CBS Atlanta Completes HD Upgrade with Ross

Iroquois, ON, Canada – April 6, 2009 – CBS Atlanta selected Ross’ Vision 4 QMD-X Multi-Definition Production Switcher and SoftMetal Video Server for their recent HD upgrade.

“Vision’s powerful features, ease of use, and ongoing free software and phone support were major factors in our decision to go with Ross,” said Steve Flanagan, Director of Broadcast Operations and Engineering, CBS Atlanta. “Another advantage was SoftMetal and its ability to offer on the fly flexible channel configurations and software CODECS. We are quite pleased with the performance of Vision and SoftMetal, and the overall Ross support has definitely helped us to achieve our goal to broadcast high quality newscasts in HD.”

“I’ve viewed first hand CBS Atlanta’s local news productions and they’re the most technically sound HD newscast in the market,” said David Ross, CEO, Ross Video. “Ross plays a significant role in making their newscasts visually appealing.
