SOGECABLE
IN SPAIN HIGHLIGHTS P2
SOLID-STATE SUPPORT
Sogecable, Spain's leading pay television group
and a major European media organisation; announced at
NAB
that
it is studying the adoption of P2 technology for a
future replacement of its ENG DVCPRO equipment.
DVCPRO
equipment
is widely used across Sogecable media organisations
including Canal+,CNN+, and Canal Satélite Digital.
LAS VEGAS, NV (April 18,
2004) - Mr. Remacha, Deputy Technical
Director for Sogecable said, "Sogecable considers
that, in the process of substitution of the tape as
the only recording
media for ENG, solid-state technology is the right
one to use. In this respect, Sogecable understands
that Panasonic's P2 technology, based on the use of
SD memory cards, means an extraordinary step ahead
in optimising the news acquisition workflow. At present,
Sogecable is studying the adoption of this technology
for a future renovation of its ENG DVCPRO equipment."
Welcoming
Sogecable’s support for solid-state
technology, Robert Pascher, Panasonic Broadcast Europe
said, "P2 is a fundamental technology shift that
is going to deliver significant savings to major broadcasters
and news organisations, such as Sogecable in terms
of operational efficiency, reduction in consumable
media and overall total cost of ownership."
