Iroquois, ON, Canada – August 21, 2008 – West District TV Ltd in Russia invested in Ross technology with the purchase of Synergy 1 and Synergy 3 Digital Production Switchers and a SoftMetal Video Server.
West District TV made the decision to replace their existing analog equipment with digital to offer viewers a higher quality of live broadcasts, studio programming, and sporting events. The equipment, on air since June, is being used to broadcast two TV Channels – West District TV and Zelenograd TV.
“Ross’ technology was chosen for our channels because of the level of product quality at an affordable price point,” said Alexey Shutov, General Director of West District TV Ltd. “The combination of switchers and server has met all of our needs and resolved any issues thrown in its direction. Our studios now have the ability to provide viewers with a more stable broadcast at a higher technical level.”
“We are pleased to have worked with West District TV,” said Alan Webb, Regional Sales Manager, Eastern Europe. “They needed affordable, reliable equipment, and Ross was able to offer the solution. We look forward to working with them in the future.”
