Kompas TV Upgrades Newsroom Operations with Grass Valleys GV STRATUS

Indonesian broadcaster leverages the powerful features of GV STRATUS for a reliable and faster news turnaround

Hillsboro, Ore., February 4, 2014 Kompas TV, an Indonesian broadcaster, has selected GV STRATUS nonlinear media production tools from Grass Valley for its newsroom operation upgrade. Kompas TV selected to upgrade because the scale of their news and sports production has increased from three hours per day to more than eight hours per day. With this increased production scale, Kompas TV opted for GV STRATUS as it met the broadcasters requirements for a more reliable system that provides a faster turnaround on news and includes shared storage and collaborative workflows. GV STRATUS will be used with K2 Summit 3G production clients, K2 SAN production storage and EDIUS Elite multiformat nonlinear editing software.

GV STRATUS allows us to work in a truly nonlinear fashion, explained Harya S. Pratama, Vice President of Technology, Kompas TV. We now have a new working area for ingest and archive purposes so that all users can have access at the same time soon after our ingest process begins. Plus, the open nature of GV STRATUS allows integration with our existing newsroom computer system, ENPS, which is a huge benefit to us.

GV STRATUS is a complete and versatile software-centric platform that provides Kompas TV staff with tools for ingest, editing, content aggregation, logging, transfer, and playout, and enables a create once, publish everywhere workflow. Kompas TV will also use GV STRATUS in tandem with EDIUS to provide powerful editing functionality across its newsroom operations, with seamless integration K2 SAN production storage.

A key benefit of GV STRATUS is its full compatibility with the MOS protocol, which allows it to interface with and take programming instructions from most newsroom computer systems including ENPS, iNEWS, and Octopus. GV STRATUS also provides users a choice of mainstream craft editors: Grass Valley EDIUS, Apple Final Cut Pro 7, Adobe Premiere, and Avid Media Composer.
