WLAE-TV picks Broadcast Pix 2000 switcher

PBS affiliate WLAE New Orleans has installed a Broadcast Pix 2000 switcher in a remote truck being used by the station’s production company, LAE Productions. The production unit recently won a contract to being broadcasting area high school football games on Cox Cable of Baton Rouge.

“Broadcast Pix was the only switcher that featured a built-in CG and clip store,” says Ron Yager, Station Manager, WLAE-TV and LAE Productions. “We can complete a production with our new switcher and never need to run anything through post. Plus, it’s really compact, so fits easily within our truck. Because of its high-quality graphics and integrated approach, we’re confident it will greatly improve the quality of our field productions as well increase our overall speed and efficiency.”

Broadcast Pix systems are used in the Americas, Europe and Asia for news, events, training, presentation, sports, and all live video production applications. Broadcast customers include affiliates of ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, PBS and European broadcasters, as well as many independent and cable stations.  Corporate and institutional customers include Hewlett-Packard, Microsoft, Cisco, Morgan-Stanley, General Motors, Johns Hopkins, Viacom, NASA, the US Army, colleges, mobile studios, stadiums, towns, churches and high schools.
