As TV3 Lithuania is gearing up for 2018 Winter Olympics working on major system upgrade to facilitate transition to HD production and broadcasting, Hannu Pro, the leading Baltic system integrator, is implementing this upgrade project and will deliver a cutting edge solution TV3 Lithuania.

Hannu Pro continues assisting TV3 Lithuania with production system expansion for HD migration and will provide comprehensive EditShare XStream EFS storage system and EditShare Flow media asset management system upgrade adding Node 64TB, 10 Flow licences, 2 Ingest and 25 Ark Tape licences.

“While in search of solutions to cover the 2018 Winter Olympics, we found that the GV Korona K-Frame V-series offers high-end features and functionality with no restrictions, famous GV ergonomics and modular design, combined with outstanding build quality and a path beyond HD with 4K and IP interfacing,” said Dalius Kazlauskas, chief technology officer, TV3 Lithuania. “GV Korona has offered us a new, easy way of working thanks to its built-in touchscreen menu, M/E status and ability to perform signal conversions inside the switcher. We now have ability to produce shows with high-end features – including real 3D DVEs – which is unique for video switchers in this price range.”
Since unveiling the compact addition to its industry-leading switcher line last year, Grass Valley, a Belden Brand, has shipped more than 100 GV Korona production switcher units to a wide range of production facilities including houses of worship, outside broadcast trucks and stadiums. GV Korona is IP-enabled and 3G/4K UHD-ready compact switcher, which features a modular design for serviceability and scalability. Supporting quad-split and 2SI, it also supports up to three licensed MEs plus 2 additional and powerful VPEs, as well as multiple HD formats (including 4K UHD), offers an innovative touchscreen in the transition area and the largest I/O matrix for a small switcher frame (80x48), making it ideal for broadcast operations seeking a powerful, compact option at an affordable cost.
For its small size and lower price point, GV Korona requires no compromises on enterprise features. Whether for a small truck or studio, a flypack or even as a back-bench control surface in a larger truck, users can mix and match any Grass Valley switcher panel with any Grass Valley switcher frame for cost-effective repurposing, including the new K-Frame V-series. At only 3RU, the V-series frame is an ideal complement to the GV Korona switcher panel.
Among early adopters the most prominent already are the Fellowship Baptist Church, Portland Timbers, NEP Switzerland, Australian Broadcasting Corporation, Solotech and TV3 Lithuania.
