What is one of the key reasons why broadcasters want to upgrade their facilities to the latest high-definition transmission solutions? Of course, user delight tops the list. But there is another important motive as well. And that is to invest in systems that will be future-proof and will therefore give them better return on their investment.

It was this thought that made Moscow-based satellite broadcaster Football Channel go for, and recently complete, a major upgrade of the graphics, scheduling and playout system at its studios on the city’s south-western perimeter. The project was performed in co-operation with PlayBox Technology distribution partner, Systems Video Graphics Animation LLC (SVGA), which is also located in the Russian capital.
