KAIL-TV Returns to NVerzion for Complete Acquisition/Transmission/Near-Line Storage Package

NVerzion, a leading provider of digital broadcasting and television station automation solutions, today announced that My Network TV television network affiliate KAIL television station, owned by Transamerica Broadcasting, Corp., again selected NVerzion to provide a complete Acquisition and Transmission Package (ATP), ensuring redundant nearline storage and complete automation to accommodate the My Network affiliate’s HD build-out, as well as the station’s additional analog and digital channels.

The final contract decision, based heavily on KAIL’s experience with NVerzion’s commitment to customer service excellence and product/solution satisfaction, was cited as the deciding factor. KAIL’s new automated station includes NVerzion’s NControl Package with dub station software, two event On-Air playlists, redundant database, NTime event scheduler, Pathfire interface, NPoint segmenter, traffic interface, status and monitoring utility/auto-failover module, a redundant EMC device control system and a complete standby backup MC workstation with backup automation applications. Beyond the automation components, the package NVerzion designed for KAIL included: Pathfire automation and Transcoding Gateway, Miranda Video and Audio conversion and processing gear, Large Omneon Spectrum SD/HD Video Server system, an Avitech Multi-Image Display system, as well as NVerzion’s TeraStore 7.31 TB Near-Line storage system paired with NVerzion’s XPANSION software and Nvero Core Module for Lo-Res Parallel proxies (traffic).

"Our experience with NVerzion, their products and their customer service has always been superior," said Tom Driggers, Director of Engineering for KAIL. "This contract was for more than a simple add-on; we were expanding and completely redesigning the entire facility with all new equipment. NVerzion’s ATP gives us the redundant nearline storage and complete automation we need to accommodate our requirements now while still providing us room to grow in the future. It was a natural choice for us to select NVerzion again."

"We designed the ATP to provide KAIL with total redundancy, including all software applications, database, and device controllers," said Reed Haslam, Director of Sales for NVerzion. "To accommodate the large file size requirements of their HD programming, the NVerzion TeraStore and XPANSION file management system was added to ensure complete storage management. Then of course, we sent a team to KAIL for final installation and commissioning."

The final installation also included a Utah Scientific Serial Digital/High-Definition Video and Audio routing system, featuring attached SD/HD SqueezeMax devices for program squeeze functionality, text crawls and internal logo generator.
