Panasonic is THE name when it comes to DV cameras in broadcast. This has a good sound to it. Looking for more details......don't see switches mentioned? biz.yahoo.com Prisa Selected to Provide Fibre Channel Networking for DVCPRO News Automation System SAN DIEGO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 1, 1999--Prisa Networks, Inc. announced today (1/26) that Panasonic Broadcast & Digital Systems Company (PBDSC) has selected Prisa's gigabit-per second Fibre Channel network solution for its DVCPRO News Automation (DNA(TM)) digital video server system. Prisa's NetFX Fibre Channel host adapters, hubs and high-speed networking software will be used within DNA systems, consisting of high-speed newsBYTE(TM) nonlinear editing systems networked with Silicon Graphics® (SGI) Origin200(TM) GIGAchannel servers. Prisa-supplied hardware and software enable users to achieve the fastest transfer times of any current Fibre Channel solution, offer the ability to improve workflow while file transfers occur in the background, and provide access to any media file on the network as though it were stored locally. DNA is a highly automated end-to-end central server system based on Panasonic's DVCPRO recording and file format. A turnkey system, it delivers high-quality video and audio, fast transfer and dubbing capabilities, and a powerful video file server for highly-automated playback control. With a speedy 4X SDTI transfer rate, the system is easy to use, especially for editors who learned linear-style editing. Editors use the newsBYTE editor, then ''drag and drop'' the media file with completed stories into the server, saving significant time in the editing process. Tore Nordhal, PBDSC Vice President, Product Development, said, ''Panasonic is pleased to include the Prisa Fibre Channel networks solution as part of our DNA solution. We believe our total DVCPRO acquisition, news production and delivery system will be well served by our cooperation with Prisa.'' Noted Marc Friedmann, President of Prisa Networks, ''We are pleased to be working with Panasonic as it launches this advanced line of news delivery systems. Building on our recently announced strategic relationship with Silicon Graphics, the application of our Fibre Channel networking solution for broadcast systems marks a new and significant step for our company.''
