CTV relies on Ross Video solutions

Ross Video has entered into a five year agreement with
CTVglobemedia to provide production control room technologies for all CTV
properties. CTV’s first two purchases are for Vision
4 QMD-X switchers and SoftMetal Servers at CTV National News and CTV Toronto’s
(CFTO) news control rooms. Prior to the agreement, CTVglobemedia had
implemented several Ross switchers for local news production in Montreal, Ottawa,
Toronto, Sudbury,
Regina and Saskatoon,
A-Channel News in Ottawa, Barrie,
and
London,
along with the main control room for CTV Newsnet. In sports production, CTV has
implemented Ross switchers in TSN’s SportsCentre, RDS studio two and RIS.

“We are thrilled that CTV has chosen to standardize on our Vision QMD/X series
of multi-definition production switchers,” said David Ross, CEO. “This
agreement and this sale give Ross a tremendous presence with CTV.”

“CTV has chosen Ross’ switcher technologies for a number of reasons,” said
Allan Morris, Senior Vice President Engineering, Operations and IT. “Ross has
shown leadership and innovation in the design of their products, including the implementation
of many customer requests along the way. We believe that as CTV moves forward
with its HD strategy, Ross will ensure that the marketplace provides the right equipment
for our applications.”
