Geevs’ Tapeless Production Selected
After a serious evaluation of the various options for their move to Tapeless production, RTV Slovenia has chosen a new system based on Geevs Video Servers and Lightworks Editors to provide the workflow they need for their headquarters in Ljubljana. The mixture of SD and HD production, with fast turnaround, meant that quick editing of material in place on the central storage was an essential part of the solution. The system configuration was designed and delivered by Interlab, a Lightworks and Gee Broadcast partner for Central Europe. The system selected by RTV Slovenia uses a Lightworks VIT HD/SD Multi-channel Ingest station, which is based on the Geevs Server, and a mixture of Lightworks Alacrity and Softworks editors. The Lightworks VIT provides ingest facilities without tying up edit suites, thereby improving the overall productivity. The systems are connected together using a central SAN store for true shared access to all material. For offline editing of High Quality HD productions, proxy SD clips are created by Geevs Proxy software from the Master HD material. Edits created offline in Softworks, using the proxy clips, can then be transferred to Lightworks Alacrity for conforming without having to re-ingest. The entire system was delivered and installed in less than 8 weeks in order to provide facilities for productions as required by RTV Slovenja.
