Australian News Channel expands and connects workflows with Quantel

Australian News Channel (ANC) has purchased a major upgrade for its Quantel Enterprise sQ fast-turnaround production system, adding the latest V5 software and Quantel's connected workflow technology, QTube. The upgrade expands ANC's current Quantel system, adding a host of new editing, workflow and management facilities enabling ANC to enhance and expand its services which include SKY NEWS National, SKY NEWS Business, SKY NEWS Weather, SKY NEWS New Zealand and A-PAC Australia's Public Affairs Channel.

ANC has purchased an extensive Quantel QTube system to allow remote video journalists across Australia and New Zealand to access and edit content stored in a central Sydney-based Enterprise sQ system using standard internet connectivity.

ANC Chief Executive, Angelos Frangopoulos, said, Our Quantel Enterprise sQ system has served us well for many years at the Australian News Channel, coping with everything we have thrown at it as our operation has grown in scale and success. It was therefore a natural choice to again look to the future with Quantel to continue giving us the shortest time to air, fantastic usability and great performance. We're also very excited as to the possibilities that QTube brings to the ANC network; with QTube our production facility will extend across all the countries we operate in.

Quantel Sales Director, Martin Mulligan, said, We are delighted that the Australian News Channel has chosen once again to move forward with Quantel. Quantel QTube is the perfect system for ANC, enabling its users to access and seamlessly combine content from anywhere throughout ANC's network.
