ASIA-PACIFIC BROADCASTING

Sathiyam Television, a newly launched Tamil-language news and current affairs station based in Chennai, India, has decided to build its playout infrastructure around Snell IQ Modular and Sirius 620 routing systems.

Shahul Hameed, technical head of Sathiyam Television, explained: “As a regional channel, we have built an operation that rivals that of national channels — and the Snell equipment has made it possible. Compared to the other solutions we evaluated, Snell came out far ahead with its advanced video signal-processing capabilities, reliability, high performance and support of 3G broadcasting. All of these capabilities will be extremely important when we prepare to launch our full HD channel [next year].”

 

Sathiyam Television has installed a Snell Sirius 620 128x128 router as its main station router, with 11 components from the IQ Modular family providing a range of signal-processing functions. Some of these include distribution amplification, composite video-to-SI conversion, analogue video de-embedding, audio multiplexing, and SDI monitoring/encoding.

 

Vanessa Ching, vice-president of channel marketing and communications for Asia-Pacific and Middle East at Snell, commented: “We’re pleased that [Sathiyam Television] has chosen Snell to play such a key role in building a resilient, failure-proof and future-proof infrastructure. Sathiyam’s selection of Snell technology is clear evidence of its serious commitment to provide viewers with a high-quality broadcast product, both now and into the future.”
