Rambler TV network goes to air with Geevs servers
UNITED KINGDOM -- The Private Television Broadcasting
Corporation created "Rambler TV Network",
its first television channel in Russia. It features
an easily recognisable format, unique in the Russian
market, and uses the latest interactive technology for
signal delivery. Created by an Internet company, "Rambler
TV Network" will be free for the viewers.
Oleg
Radzinsky, Chairman, Rambler TV Network, said: "We
use satellite, cable, fiber-optic and telephone lines
with the latest technologies. In future, we will be
offering the choice of programs in real time."
Conceived
and created using digital media, it is easily adapted
to modern methods of signal delivery. The multi-channel
Geevs video servers used for the project are used by
different departments for broadcast planning, clip capturing,
creating playlists and broadcasting of four channels.
The first stage of the project features two eight-channel
Geevs servers linked via gigabit Ethernet. The Geevs
servers' work schedule is 24x365. The Matrox Infonet
TV system is also integrated with the Geevs servers
for additional registration of channels. The second
stage will have all of the Geevs servers connected with
fibre channel and linked to several satellite channels
for automatic recording of news. This stage will include
Newsroom technology for operative preparation of news.
The
first stage of the project is ready for broadcasting.
Transmission via satellite is scheduled to start on
1 February 2003. Rambler and Oleg Radzinsky's company,
are the co-founders of the "Rambler TV Network".
The full amount of resources invested in the project
will be $46mn within the first three years.
