for Lietuvos Rytas

To leverage its news production, Lietuvos Rytas TV, a major Lithuanion TV business, opted for complete Grass Valley, a Belden Brand, based newsroom upgrade solution provided by Baltic system integrator Hannu Pro. Now with their new GV STRATUS Video Production & Content Management System, Lietuvos Rytas TV will have the efficiency, reliability and scalability it needs for a simple and integrated workflow with the flexibility to grow as business needs require.
Being a long-time Grass Valley customer, Lietuvos Rytas TV upgraded from a GV Aurora SD News system to the GV STRATUS HD system for its TV channel, which provides news, current affairs and analysis. The speed of the news production and the ability to upload content quickly (via Telestream Vantage) to the web portal is especially important for Lietuvos Rytas TV, and that is why it selected GV STRATUS. This upgrade also allows the company to smoothly migrate existing Aurora content and metadata into GV STRATUS.
The upgrade includes a whole array of GV STRATUS client licenses running on the STRATUS server subsystem, providing functionality and services, K2 Media Servers and EDIUS High Res and Proxy editing facilities for a full post-production broadcast solution. This will give Lietuvos Rytas TV the opportunity to engage viewers faster than ever before, with compelling reporting and fully edited, ready-to-air packages.
Audrius Berdikšlis, CTO of Lietuvos Rytas TV stated, "As a long-term user of the GV Aurora news production system, we can definitely say that the Grass Valley news system solution is effective, comfortable and suitable for news workflows in television. Over the years, we understand the urgency of flexibility to grow as our business needs require and to be effective for the ready-to-air news production for live broadcasting and the content delivery for the news portal lrytas.tv. We chose the GV STRATUS Video Production & Content Management System for effective, fast news production and smooth integration with our existing distribution systems—live broadcast TV channel and web portal, thanks to the excellent STRATUS metadata integration with our current CMS."
Kalvis Baumanis, CEO of Hannu Pro said, "Our system integrator's experience and proven success allows us to serve as a trusted bridge between vendors and clients, ensuring their smooth implementation and operation. We look forward to our continued business relationship with Grass Valley and thank Lietuvos Rytas TV for their trust in Grass Valley and Hannu Pro to deliver comprehensive, highly functional, and cost-effective solutions."
With the tight integration between GV STRATUS and EDIUS, and a unique and highly optimized hybrid editing workflow, journalists at Lietuvos Rytas TV can mix and move low-resolution and high-resolution assets, including so-called "wild files" from citizen journalists across multiple sites, and perform full editing in the field with the EDIUS Workgroup, included as standard in all GV STRATUS Newsroom configurations. Because proxy files are used extensively and intelligently, there is no need for complex SAN configurations.
