Pinnacle Systems has introduced new low-cost configurations of its Vortex Networked News solutions. Vortex solutions for local news are full-featured news production environments that combine the broad feature set found at large Vortex news operations -- such as CNN and Time Warner Cable -- with the Pinnacle Palladium Store 100 shared storage system. A local broadcaster can now be on air with Vortex for as little as US $140,000 suggested retail price.
Vortex on Palladium Store 100 is a complete solution that integrates ingest, storage, news editing, postproduction editing, management and playout
. Ingested material is stored centrally on the Palladium Store 100 making it immediately available to everyone on Vortex. The Vortex system integrates with a station's Deko graphics systems, Thunder servers, Liquid post production editing systems, and other production systems like iNews and ENPS and automation systems to further enhance the station's production workflow.
Palladium Store 100 is a self-contained storage system that leverages Pinnacle's mission-critical architecture and is optimized to meet the demands of real-time shared video on a network. It provides RAID-protected storage for over 100 hours of DV25, 1600 hours of MPEG-1 proxy or combinations of the two.
