Global TV, one of Indonesia’s biggest private national TV stations whose 24/7 broadcasts can be picked up by over 110 million viewers in 142 cities each day including Greater Jakarta, Medan, Bandung, Semarang, Surabaya, and Yogyakarta, recently purchased and installed a new Artec XBL-Broadcast Logger video logging system from Magna Systems and Engineering.
Magna Systems and Engineering Indonesia Sales Manager Awan Setiawan explained, “Global TV made its debut broadcast in October 2001 and has grown quickly, establishing itself as an innovative broadcaster with loyal youth audience. In addition to its youth and entertainment programming Global TV also broadcasts live news, sports and movies so it is a very busy station. As a result they required a reliable broadcast video logger and intuitive clip maker that would help them better and more efficiently respond to their advertisers’ requirements.”
Magna Systems suggested an XBL-Broadcast Logger that Global TV could use for compliance recording, monitoring, streaming media applications and as an online video recorder and the XBL Player for generating video clips that could be easily edited by jog shuttle and converted to MPEG-2.
Awan Setiawan continued, “The final system design included a 4-channel XBL-Broadcast Logger video logging system with run log import function, AC Nielsen Data import function and the XBL Player clip maker. The XBL-Broadcast Logger also enables Global TV to utilise the feature rich Microsoft Silverlight for easy GUI and user management and as an added bonus, gives Global TV’s R&D department the opportunity to analyse not only their own live ratings information but that of their competitors too. Global TV were particularly impressed with the reliability and functionality of the system.”
