The UTAH-400 at the Pappas Telecasting Omaha, NE, facility is integrated with an Omneon Spectrum video server under the control of an NVerzion automation system.
The Pappas Telecasting Omaha, NE, facility has installed a UTAH-400 32 x 32 SD and 16 x 16 HD routing switcher configured to support both SD and HD video. The UTAH-400 is integrated with an Omneon Spectrum video server under the control of an NVerzion automation system.
The facility currently provides four broadcast streams — two of the stations in SD and two in HD — from a single building: KAZO, affiliated with Azteca America; KPTM, a Fox affiliate; KXVO, a member of the new CW network; and MyNetworkTV, FOX's new second network, which is broadcast on one of KPTM's digital multicast channels.
Omaha is the third Pappas location to install the UTAH-400, with one more station expected to install the equipment this year. Dale Scherbring, VP and director of engineering for Pappas Telecasting, said that the upgrade provided a solid SDI core for on-air switching, which helps make way for future upgrades.
