PR Newswire (US)
CINCINNATI, Aug. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Harris Corporation
(NYSE:HRS), an international communications and information
technology company, is delivering its first new CENTRIO(TM)
multiviewer to Global Ontario, the flagship station of Global
Television Network, a Division of CanWest MediaWorks Inc.
Introduced at the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB)
convention in April, the award-winning CENTRIO(TM) is a multi-image
processor featuring superior graphics, broadcast-quality routing
and integrated, precise test and measurement tools. "CENTRIO(TM) is
a landmark development in multiviewer design and value," said Tim
Thorsteinson, president of Harris Broadcast Communications. "It
also is a prime example of the ONE initiative Harris unveiled at
NAB2007, which signifies our ability to provide unparalleled
interoperability across our broad product line and powerful,
integrated workflow solutions to our customers. For CENTRIO(TM),
developers from across the Harris technology portfolio collaborated
to rethink and redesign the traditional multi-image processor, with
a key focus on superior flexibility. CENTRIO(TM) is able to quickly
and easily integrate into the Global Television network's existing
infrastructure, without the need for time-consuming and costly
redesign." Combining an advanced graphics engine and world-class
routing infrastructure in a single, expandable chassis, CENTRIO(TM)
enables unique new capabilities and introduces simplified system
designs that reduce the cost and complexity associated with
traditional, large-system monitoring implementations. This
innovative architecture and functionality make CENTRIO(TM) ideal
for broadcast, multi-video, audio monitoring, master control rooms,
broadcast trucks, events and staging applications - anywhere
dynamic access to a large number of inputs and multiple displays is
required. At its NAB2007 debut, the CENTRIO(TM) multiviewer was
honored with TV Technology magazine's STAR Award (Superior
Technology Award Recipient), which celebrates the preeminent
technological innovations available to the industry. The innovative
CENTRIO(TM) design provides numerous benefits for large monitoring
applications: * Advanced Inscriber(R) graphics technology - enables
customizable, state-of-the-art image layouts that allow users to
create a leading- edge monitoring and control tool. * Robust
Platinum(TM) routing infrastructure - supports systems of up to 512
inputs (high-definition, standard-definition, analog or graphic)
and drives up to 32 independent DVI displays or 64 independent
HD-SDI monitors from a single Platinum(TM) chassis. * Simultaneous
display across monitors of different resolutions - enables easy
control of multiple wall applications in multiple rooms, in
multiple customizable layouts. * Built-in audio/video test and
measure capabilities, user rules creation and on-screen control -
allow users to view more information and respond to the system more
quickly and effectively. About Global Television Global Television
