PAN SHOT
IMAGEN TELEVISION BEGINS BROADCASTING AS THE THIRD NATIONAL CHANNEL OF MEXICO The new and open television network has broken more than two decades without creating new operators in this sector in Mexico. It has begun to automate their emissions through the implementation of the VSNMULTICOM redundant solution. The channel began broadcasting on the 17th of October and is already broadcasting in 60 cities through 123 stations, covering a total audience of over 70 million people. The new cannel ha emerged as the third national televisión in Mexico. The cluster Grupo Imagen, which belongs to Grupo Empresarial Angeles, has placed its trust in VSN’s technology to automate and manage the entire workflow of emissions from its new TMBi - 22
television channel, Imagen Television.
Imagen Television broadcasts uninterruptedly 24 hours a day This project required the implementation of a complete Master Control Room automation workflow perfectly integrated with all third-party equipment available to provide Imagen Television with a reliable emission to be aired. To this end, VSN along with Teletec, successfully launched two VSNMULTICOM systems that are responsible for ensuring an uninterrupted broadcast 24 hours a day, thanks to the installation of a complete automation solution with redundancy configuration in parallel.
In order to establish an endto-end automation workflow, VSN developed, thanks to the VSNSPIDER framework, a complete integration of both VSNMULTICOM and VSNEXPLORER MAM (which also works now for MCR environments) to manage files along with Harmonic Spectrum Video Servers, Icon Master mixer from Imagine Communications and Orad graphics systems from Avid. The end result of this project allows Imagen Television to have a fully MCR automation workflow to export files and video clips to broadcast servers, allowing the system itself to call videoservers when a clip or scheduled program in the rundown is not ready to be aired.
