India’s TV NOW selects Grass Valley Solutions to launch first HD news channel

TV NOW, a brand new 24-hour Malayalam satellite television channel for news and other informational programming, plans to launch with a fully-integrated high-definition news production solution from Grass Valley. TV NOW's new infrastructure will include three GV Director nonlinear live production systems, the powerful GV STRATUS nonlinear media production tools, nine LDX Flex HD studio cameras, a Trinix NXT digital video routing switcher, a K2 Summit 3G transmission server, EDIUS nonlinear editing software, and HD K2 SAN storage.
