Seven Ross Vision multidefinition production switchers will be at the center of the action at the upcoming Winter Olympics in Vancouver, British Columbia.
Ross Video Vision Canada’s Olympic Broadcast Media Consortium will use the switchers and several Ross SoftMetal video servers in its Olympic high-definition production control rooms.
In 2009 Ross Video entered a five year agreement with CTVglobemedia toprovide high definition production control room technologies for all CTVproperties. Under this agreement, CTV has exercised the right to purchaseadditional systems for the Olympics.
“We are thrilled that CTV and Canada's Olympic Broadcast Media Consortium will use Vision and SoftMetal at the Vancouver Olympics,” said Ross CEO David Ross. “It’s an honor to have our products participate in this world wide event. I can’t wait to sit back on thecouch at home and watch the coverage."
Canada’s Olympic Broadcast Media Consortium is the union of media conglomerates CTV Inc. and Rogers Media Inc., which together will provide coverage in English, French and other languages on multiple platforms for the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games and the London 2012 Olympic Summer Games.
