Systems integrator ATG Broadcast has signed a deal with BBC Broadcast for the integration of a central storage and archive system to be installed at its new Broadcast Centre facility in west London. The initial phase of the project will allow several days' worth of programme files to be archived from multiple playout servers to a central library so that programmes needing repeat broadcasts only have to be ingested once. With the new system in place, regional broadcasters will be able to transfer programme files set for broadcast in their areas, giving greater flexibility to their schedules.
