Pacific Television uses Mercury Intercom to shrink the world

17/11/2013

Issued January 2012

Trilogy Communications, the global provider of intercom systems and Master Reference Generators to the broadcast industry, today announced the successful implementation of a world-wide intercom communications system by Pacific Television Center (PAC TV).

PAC TV's business focusses on the transmission and production needs of clients across multiple industries and international borders. Offering services including fibre connectivity, satellite coordination, receive and records, multi-format tape play outs, live shots, satellite media tours, and voiceovers, PAC TV is heavily reliant on real-time international communications.

The Mercury system supplied by Trilogy now links PAC TV's own hubs in London, New York and Los Angeles to multiple customer networks in Australia and New Zealand with further expansion already planned. This provides a much improved feeling of working together as a team in spite of participants being thousands of miles apart. Coordination is now simple with control rooms connected via a single button push allowing workflow and speed of switching video signals around the globe to be significantly improved.

The new solution replaces the use of international phone calls which are both expensive and often the cause of delays due to the time taken to establish the calls in the first place. The system uses a range of Trilogy intercom panels including rack mounted and desktop varieties which are installed in the Master Control Rooms and are used to coordinate services such as Satellite Downlinks, Global Video Switching via Fibre and Video Tape Playback Cueing. Amongst the many advantages of Mercury was its ability to use the G.722 Audio Compression Codec which carries audio up to 7.5kHz and surpassed the customer's expectations for sound quality. Future developments of the system will include IFB (Interrupted Fold Back) returns between the Los Angeles, New York and London insert Studios.
