The company develops and manufactures on screen graphics solutions for the broadcast industry. In the United States the graphics (e.g. (OTC OTC See: Over-the-counter. OTC See over-the-counter market (OTC). BB: CYRO) today announced that The Mill, Oscar winning Soho-based facility, has purchased Pro-Bel infrastructure equipment for their headquarters in London and for their recently opened New York New York, state, United States New York, Middle Atlantic state of the United States. It is bordered by Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and the Atlantic Ocean (E), New Jersey and Pennsylvania (S), Lakes Erie and Ontario and the Canadian province of operation. Installing a combination of Eclipse, Freeway and Axis routers, together with an Aurora control system, ICON modular products, standard and customised control panels, the Pro-Bel system seamlessly integrates with legacy equipment to provide The Mill with a total, flexible and user-friendly solution. The system for London was required for the machine room, Media Transfer (for dubbing and encoding) and the Telecine The technique for converting movie film to TV/video. Pronounced "tel-uh-sin-ee," "tel-uh-sin-uh" or "tel-uh-scene." Because film runs at 24 frames per second (fps), and NTSC video runs at 30 fps, telecine inserts duplicate frames into the video to make up the department. Existing routers were to be utilised in the new set-up and control of this equipment was critical. The Pro-Bel Aurora proved to be the only system that could achieve this; it was also easy to configure for user allocation, as well as adding equipment, i.e. VTR's. Along with the Aurora, The Mill (London) has installed an Eclipse AES configured 96 x 96 in a 128 x 128 frame, Freeway 128 Timecode configured 64 x 64, Freeway 128 port RS422 Router equipped for 32 ports, 16 x 16 Axis HD, sixteen 48 button per source panels, twelve XY panels and two 24 x 12 control panels. The Soho facility also took delivery of 21 customised XY panels. "Working directly with the manufacturer is a huge advantage - we got the panels we needed from both an engineering and operator perspective," explained Steve Harman, Chief Engineer, The Mill. The Mill has also taken delivery of the first 16 x 16 HD Axis in the UK. Launched at NAB this year, the Mill is increasingly involved in HD work and needed a dedicated, but compact, resource for this demanding and growing part of the business. In New York, the requirement was for a simple and easy to use solution - but with the potential to upgrade as the facility expanded. A Freeway 32 router was supplied comprising 16x16 composite, 16 x 16 SDI (1) (Serial Digital Interface) A physical interface widely used for transmitting digital video in various formats. For electrical transmission, it uses a high grade of coaxial cable and a single BNC connector with Teflon insulation. , 16 x 16 analogue audio and 16 x 16 AES, together with integral control - all in one 3U frame. A number of ICON modules were also installed. "We were really impressed with the Freeway and it was ideal for our New York operation," said Harman. Adding, "It even has its own Aurora type controller built in." The Mill runs a VPN (Virtual Private Network) A private network that is configured within a public network (a carrier's network or the Internet) in order to take advantage of the economies of scale and management facilities of large networks. (Virtual Private Network) between the two sites and all engineering and administration is done in the UK. This includes remote configuration of the database and also enables work to be shared between the two sites - giving The Mill optimum flexibility for their clients. "We are now Pro-Bel converts," Harman confirmed, "We had no prior experience of Pro-Bel equipment, but with the technical support and engineering flexibility that was made available to us, we now have the best system for our needs."
