Imagine to supply ABC with large-scale router technology
Published: ASIA
AUSTRALIA: Media software and video infrastructure specialist Imagine Communications has reportedly been awarded a major contract to replace all video routers in use by the Australian Broadcast Corporation (ABC). The massive project will see the broadcaster’s old routers replaced with Imagine’s Platinum large-scale router solutions and its range of facility signal distribution tools, which include fibre input switching, audio management and integrated viewers. The contract also reportedly includes ‘hundreds’ of Magellan control panels to facilitate access to the new platform.
‘We are delighted that ABC has selected Imagine Communications for this significant project,’ stated Joe Khodeir, senior vice president for Asia at Imagine Communications. ‘Routing on a national scale can be a complex technical challenge, and this will be one of the largest router projects of its kind undertaken in the southern hemisphere. The extensive scalability, powerful integrated capabilities and forward-looking design of Platinum routing solutions make them the ideal choice for broadcasters taking a long-term view of their operations.’
