Pebble implements a new two-channel broadcast system on France 3 Corse

The specialist in automation and media management, Pebble, implements a new two-channel broadcast system to France 3 Corsica, the subsidiary of France Télévisions on the island of Corsica.

This is a proven platform for France Télévisions, already installed in Martinique and Saint Pierre and Miquelon, with a contract that has been re-awarded in public tender. France 3 Corse had an outdated emission system at its Ajaccio headquarters and went to the market in search of a modern, compact and efficient solution. Finally he chose Pebble Automation with emission engine Pebble Integrated Channel.

The broadcaster transmits two channels, France 3 Corse and Via Stella. To provide complete resiliency, the Pebble installation replicates media database, automation and servers video on two physical devices. The playback and management software supports existing workflows while adding valuable new features.

Manuel Brouard, director of solution architecture at Pebble, says: "This is a great example of how local knowledge and market understanding help achieve an excellent solution. Because our French-speaking staff were able to really dig into the requirements, we were able to offer them a perfectly tailored solution that meets the needs of France 3 Corse, both now and in the future."

“That local knowledge and culture also allowed us to go from contract to issuance, including workflow development and training, in just two months, which is a remarkable achievement,” adds Brouard.
