4 Kitchen Makes it Fresh with ToolsOnAir

02/04/2013

24 Kitchen Makes it Fresh with ToolsOnAir The Netherlands, April 2013... Everyone likes talking about food, and the popularity of food programming has grown astronomically in recent years. From celebrity chefs to just plain folks, the art of cooking is more en vogue now than ever before.

Developed by FOX International Channels Benelux, 24Kitchen presently broadcasts terrestrially in the Netherlands, Portugal, Bulgaria, and Turkey, with numerous other territories slated to come online in 2013. The station also makes some programming available online, along with a wealth of resources covering everything from organic farming and nutrition to preparing a feast for several hundred of your closest friends.

We started 24Kitchen to get people to think about healthy eating, using fresh products to prepare fresh meals, explains Digital Content Manager Barry Kroon. We wanted to inspire people and show them that its not much harder or more expensive to eat healthy than it is to open a can or stick something in the microwave.

With a good share of the stations content generated in-house, 24Kitchen relies on a simple, streamlined MacOS-based workflow using ToolsOnAirs just: Broadcast Suite to handle multi-camera ingest. The system utilizes a Blackmagic Designs DeckLink card to ingest four simultaneous HD feeds to a single Mac Pro. ToolsOnAirs just:in and LiveCut enables editors to do real-time editing within Final Cut, Premiere and other NLEs, without the need for proprietary black box hardware.

We decided fm the beginning to go tapeless, says Kroon. We only had about six weeks to design and build our editing facility, so it was great to be able to work with MacOS-based hardware and Blackmagic I/O cards - it made the setup easy.

Kroon says dependability was a major factor in choosing ToolsOnAir. Weve been using the ToolsOnAir system pretty much non-stop since August 2011, and weve produced more than 400 hours of material with no problems. Thats important to us - we record five days a week, twenty days a month, and everything needs to just work.

As Kroon explains, the system has actually outperformed their expectations. When we started using LiveCut and just:in we calculated that we might need a second Mac Pro with the same configuration, either to divide the ingest workload, or to have a standby machine in case of failure. But after a week of testing it was clear that only one Mac Pro would be sufficient, and our back up unit was used elsewhere.

Support has also been excellent, he adds. On a couple of occasions we were implementing something new, and theyve been great about helping us to configure graphics and other features. Going forward, were looking into implementing the social media interactivity that ToolsOnAir has been developing for just:live.

ToolsOnAir will showcase the newest versions of just:play and just:live at the NAB Show in Las Vegas, April 8-11, 2013. Visit them at booth SL 12810.
