution.
Sinclair is installing seven FXDeko II character generators,
standardizing on FXDeko II as its broadcast graphics platform and
providing the foundation for Sinclair's centralized networked graphics
operations. The sale also includes five MediaStream 900si networked
storage servers that Sinclair will use as its solution for DTV playout
and eventual migration to HD.
Pinnacle FXDeko II character generators have been deployed at
Sinclair's central broadcast facility in Hunt Valley, Maryland to
deliver Sinclair's premier NewsCentral products to Sinclair stations
throughout the U.S.
Pinnacle's networked solution for graphics enables Sinclair to
produce its graphics once at this central location. These graphics are
then distributed to Sinclair stations throughout the U.S. where
additional FXDeko II systems have been deployed for playout. These
FXDeko II systems further provide individual stations with the ability
to create local graphics using the same templates produced by
Sinclair's headquarters. When played to air, the centrally created
templates ensure that locally produced segments mesh seamlessly with
the national broadcast for a consistent on-air appearance.
