Cox selects Harris to supply complete branding and automation
solution NEW YORK, Feb. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Harris
Corporation (NYSE:HRS), an international communications and
information technology company, has been selected as the primary HD
graphics delivery platform provider for a national, multistation
branding initiative by Atlanta-based Cox Television. Cox Television
owns or controls 15 television stations in 11 markets. For this
critical national project, Cox chose the Harris(R) IconStation(TM)
SD/HD on-air branding system and the Harris(R) ADC(TM) Playout
Automation application, which is included in the Harris(R)
H-Class(TM) application platform. Additionally, Business
Technology, Inc.'s (BTi) Attendant Solutions(TM) software products,
which are highly interoperable with both IconStation(TM) and the
ADC Playout Automation application, will collect data from multiple
sources and use that information to drive SD and HD informational
graphics to air on the IconStation(TM) system. An interface between
BTi's Branding and Promotions Attendant Solution and the ADC
Playout Automation application will bring together traffic,
graphics and automation for enhanced control of static or animated
graphic files. BTi's Branding and Promotions Attendant Solution
will have real-time access to the ADC(TM) schedule information for
any necessary last-minute changes to the ADC(TM) Playlist. "Harris
has eliminated the restrictions that can exist among automation and
master control/branding device interfaces," said Sterling Davis,
vice president of engineering at Cox. "The flexible and highly
configurable interface between the Harris branding and automation
system provides Cox with a high level of control over our channel
branding." IconStation(TM) is one of the first branding solutions
to combine logo insertion with multiple, real-time data crawls and
a squeezeback DVE for maximum channel branding impact.
IconStation(TM) simplifies the creation, display and maintenance of
a consistent "brand," with key features such as simultaneous
Program/Preview. The ADC Playout Automation application fully
automates the dubbing, management and playout of program material
from video disks and VTRs, and supports a full range of
GPI-controlled devices. ADC(TM) delivers affordable, flexible
solutions that are designed to meet current requirements and
provide a platform on which to grow. Cox Television is a subsidiary
of Cox Enterprises, Inc., one of the nation's leading media
companies and providers of automotive services. Cox Television

representation firms and a news bureau in Washington, D.C. About
