Finland's national public service broadcasting company, Yle, has upgraded a number of its live production systems with technology from EVS, the leader in live video technology for broadcast and new media productions. Yle operates four national television channels as well as six radio channels and is renowned in Finland as a reliable source of news and current affairs throughout the country.

Finland’s premier broadcaster Finnish Broadcasting Company (YLE) has devised a clever solution to the problem of escalating travel and accommodation costs for the 2010 Winter Games. Using Lawo’s integrated technologies, YLE has devised an original production network for the collection and distribution of reportage for the Finish audience that requires fewer personnel on site in Vancouver, yet does not compromise either quality or creativity.

Yomiuri TV, a major broadcaster in the Kansai region of Japan, has selected Grass Valley® to replace its entire tape-based linear editing workflow, including content management and archive systems, and send to playout, with a new file-based solution.

Yospace, the content distribution innovator, is using IBC to focus on its unique system to tailor individual content without disturbing the stream. Its technology – which has been shortlisted for an IBC 2012 Innovation Award – replaces content and advertising in real time at the headend, meaning that it is delivered as a single stream without buffering, freezes or lost video. The power of the system is that every single stream can be personalised for a specific viewer.

We don’t use our tablet for entertainment (or games) often because ours is for business … really!

Imagine you are an audio engineer at a music festival and – typically – several acts turn up at the last minute. As you’ve been smart, you’ve taken care to set aside spare frequencies just in case, but it’s just one of those days: the festival manager turns up with yet another unexpected special guest half an hour before the show starts and there are no frequencies left! Usually, this would mean running the entire frequency planning program again, but you’ve downloaded the new version of Sennheiser’s Wireless Systems Manager so all your hard work is safe. Version 4.1 has a brilliant function that protects any selected frequency settings before the software calculates a new plan.
