We were also able to deliver the technology quickly and on budget – a key business driver for Fiji TV.” “Working with Gencom, we were able to build a solution for Fiji TV that meets each of their specific needs and is cost-effective, robust and highly reliable. “We recognize that every broadcaster in the world is different, and we aim to develop flexible solutions which will meet each customer’s real operational and commercial needs,” said Richard Hewitt, regional sales manager, Australia and New Zealand, Harris Broadcast. HView SX Pro - easily the industry’s most scalable, highest-density multiviewer - delivers the exceptional quality and flexibility of today’s most advanced multiviewers in a smaller, smarter design. The Harris Broadcast Platinum router broke industry barriers as the first to offer genuine dual-path routing, allowing video and audio to be contained in the same device without losing signal paths. This, alongside various 6800+™ modular processing systems, ensures reliable signal processing and monitoring across the entire Fiji TV facility. For this reason, we were confident that we could rely on Harris Broadcast technology and, with help from Gencom, the two companies were able to design a solution specific to our needs.”Īt the heart of the new facility is a Harris Broadcast Platinum™ router with integrated HView™ SX Pro multiviewers. “We already rely on the Harris Broadcast NEXIO AMP ® server platform and our experience so far has been extremely positive. “In talking to Gencom, it became clear that the Harris Broadcast integrated solution was the right option for us,” said Tarun Patel, CEO, Fiji TV.
