Pebble has revealed details of a collaboration with France Télévisions.
The automation, content management and integrated channel provider has implemented a fully redundant two channel integrated playout solution as part of a modernisation programme for France 3 Corse, the broadcaster’s Corsican station.
Aiming to replace France 3 Corse’s existing playout system which has reached end-of-life status, the company integrated its playout-in-a-box solution, combining Pebble Automation and the Pebble Integrated Channel playout engine in a single server. To ensure complete resilience for the station’s two channels, France 3 Corse and Via Stella, Pebble replicated the media database, automation and video servers across two physical devices. Existing workflows were supported with new functionality also added.
Pebble also offered local, French-speaking design and support teams to assist with the deployment.
Manuel Brouard, solutions architect manager at Pebble, commented, “This is a great example of the way that local knowledge and market understanding helps reach a great solution. With French-speaking staff able to really dig deep into the requirements, we could give them a precisely tailored solution that delivers for France 3 Corse, now and in the future. That local knowledge and culture also meant that we could go from contract to on air, including workflow development and training, in just two months, a remarkable achievement.”
