Eesti Telekom Chooses
PlayBox Technology
E

esti Telekom has purchased a
PlayBox Technology system for
the broadcast playout facility at its
headquarters in the Estonian capital
city, Tallinn.
Installed and fully commissioned, it
is being used to control the branding,
scheduling and delivery of four new
broadcast channels in three separate
countries.
"Eesti Telekom chose this solution
for several reasons," said PlayBox
Technology Executive Director Ivanka
Vassileva. "Firstly, we are able to
perform encoding and redundancyrouting within the system which
keeps the infrastructure size down
and allows easy future expansion to
accommodate extra channels.
"Secondly, management of files in

several languages is
easy because we can
multiplex
several
audio
channels
into one container
using
ISO-639
language
codes.
Each of the four
channels consists of
an AirBox playout
server
preloaded
with TitleBox and CaptureBox plus a
multilanguage subtitling server with a
direct DVB output. All are configured
with full primary and secondary
redundancy. They are located in the
company's central apparatus area
and controlled from a master playout
suite."

GoodJob Selects Baselight
Grading System
G

oodJob, a post house with multiple
editing suites in Osaka and Tokyo,
is expanding its facility with FilmLight's
grading and finishing system, Baselight,
and the post-production media server,
FLUX Store.
In February this year, GoodJob
held its first open house since its
establishment in 1993 to introduce
its equipment and solutions for 4K
production.
Hironori Kobayashi, Owner and Artist
at GoodJob, said: "There are people
who say there is no 4K in Osaka.
However, when I talked to many guests
at the open house, I found there must
be many projects originated in Osaka

but most of them are
completed in Tokyo.
"If we have a total
4K system here, we'll
get those clients to
stay here."
To help meet future
demands
for
4K
production, GoodJob
is investing in the
FilmLight solution at its Osaka facility.
It already has a workflow capable
of 4K/60p production and has been
simultaneously expanding its range
of equipment to include the Sony
CineAlta F65RS and PMW-F55 4K
cameras.

FilmLight's
BaselightPLUS system

With Baselight, the facility will
complete its end-to-end 4K production
pipeline.
GoodJob plans to open the new
grading suite in July 2015.
