Tv-studios run by mac?

[Devin Crane]

I’m sure they run both but ABC and the NFL runs Xsan.

I hear that KCBS here in Los Angeles here is. At least that is what I got from the Apple Event at NAB.

And I hear that part of the BBC in London is as well.

Why?

Well, I’m interested in a solution like that.

Got any more info on their workflow/setup?

I’d check the Apple Pro site and see if they have anything.

If it’s a large multi-User SAN, then your best bet is to work with a local VAR / broadcast integration company as setting up a large system like that is not something you want to jump into without proper planning. Even seeing how someone else is all set up is only good for initial ideas. Once it gets beyond that there are a ton of factors to be considered, not the least of which is support, and generally only a local company that can come on site to see your situation going to work out much better than putting something together yourself.

Perhaps I need to be abit more clear what I’m after.

I would like to read a guide or perhaps article about some of these places.
What gear do they use, workflow etc?

Those would only be available from something like the Apple Pro Stories at Apple.com, the websites of the production facilities themselves, the websites of the company(s) that did the setup, or through a trade magazine website.

I believe Granada TV in Bristol (UK) run an all Mac setup, with a few terabytes of networked storage and edit suites/dubbing suites all sharing. I think they’ve even a few ‘floating’ portable edit stations for producers etc. to log, trim and the like. No playout or anything like that AFAIK, but a pretty big throughput nonetheless

As Walter says, not something you want to do without reading the instructions first 😉
