Aviteng deploys a hybrid baseband/IP architecture for Turkey's ATV with AJA solutions

The deployment of the robust hybrid system includes a range of I/O cards Aja Corvid and Kona and convertibles compatible with Aja Opengear used in the Band Band Band Flows and SMPTE ST 2110-20 IP.

In order to guarantee in the future the Broadcast workflows in the Turkish ATV, the main group channel Turquoise, the integrator Aviteng It has been awarded the development of a new hybrid architecture that combines the existing base band infrastructure with an IP and 12G-SDI environment. The deployment of the improved system for ATV, the Badkuvaz's flagship channel and one of Turkey's most outstanding networks, coincided with the transfer to a new facility of the latest generation media center.

The deployment of the robust hybrid system includes a range of Aja Corvid and Kona I/O cards and Aja compatible converters OpenGear Used in Base Band Band Flows and SMPTE ST 2110-20 IP.

Buk devecel, Aviteng managing partner, highlights that “during the development of the new ATV broadcasting system, we provide AJA I/O products and conversion due to versatility, performance and perfect interoperability with software and hardware of other manufacturers. It has become a requirement for many of our customers to work with AJA products for their reliability. As the diffusion standards He also undertakes to update his solutions to be compatible with the most recent formats. ”

A selection of Aja Corvid and Kona devices, including 47 Corvid 44 12g BNC, 10 Corvid 22, 10 Kona IP and 23 Kona LHI cards, provide a versatile interconnection Among the production servers and the workstations with the production and automation equipment of broadcasting in the improved media facilities of the ATV for Base and IP Band Flows.

News, intake, playout and ATV automations are built on production workflow software Cinegy, with flexible Video and Audio I/O promoted by Corvid and Kona.

For live emission graphics, Corvid and Kona are also used as hardware I/O solutions together with real -time graphics software Ross XPression. CORVID 44 12G BNC has four bidirectional connections 12G-SDI BNC for the entry and output of a single high bandwidth content cable, including HFR, HDR and high rank video of up to 8K, further simplifying transport without latency of uncompressed signals. For future work flows, Kona IP offers flexible I/S SMPTE ST 2110 up to 4K/Ultrahd as ATV transitions to a greater adoption of IP pipes.

To expedite the acquisition for remote video and audio captured through teleconference tools, including equipment Microsoft and Zoom, OpenGear Aja cards are criticism of boosting HDMI to SDI to standardize formats and integrate remote signals into live production workflows.

Integrated to capture remote content during the closure of the pandemic, the ATV uses 15 scan converters from the region of interest And-Roi-HDMI and five converters OG-HA5-4K HDMI 2.0 a 3G-SDI to transfer up to 4K/Ultrahd of incoming HDMI to 3G-SDI. OG-RI-HDMI cards also provide Image climbing and appearance and conversion of frames to integrate without HDMI problems of computer sources in the ATV issuance workflow. All OpenGear AJA cards are housed in redemaging opening racks with easy Dashboard network for convenient configuration and supervision.

Finally, Kerim Kebabci, director of Broadcast technologies in the Turkuvaz Group, states that "for the set of characteristics, price and performance, AJA solutions offer maximum value, consistency and reliability for production workflows, all of them key demands when it is about maintaining network operations in critical diffusion environments."
