Sao Paulo, Brazil-based TV Bandeirantes has selected the Leitch NEXIO NewsNet server newsroom system from Harris and a range of Harris content management and distribution products spanning media ingest through storage, news production, post production and playout to provide a streamlined workflow throughout the content delivery chain. TV Bandeirantes reaches 94 percent of television households in Brazil via 77 broadcast channels. It will use the NEXIO NewsNet system to transmit a variety of programming, including local network news, 24-hour news and sports.
The Leitch NEXIO NewsNet system is composed of a NEXIO transmission server system, NEXIO NewsFlash networked editing systems and a NewsFlash Preditor low-resolution browse and edit solution, all connected to a shared storage system.
