    MONTREAL --

    The Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) has been relying on production solutions from Grass Valley, a Belden Brand, for more than 20 years. When the company began its latest project to upgrade 13 studios in eight capital cities across the country, it selected Grass Valley’s K-Frame-based switchers for all 13 locations, with a mixture of Karrera and the new award-winning GV Korona switcher panels.

    The ABC has turned to Grass Valley for switcher solutions because of the rich features, dependable operation and intuitive controls the switchers offer. The new K-Frame systems are replacing a fleet of older Grass Valley Kayak switchers and will continue to be instrumental in the production of news programming for the company.

    Both Karrera and GV Korona K-Frame switchers combine ultimate video processing performance, proven workflows, simplified control of complex productions and multiformat support including 1080p and 4K UHD. These capabilities are offered as two system packages, with 3 M/Es or 2 M/Es, for exceptional affordability, while the compact 6 RU video frame delivers a high level of functional integration for space efficiency.

    The ABC has taken advantage of the flexibility of the K-Frame engine to be paired with different control surfaces. The new switchers will join the existing fleet of Grass Valley Kayenne K-Frames currently in operation in the ABC’s studio production facilities. The 13 studios are responsible for the playout of ABC news and current affairs and will work closely with the ABC Integrated Media System (IMS) system that Grass Valley is providing to help the ABC renew its entire television, radio and web news production across Australia.

    Apple and Google Face UK Investigation Into Mobile Browser Dominance

    Saturday, November 23, 2024

    Apple and Google aren't giving consumers a genuine choice of mobile web browsers, a British watchdog said Friday in a report that recommends they face an investigation under new U.K. digital rules taking effect next year.

    The Competition and Markets Authority took aim at Apple, saying the iPhone maker's tactics hold back innovation by stopping rivals from giving users new features like faster webpage loading. Apple does this by restricting progressive web apps, which don't need to be downloaded from an app store and aren't subject to app store commissions, the report said.

    "This technology is not able to fully take off on iOS devices," the watchdog said in a provisional report on its investigation into mobile browsers that it opened after an initial study concluded that Apple and Google effectively have a chokehold on "mobile ecosystems."

    The CMA's report also found that Apple and Google manipulate the choices given to mobile phone users to make their own browsers "the clearest or easiest option."

    And it said that the a revenue-sharing deal between the two U.S. Big Tech companies "significantly reduces their financial incentives" to compete in mobile browsers on Apple's iOS operating system for iPhones.

    Both companies said they will "engage constructively" with the CMA.

    Apple said it disagreed with the findings and said it was concerned that the recommendations would undermine user privacy and security.

    Google said the openness of its Android mobile operating system "has helped to expand choice, reduce prices and democratize access to smartphones and apps" and that it's "committed to open platforms that empower consumers."

    It's the latest move by regulators on both sides of the Atlantic to crack down on the... Read More
