Network Ten chooses Miranda for studio upgrades

Sydney — Magna Systems and Engineering announced that Network Ten has upgraded its new Sydney HD news studio with multiple Miranda HMP-1801 single card, solid-state media servers.

Network Ten Engineer Leo Blanda explained, “We needed a device that could store and recall multiple animating seamless loops to integrate into the rebuild of our HD news studio.”

The Miranda Densité HMP-1801 is a single card, solid-state media server, which can capture and playback HD and SD video sequences. The server is ideal for playback of clips that are used repeatedly, such as full screen promos and animated apology sequences.

It is also ideal for filling side panels, introduced by up/down conversion with animated graphics, to improve the on-air presentation and stereoscopic playback.

At Network Ten the Densité HMP-1801 is used for the playback of multiple animating loops that feed the plasma screen behind Sydney Ten’s news broadcasts and in studio-based multi-cam live to air broadcasts.
