Scripps taps AFA
Scripps Networks has chosen A.F. Associates to move and expand the transmission-control-room and monitoring system at Scripps Networks' Knoxville, Tenn.-based origination facility. The expansion is designed to handle the needs of the recently expanded Broadcast Operations Center and will include a new virtual-monitor wall to replace CRT monitors. The facility will be able to handle SDI and AES signals.
NMT takes two
Mobile-production-unit company National Mobile Television (NMT) now has exclusive access and management of twin 53-foot edit and transmission mobile trucks from Location Solutions by Keslow Television. The trucks are multi-standard and multi-format and can serve as complete broadcast facilities. NMT did not own any dedicated editing systems or transmission facilities, says President Jerry Gepner, so the deal rounds out the company's portfolio.
Vertigoxmedia, Miranda sign deal
VertigoXmedia will support Miranda Technologies' Oxtel Series Imagestore master-control and channel-branding systems under a recent agreement. The two companies will work to integrate VertigoXmedia's Product X technology, which allows for one-step graphics creation and layout, into the Oxtel systems.
