    NEWBURY, UK --

    Dolce Sport TV channels have purchased a Quantel Enterprise sQ fast turnaround news and sports production system. The system was supplied through Quantel’s system integration partner, Studiotech, following a bidding procedure. Dolce Sport are the sports TV channels of Telekom Romania Communications S.A. (former Romtelecom S.A. and arm of OTE and Deutsche Telekom Groups). One of the biggest TV providers in Romania, Telekom Romania Communications reported almost 1.4 million subscribers at the end of Q2 2014. 

    The Enterprise sQ system enables full HD editing to begin the moment media ingest begins, with edited packages ready to go to air, web and mobile/tablet the second they are completed.

    Dolce Sport’s Enterprise sQ system comprises 880 hours of AVC-Intra 100 (MPEG-4) HD storage, with file ingest handled by sQ Fileflow and video/lines by sQ Record Journalist shot selection and editing is supported by 20 sQ View and four sQ Cut applications, integrated into Dolce Sport’s Octopus newsroom computer system desktops. In addition, five sQ Edit seats provide more sophisticated editing capabilities and two Qubes deliver high-end craft editing. Field editing is supported with four of Quantel’s Marco remote editors. Finally, playout is controlled with two sQ Play panels.

    “Using this new system we are upgrading, from a technical point of view, the experience we want to give to our viewers, meaning delivering up-to-the-second news and sports programming,” said Cristian Nedelcu, Dolce Sport head of broadcast operations and engineering. “Since the moment we started to deploy the Quantel system to an ambitious delivery and installation deadline, our journalists and editors quickly adopted its intuitive user interface. The Quantel system has given us everything we need to deliver content that matches the highest benchmarks in the industry.”

    Supreme Court Allows Multibillion-Dollar Class Action Lawsuit To Proceed Against Meta

    Friday, November 22, 2024

    The Supreme Court is allowing a multibillion-dollar class action investors' lawsuit to proceed against Facebook parent Meta, stemming from the privacy scandal involving the Cambridge Analytica political consulting firm.

    The justices heard arguments in November in Meta's bid to shut down the lawsuit. On Friday, they decided that they were wrong to take up the case in the first place.

    The high court dismissed the company's appeal, leaving in place an appellate ruling allowing the case to go forward.

    Investors allege that Meta did not fully disclose the risks that Facebook users' personal information would be misused by Cambridge Analytica, a firm that supported Donald Trump 's first successful Republican presidential campaign in 2016.

    Inadequacy of the disclosures led to two significant price drops in the price of the company's shares in 2018, after the public learned about the extent of the privacy scandal, the investors say.

    Meta spokesman Andy Stone said the company was disappointed by the court's action. "The plaintiff's claims are baseless and we will continue to defend ourselves as this case is considered by the District Court," Stone said in an emailed statement.

    Meta already has paid a $5.1 billion fine and reached a $725 million privacy settlement with users.

    Cambridge Analytica had ties to Trump political strategist Steve Bannon. It had paid a Facebook app developer for access to the personal information of about 87 million Facebook users. That data was then used to target U.S. voters during the 2016 campaign.

    The lawsuit is one of two high court cases involving class-action lawsuits against tech companies. The justices also are wrestling with whether to shut down a class action against Nvidia.... Read More
