After a lengthy process of careful deliberation, the judges of the 2009 IBC Innovation Awards have decided on their shortlist for the 2009 IBC Innovation Awards.
In these difficult times, the judges – a panel of leading editors and journalists from around the world – were impressed with the remarkable range of nominations. They reflect the creativity of our industry as well as the drive to deliver better content more cost-effectively.
Expert TV is one of the finalists for the 2009 IBC Innovation Awards. It’s a new commercial channel in Russia, which started broadcasting at the end of 2008. Because it was a greenfield operation its planners could create contemporary workflows without worrying about legacy systems and practices.
Working with software from Media-Alliance and system integrator I.S.P.A., Expert TV created a fully tapeless news production system in high definition. By using JVC disk-based HDV camcorders, there is literally not a single tape anywhere.
The system allows even HDV to be edited on Edius as it arrives, and graphics and 3D effects are built in. Content can be automatically repurposed for other platforms such as the web, ensuring that Expert TV delivers authoritative news to its audience quickly, wherever they are.
The IBC Awards Ceremony will take place on Sunday, 13 September in Amsterdam.
