Project includes equipment of news studio, play-out studio (with Orad broadcast graphics solution) and journalist newsroom development, as well as delivery of video cameras for news production. TV3 news system in Lithuania, like those built in Latvia in Estonia, is based on Panasonic P2 tape-less technologies, providing effective and completely digital news production workflow: image acquisition, ingest, media and content management, editing and play-out with the support of 16:9 format.

- For news production supplied are: seven Panasonic AG-HPX371EJ and AG-HPX171 P2 tape-less technology video cameras completed with Cartoni tripods, SWIT batteries, Beyerdynamic microphones and Camrade bags
- News production room facilitates 18 journalist work places equipped with Appe iMac computers, including 3 work places equipped with Apple MacBook Pro notebooks as well as 3 Apple MacPro equipped editing workstations bundled with 9 Final Cut Pro licences, 2 Adobe CS licences; an EditShare content storage system and 32x32 router effectively serves the news system for speeded-up production workflow. Video and graphics playout is provided by ToolsOnAir Just:Live Mac Pro based solution supporting 1+1 redundancy
Hannu Pro service engineers deployed all cable infrastructures, installed and configured equipment and systems, as well as provided especially designed news studio and control room furniture.
