Mexico. The new free-to-air television network, which breaks with more than two decades without the creation of new operators in this sector in Mexico, has begun to automate the control of its broadcasts thanks to the implementation of the vsnmulticom redundant solution.
The channel began its free-to-air broadcast on October 17 and is already broadcasting in 60 cities of the country through 123 stations, covering a total audience of more than 70 million people.
The media conglomerate Grupo Imagen, belonging to the Grupo Empresarial Ángeles, has placed its trust in the vsN technology company to automate and manage the complete flow of broadcasts of its new television channel Imagen Televisión, which was officially released on October 17.
The project in question required the implementation of a complete and perfectly integrated continuity automation flow with all the third-party equipment available to the channel to offer Imagen Televisión a reliable broadcast system from its exit to the air. To this end, VSN launched together with Teletec, its trusted dealer in the region, two VSNMULTICOM systems that are responsible for guaranteeing an uninterrupted broadcast 24 hours a day, thanks to the installation of a complete continuity automation solution with parallel redundancy configuration.
With the aim of establishing an automatic end-to-end control flow, VSN developed, thanks to the VSNSPIDER framework, a complete integration of both VSNMULTICOM systems with the VSNEXPLORER MAM own continuity solution for file management, as well as with Harmonic's Spectrum video servers, Imagine's Icon Master mixer and Orad's graphics system.
The final result of this project allows Imagen Televisión to have a fully automatic continuity flow from the export of the files and video clips to their sending to the broadcast servers, allowing the system itself to call the video servers when a clip or content scheduled on the ladder is not ready to be broadcast.
The new channel, which ends 23 years without granting and creating new broadcast licenses in Mexico, has emerged as the third national network and for the moment, covers a coverage of more than 70 million people through 123 stations spread throughout the country.
