(ATLANTA) - Beverly Hills Television (BHTV), run by the City of Beverly Hills, has made the transition to a file-based workflow with two Apella LCS video servers, VT Scheduler and VT Media Exchange software from Video Technics. Previously, BHTV’s award-winning local programming had been produced and aired using a tape-based workflow and a twenty-year-old analog automation system which spanned across three separate physical locations.
At City Hall, BHTV ingests City Council meetings directly from four Panasonic AW-E750 SDI cameras to the Apella LCS, cuts out meeting recesses and sends the complete file over the City’s existing Ethernet LAN to master control to be added to the playlist. According to Programming Operations Specialist Michael Forys (pictured), “On the master control side, one 3RU Apella LCS replaced three racks of aging analog gear. The VT Scheduler software lets us script sat feed ingest during off-hours, and the built-in router control makes any ties to the old automation system unnecessary. more
