Prague's Nova TV Deploys Pebble Beach Neptune For New Playout Facility

Tue, 22nd, May 2007

Pebble Beach System's Neptune automation system has been selected for an installation at Prague-based Nova TV, part of Central European Media Enterprises (CME), a leading commercial television broadcaster in Central and Eastern Europe.

The Nova TV project, for which systems integration is being undertaken by TSL, will deliver a complete end-to-end playout facility at the broadcaster’s Prague headquarters, based around Neptune automation.


Pebble Beach will supply a three-channel playout system with main and backup device controllers and five Client operator positions. The system will employ Neptune’s N+n redundancy feature providing strong cost effective resilience to potential failures without the need for fully mirrored playout. Neptune will also control a 26 port SeaChange server, VizRT graphics devices and Harris Iconmaster master control switchers.

Neptune was selected for its easy to use software interface and its flexibility to integrate with other devices in the Nova TV system. The system was also able to meet one of Nova’s key requirements for a customisable solution that would fit its specific workflow needs and allow for future expansion.

“Having installed Neptune at [Nova TV’s sister company] Pro TV a year earlier, we had first-hand experience of the system’s reliability and the good price/performance ratio it offers. Added to high levels of after sales support from Pebble Beach and the recommendation from TSL, this convinced us to use Neptune once again for the Nova TV project,” said Ivo Ferkl, Technical Director, Nova TV.

“This project with Nova TV shows that Neptune offers a very flexible and robust automation solution that our customers have confidence in. It also demonstrates we can deliver a solution that matches the needs of our individual customers commented,” Tom Gittins, Director of Sales, Pebble Beach Systems. “We’re delighted to be working with Nova TV and look forward to a long and successful relationship with them.”
