Iroquois, ON, Canada – August 8, 2006 – ATV Jordan has invested in three Ross Synergy 3 SD digital production switchers, announced Ross Video. The switchers will be installed in two new large production studios and a smaller news studio and were proposed by dB Broadcast, Systems Integrator in the UK. Installation is expected to be complete by the summer of 2006.

ATV Jordan went out to tender in February 2005 to build a new TV station and dB Broadcast was awarded the project as Systems Integrator. dB Broadcast is responsible for the full technical infrastructure of the station and is providing support to both the architects and builders. At NAB2005 the consultant for ATV Jordan and dB received switcher demonstrations by various manufacturers and it was agreed to invest in Synergy.

“The Synergy switchers are easy to configure and install and we were impressed with the support provided from both Ross UK and head offices,” said Tom Swan, Sales and Marketing Director, dB Broadcast. “The switchers offered the latest technology and a lot of features at an effective price point and are ideal for live productions.”

ATV is the first independent broadcast channel in Jordan. The switchers were installed at the ATV station in Amman, capital of Jordan. The station produces a variety of news and entertainment programming that includes a live studio audience.

“We are extremely pleased to be working with ATV Jordan and dB Broadcast on their new studio build,” said, Sharon Quigley, Ross Video Manager, International Sales - EAIME. “The Synergy 3 SD has excellent performance for a live production environment. The switcher is perfectly suited to ATV Jordan’s production needs.”

The Synergy 3 SD is a great choice for large market newscasts, large mobile trucks, sports stadiums and production intense IMAG applications. Synergy SD offers a complete growth path to the Synergy Multi-Definition switchers. The rack frame has 24 serial digital inputs (expandable to 64), 20 serial digital outputs, 6 chroma keyers, 6 effects keyers, and 2 additional downstream keyers available. There are up to 6 channels of Squeeze & Tease WARP DVE loaded with effects. Synergy 3 SD is an advanced and flexible digital production switcher.
