Miranda Technologies announced that Global TV is using 12 Imagestore 2 master control switching and channel branding processors with four Presmaster 2 multi-channel control panels for programming distributed throughout British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. This installation at Global TV's Calgary facility was part of an overall upgrade that consolidated playout operations for the network's Victoria, Vancouver, Edmonton, Red Deer, Calgary, Lethbridge, Saskatoon, Regina, and Winnipeg broadcasts.
Global TV brought operations for the provinces of Saskatchewan and Manitoba into the network's Calgary facility in June 2004, with B.C
. planned for mid-November. The Presmaster 2 switcher panel in operation at the facility is a fully featured, master control switching and channel branding panel capable of controlling up to two Imagestore 2 systems per transmission channel. Each Imagestore system provides the full breadth of mixing and on-air graphics capabilities required for dynamic and engaging presentation, with features including video and multi-group audio mixing, clip playout, dual 3D-DVEs, animation/clock insertion, automated character generation, and EAS support.
In addition to Miranda's Imagestore and Presmaster systems, Global TV is working with Miranda's Easykey automated mixer/keyer and the Playstore compact SDI stillstore.
