Brazil. Grass Valley delivered a series of IP solutions for the new Globo TV Exhibitor Center in São Paulo, Brazil, where a new facility was built with an all-IP infrastructure for the transmission of Globo's two main channels, covering the city and state of São Paulo. This is grass Valley's largest IP implementation in Brazil, simplifying operations and providing greater scalability.
Globo adopted a "Spine and Leaf" topology and relies on grass Valley's Orbit Control and Monitoring for the orchestration of the complete solution, including all gateways, the GV Masterpiece IP Master Control Switcher, the MV-820 GV IP Multiviewer and third-party IP devices, taking advantage of the complete interoperability of IP standards. The end-to-end IP solution, based on the ST2110 standard, also includes Cisco Switches and Tektronix Master Sync Generators. Grass Valley took over the implementation of the system and will offer the support that is needed.
Globo chose Grass Valley's Masterpiece IP Master Control Switcher because it is IP-based and because it fully integrated with the infrastructure designed for the project. The switcher offers powerful master control that can support multiple formats, channel branding, multi-channel video program distribution, and dynamic visual effects. The system also includes flexible audio capabilities and eliminates the need for external conversion. The small and compact Multiviewer MV-820-IP provides high-density I/O and is the only multiviewer to offer 48 IP inputs and 12 IP outputs in a 2 RU chassis.
The supplier selection process began early last year, and after several stages of evaluation, including proof-of-concept tasks on the premises and in the factory, Grass Valley became the supplier of choice. The deployment of the project on the premises was completed in record time and the system was inaugurated in June 2019.
"Throughout this project, I have been impressed by the commitment of the Grass Valley and Globo teams. Their efforts allowed to carry out the design, integration and delivery of the project in just eight months, a very difficult deadline considering that it is a deployment of new technology and that there were a series of integrations to install throughout the workflow, "said Jorge Barrozo, project manager of TV Globo.
Globo has also implemented Grass Valley's IQUCP25 user-configurable multi-channel video over IP transceiver, ipedge-SRV-D IP routing controller, and flexible, dedicated Luna control panel.
"Reinforcing our relationship with Globo, we are delighted that they have chosen us to help them transition to IP for their new facilities. This project is a great example of how Grass Valley has been working closely with clients in the LATAM region to offer solutions that help them build a successful media business," said Nahuel Villegas, Vice President, Caribbean and Latin America Region, Grass Valley.
