Leading music TV channel orders second VectorBox for playout automation of the interactive STARZ music channel
Barcelona, Spain – October 27, 2009 - Vector3™, a pioneer in graphics and playout solutions, announced that UK based Mushroom TV has purchased another VectorBox solution to manage playout automation of their highly popular STARZ Channel. For the last six years, Mushroom TV has relied on Vector playout automation technology for multi-channel playout management of their various music channels including STARZ. "We have been successfully using the VectorBox playout automation technology for over 7 years; running multiple music TV channels on the Sky platform. With the excellent track record in reliability and capabilities, we went back to VectorBox when it came to upgrade the operation," said Adam Levoi, Chief Engineer, Mushroom TV. "For the last 7 years we have experienced nothing less than excellent reliability, performance, and support. We did a test run of other playout systems, but in the end Vector 3 outperformed in every category."
Starz is an interactive music channel in which its viewers text their favorite video requests. Mimicking the function of a jukebox, the playlist is dynamically generated based on viewer input. The VectorBox system manages the constant changing data instructions with ease; integrating graphics, titles and content on the fly for perfectly timed playout over the Sky Digital Network. The tapeless workflow provides 7/24 playout continuity with unparallel reliability. "There has been a significant increase in Vector 3 sales for the UK market including repeat business like Mushroom TV. With the increased activity, we opened an office in downtown London, further enhancing our installation and support services," comments Roman Ceano, President and Founder, Vector 3.
