BCE Selects Front Porch Digital for RTL Televizija's Digital Video Archive Implementation
Fifth DIVArchive Win Within the RTL Group
BOULDER, Colo., May 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Incentra Solutions, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: ICEN) today announced that its Front Porch Digital (FPD) Broadcast & Media Division was selected by Broadcasting Center Europe (BCE), an RTL Group company, for a new digital video archive implementation for RTL Televizija, a Croatian television channel that launched on-air operations in 2004. The new channel is using a DIVArchive based digital video archive for news, production and playout.
RTL Televizija is part of the Luxembourg-based RTL Group, Europe's number one in TV, radio, and content with stakes in 26 TV and 24 radio channels in nine countries. Launched on April 30, 2004, RTL Televizija's program grid includes news, tabloid magazines, a daily talk and game show, series, and movies.
Located in Luxembourg, BCE is a major European player providing technical services in the fields of TV, Radio, Telecommunications and IT. BCE was founded in January 2000 as a result of the merger of different technical entities of RTL Group. With a highly qualified staff of 200 broadcast professionals, BCE serves about 400 clients in various sectors, such as TV channels, radio stations, film distributors, producers, advertising companies, telecommunication operators, and public services.
The all-digital RTL Televizija facility, located in Zagreb, represents today the most advanced broadcast technology in Croatia. BCE, acting as the system integrator, has long time experience in tapeless environments and has a DIVArchive system in operation in Luxembourg. With DIVArchive Export/Import capabilities, the corresponding tapes can be exported out of the archive in Luxembourg and imported directly into the new archive in Zagreb, thus avoiding expensive video-tape copying and lengthy re-ingest operations.
"Our commitment was to implement an all digital solution at the RTL Televizija facility, and the DIVArchive solution offered unique flexibility and functions such us Export/Import and scalability that will allow us to expand operations easily and in the most flexible and open way," said Gusty Feinen, manager of special projects for BCE. "The DIVArchive system has been operating in our Luxembourg facility since 2000. We've been very pleased with how stable the system has proved to be and our engineering and system administration teams have great familiarity and confidence in the system. The excellent and direct contacts to the FPD support and development teams are for BCE of paramount importance during such implementations and other new projects in the future. We look forward to continuing to work closely with Front Porch and to recommending its DIVArchive solutions to our broadcast customers."
"We are very pleased to have another affiliated company of the RTL Group in our list of references," said Rino Petricola, Managing Director and Vice President, Front Porch Digital International. "Our footprint in the RTL Group now reaches five installations spread over five countries. This clearly establishes Front Porch Digital as a leading provider of archive solutions within the RTL Group. Repeat business from existing customers is an important revenue stream for Front Porch and we look forward to providing more value to RTL in the future."
