APPLICATION NOTE ORF produces a lot of in-house content, with seven large production studios in Vienna as well as its ten regional broadcast studio facilities. It has been a continuing project to streamline production costs through the use of new technologies, which includes moving as quickly as possible to tapeless production and file-based workflows. REALIZING TAPELESS PRODUCTION The launch of the K2 Summit--the new production client from Grass Valley--came just at the right time for ORF's planned upgrade. The first studios in Vienna have already been equipped for complete tapeless production with four K2 Summit servers. It produces daily news and current affairs magazine programs, and is also used for game shows and other productions. "With Grass Valley's AppCenterPro and standard interface protocols like BVW and VDCP we are able , to automate much of our recordings and playouts. [. . . ]
