France 3 Orders CENTRIO(TM) Prior to Its European Debut at IBC2007
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands, Sept. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Harris
Corporation (NYSE:HRS), an international communications and
information technology company, announced that its award-winning
CENTRIO(TM) multiviewer is gaining wide acceptance across the
industry -- as demonstrated by recent orders received from
customers worldwide. Making its European debut at the International
Broadcasting Convention (IBC) in Amsterdam, CENTRIO(TM) has gained
early market recognition as a cost-effective solution for
streamlining complex, large-system multi-display monitoring
applications. CENTRIO(TM) is a breakthrough multi-image processor
featuring superior graphics, broadcast-quality routing and
integrated test and measurement tools. Since its introduction at
the 2007 National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) convention,
CENTRIO(TM) has become the solution of choice for customers around
the world, including Shenzhen TV in southern China; TV Anhanguera
in Brazil; Global Ontario in Canada; and French public television
network France 3 Ajaccio, which is the first European customer to
order the new multiviewer. "We have never seen anything like the
CENTRIO multiviewer on the market before, and we feel it is an
exciting new concept that will be very important to the industry
going forward," said Jean Luc Hachon, project manager at France 3.
"The CENTRIO(TM) graphics engine's unprecedented toolkit includes
scrolling PiPs and text, as well as integrated test and measurement
capabilities. We plan to take full advantage of these capabilities
to create more vivid and informative images, which will
significantly improve our ability to monitor the quality of our
system." Combining an advanced graphics engine and world-class
routing infrastructure in a 5, 9, 15 or 28RU chassis, CENTRIO(TM)
enables unique new capabilities and simplified system designs that
can 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. In any environment, the CENTRIO(TM) multiviewer's
graphics engine enables customizable, state-of-the-art image
layouts that allow users to create a leading-edge monitoring and
control tool. For large, complex monitoring applications, its
router-based architecture simplifies system design by supporting up
to 512 inputs (high-definition, standard-definition, or analog) and
driving up to 64 independent monitors from a single Platinum(TM)
router chassis. In multi-room environments, its superior display
capabilities enable easy, simultaneous control of multiple wall
applications with different resolutions and multiple layouts. For
mission-critical applications, its 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. The CENTRIO multiviewer has been honored
with TV Technology magazine's STAR Award (Superior Technology Award
Recipient), which celebrates the pre- eminent technological
innovations available to the industry, and the Award for
Outstanding Product at the recent BIRTV exhibition in Beijing. "We
are very pleased with the industry acceptance CENTRIO(TM) has
received even before its official debut in the international
market," said Tim Thorsteinson, president of Harris Broadcast
Communications. "It's also rewarding to receive such a positive
response to our ONE initiative, which represents our commitment to
provide unparalleled interoperability across our product line and
powerful, integrated workflow solutions to our customers.
CENTRIO(TM) is a prime example of this commitment." The CENTRIO(TM)
product is part of the core processing offerings in the Harris
Broadcast Communications ONE initiative to deliver interoperable
workflow solutions that span the entire broadcast delivery chain.
