TEN Sports Playout Centre
H

arris Broadcast has completed
the build out of a major
broadcast production facility
for TEN Sports, a leading sports
channel in Asia.
The new production playout
centre and studio went on air in
mid-September 2013.
"We were looking for a major
upgrade of the TEN Sports facilities
which included migration to full HD
production and playout, advanced
ﬁle-based media workﬂows and
an interface to massive archival
and retrieval systems," said
Amitabh Kumar, Chief Technology
Ofﬁcer, Zee Group.
"The assignment was very
challenging as it involved the
migration of hundreds of thousands

of hours of content from legacy
systems which had to be interfaced
to diverse broadcast equipment.
"We have a long standing
relationship with Harris Broadcast,
and had full conﬁdence in their
technology and integration
capabilities, as well as the high level
of service we continue to receive
from the company."
The installation centres on
Harris Broadcast's playout
automation system, together

with multiple servers, its media
asset management and online
storage systems.
The technical infrastructure
also includes Harris Broadcast
routers and multiviewers, as
well as signal processing and
distribution hardware.
TEN Sports is part of the Zee
TV Group, which also relies on
Harris Broadcast systems for its
news channels.
The broadcaster has long-term
rights to major sports events
including ATP tennis, European
and American PGA golf, and UEFA
Champions League football.
It has presented all its coverage
in HD since 2011.
