SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Arista Networks (NYSE:ANET) today announced that CBC/Radio-Canada,
Canada’s national public broadcaster, has chosen Arista Networks’ high
performance switching infrastructure for its new “Maison de
Radio-Canada” (MRC) in Montreal, a planned state-of-the-art facility
that will be fully compliant with the SMPTE ST2110 suite of standards
for professional media applications over managed IP networks.
The multi-year contract sets the stage for Arista Networks to provide
CBC with high performance IP Switching platforms, Arista
EOS® (Extensible Operating System) software features and
advanced services that will make “Maison de Radio-Canada” among the most
advanced IP broadcast facilities in the world.
“The relocation of CBC/Radio-Canada French Services headquarters in
Montreal is one of the most ambitious projects in our industry,” said
François Legrand, CBC’s Senior Director of Core Systems Engineering.
“Arista’s dedication, vast experience, proven track record and in-depth
understanding of the Media and Entertainment market are key to the
success of this project.”
The combination of Arista EOS, CloudVision®,
and Media
Control Services provides the management, orchestration and
telemetry applications required to configure, operate and monitor CBC’s
next generation broadcast network. Arista EOS delivers the reliability
and performance of a traditional broadcast infrastructure while enabling
CBC to meet customer demands for high definition audio and video,
including 4k and future 8k format requirements.
Arista’s Media Control Service API presents a basis for broadcast
control and telemetry systems to interact with the network, providing
bandwidth control and insight into the broadcast network.
The planned 39,000 m² (418,000 sq. ft.) Montreal broadcast facility will
host several production areas dedicated to news, television production
and post-production activities, fed by dozens of studios, control rooms,
editing and infographic workstations and audio mixing suites. Its
massive Master Control and Playout Room is designed to deliver 40
television channels, 40 web channels and 160 radio channels.
CBC/Radio-Canada’s broadcast channels reach an estimated monthly
audience of 14 million consumers. The new Maison de Radio-Canada (MRC)
will be a showcase for Canada’s public broadcaster with open, welcoming
and inviting public spaces for both visitors, and the employees who work
there every day. The creators and programmers will enjoy a dynamic,
stimulating environment designed to foster collaboration and innovation.
