MAA TV transitions to HD with Ross Video’s Carbonite

INDIA: India’s MMA TV has selected a Ross Video Carbonite to assist it with making the move to HD. The station is reportedly amoung the Top 20 TV channels in India.

‘We already had a Vision 1ME switcher from Ross Video,’ explained Mr P Masthaniah, AVP Technical for MAA TV. ‘We chose the Carbonite C1 production switcher because, when we decided to upgrade to HD, we discovered that Ross could easily deliver the products and expertise we needed. Ross Video’s competitive pricing, product reliability and excellent customer service sealed the deal. The support we’ve received from Ross throughout this entire process has been stellar. It’s been like having a partner who’s expert in live production with us every step of the way.’

MAATV is also using MC1 panels from Ross Video to master control three of their channels: MAA Music, MAA Movies and MAA Gold. The MC1s are being used in conjunction with the manufacturer’s NK routers to do L-band and squeeze back in an automated environment.

‘We chose the MC1 master control system from Ross for a number of reasons,’ continued Mr Masthaniah. ‘These include the fact that it’s loaded with features that are practical and very useful, is extremely competitively priced, was built to meet the demands of 24/7 operation, comes with a five-year warranty, and provides complete program path protection by using input bypass relays that protect our channel output.’
