NDTV India chooses Harris One integrated broadcast solution

Wednesday, 25 November 2009

Harris Corporation has installed an interoperable Harris One broadcast solution at NDTV to enable the play-out of NDTV's 24-hour movie, music and entertainment channels.
The play-out facility rebuild includes a range of Harris integrated broadcast products, including ADC play-out automation, Panacea routers, 6800+ core processing and networking products, Predator II multi-viewers, the X75 all-in-one processor, the Inscriber Title One broadcast graphics system, the Icon Station channel branding system, the Icon Master master control switcher, the IconLogo on-air channel branding system and the NetVX video networking platform. The install also incorporates a master timing generator system with GPS time synchronization, and DTS Neural Loudness Control.
The ADC system fully automates the control and play-out of program material for six of NDTV's 10 channels across two locations Mumbai and Delhi. ADC is used to ingest the programs in Mumbai and to manage the play list in Delhi for transmission. Programming is aired in both English and Hindi, appealing not only to viewers in India but also to expatriates living abroad. The NetVX video networking system provides the international distribution feeds from NDTV into the U.K. and U.S.
"We chose the Harris ONE broadcast solution because it offers the reliability and ease of use we require for our 24-hour, seven-day-a-week play-out operation," said Dinesh Singh, head of broadcast operations and engineering at NDTV Group. "Furthermore, we were keen to work with an established broadcast vendor that understood our business model and would be able to support our future growth plans. Another significant driver was the Harris local service and support facility in Noida, which provides easy access to local engineers and fast service response times."
"The Harris ONE solution offers real workflow advantages and cost-efficiencies that are important to the continued success of broadcasters such as NDTV," said Stephen Wong, vice president, Asia-Pacific operations, Harris Broadcast Communications. "We also continue to receive positive feedback from our customers around the world as we take steps to ensure local service and support is easily accessible. This strategy is providing real benefit, particularly in India, one of the world's fasting growing economies."
