BBC Scotland has invested in advanced multi-format switchers from Sony. This adds BBC Scotland to a long list of European broadcasters and media organisations, including Euro Media Group, ORF, BBC Television Centre and Cinevideo, that are using Sony switchers to future-proof their operations and create high-end IP Live production environments.
   

BBC Scotland has deployed one Sony XVS-8000 switcher in its news studio, and a Sony XVS-7000 switcher in their main general production studio, at Pacific Quay in Glasgow. A second Sony XVS-7000 switcher is installed in their large-format OB truck. The XVS series of advanced 4K/IP professional production switchers provides the foundation for any next-generation IP Live production system. These switchers support SDI and the latest SMPTE ST2110 standard to create mixed IP/SDI production environments, and offer excellent versatility, enhanced frame memory, format conversion, multi-viewer capabilities, and a wide range of video input and output formats.
