Working for Imagina US, wTVision, and Unitecnic provided an end-to-end solution for two new DirecTV Latin America TV channels (OnDirecTV HD - Showcase and OnDirecTV SD - 999).
wTVision customized its modular product ChannelMaker to integrate with several other broadcast technologies with the main goal of developing a new architectural structure for two channels, one in SD and one in HD.
The structure of this project included the ChannelMaker’s integration with:
Grass Valley video server
Miranda Imagestore Master Control Mixer
Snell Cygnus Video Router
ForeTV Traffic System
This architecture includes redundancy of the ChannelMaker Playout for both SD and HD channels.
ChannelMaker easily manages complex channel architectures ranging from simple main/backup configurations to multi-channel, multi-station, multi-vendor, and multi-location solutions.
DirecTV is one of the world's leading providers of digital television entertainment services, reaching more than 32 million customers in the U.S. and Latin America.
