December 4, 2014 -- United Group, the Adria region’s largest cable with over 1.5 million viewers, has chosen Orad’s integrated solution for its CNN-affiliated N1 news channel. Orad’s solution includes video servers for playout, news graphics, and media asset management. N1 is using Orad’s solutions for its 24/7 news channel, which broadcasts out of its main studio in Belgrade and its studios in Zagreb and Sarajevo.
Orad’s complete solution covers the entire workflow from ingest to playout for both video and graphics. It offers a fast-turnaround digital workflow, which enhances production value and decreases time to air. In addition to relying on Orad’s server and graphics suite, N1 is able to integrate with third parties thanks to Orad’s media asset management solution.
“We are very pleased with our decision to use Orad’s broadcast solution. Not only does it provide the reliability, state-of-the-art technologies, and forward-looking approach we need, but Orad’s professional services team helped us integrate other technologies to Orad’s platforms, providing us with an efficient and comprehensive workflow,” says Rusmir Nefic, director of program and production at N1.
