Canal Sur will renew its content management platform, ENGs and backpacks in 2022

Throughout 2022, Channel On will continue to deepen its action plan to renew its technological equipment, updating solutions such as ENGs, backpacks or its content management platform.

La apuesta por la inversión en la renovación tecnológica fue el primer objetivo de la dirección de Canal Sur cuando se hizo cargo de la empresa en el segundo semestre de 2019. Desde ese momento, se estableció un plan de actuaciones con el objetivo llevar a cabo la sustitución de los equipos técnicos de radio y televisión, “obsoletos en su mayoría”, acompañado de las necesarias obras de adecuación de los espacios.

En los últimos dos años se ha llevado a cabo la renovación de la totalidad de los controles de informativos de televisión with an investment of more than 81,000 euros in each territorial center, to which must be added the almost 700,000 euros for the implementation of the technical installations for the control of high definition realization of the Malaga production center. Likewise, it has been renewed technical equipment of radio controls of all the centers in the capitals with an investment of more than 34,600 euros in each of them, and the investment in the centers of Algeciras and Jerez in 2022.

Added to the renewal of studies and implementation controls is the investment made in computer equipment and adaptation works that have involved an investment that varies between 170,000 and 50,000 euros, depending on the production centers. By province, the Malaga production center is the one that has received the greatest investment, more than 1,300,000 euros, due to the implementation of high definition production control. In Jaén, the investment has reached almost 285,000 euros; in Algeciras, more than 152,000 euros; in Jerez it has been higher than 140,000 euros; in Cádiz, close to 305,000 euros; in Almería and Huelva, almost 309,000 euros; in Córdoba, more than 236,000 euros, and, in Granada, the investment has been more than 233,000 euros.

In 2022, in addition, investments are planned in all territorial centers in ENG cameras y portable broadcast equipment (worth 10,000 euros in each center); and the renewal of computer equipment, worth 10,000 euros more in each delegation.

However, the most ambitious renovation that has involved a greater investment, close to the 14 million euros, is intended for the new digital content management platform, which will be available for all territorial centers, including Madrid.

The new platform, which goes into operation in June for all workers, replaces the one that existed since 2007; covers all the elements required for modern content management, from ingestion in all formats, editing, graphics, playout, quality control, documentation, archiving y features the latest MOJO technologies (mobile journalism) para 12 mobile editions and remote production.

This is the most important technological change and modernization project of the last 15 years of Canal Sur Radio and Television, and is added to the implementation of the new continuity control of the San Juan de Aznalfarache center, in Seville, another of the most requested renovations, in operation for months.
