Turkey’s TRT taps Orad PlayMaker super-slo-mo servers for Olympics coverage

Turkish national broadcaster TRT relied on Orad’s PlayMaker super slow motion replay servers with Orbit real time storage extensively for their Olympic and major football productions. PlayMaker and Orbit provided TRT the tapeless workflow necessary for Olympic and sports environments.

For their Olympic coverage, TRT relied extensively on PlayMaker’s unique flexible 8 channel configuration, to ingest multiple satellite feeds for fast highlight editing, as well as playout craft editing of files, clips, editorials, new stories, headline sports news, and more. Clipping and logging of material for NLE environments were done in DVC Pro HD.  TRT used PlayMaker’s PlayNet feature to browse through the remote server clip list and select one to preview, copy, or playback instantly. Orbit provided TRT with an additional 50 terabyte of real time shared storage.
