Our Customers

We are proud to work with all our customers, large or small.  Each one is just as important as the next, and receive the same high quality service that we are known for.

Emmis Communication - Indianapolis IN- 2005 Emmis contacted VTI to explore the possibility of centrally generating PSIP data from their corporate office to be sent over their internal IP network to each of their 21 television stations.  At the time, this ability was not available.  VTI worked closely with Triveni Digital and Logic Innovations and was able to demonstrate a working solution within 30 days of starting the process. By using a single Triveni GuideBuilder PSIP generator, Emmis was able to save substantial money compared to the cost of individual PSIP generators for each station.  Emmis deployed this system in early 2005.

Christian Television Network - Clearwater FL - 2004

CTN needed a cost effective solution to provide PSIP to their seven owned television stations. They wanted to explore centrally generated PSIP but only had dial access to the station transmitter sites where the encoders are located.  VTI worked with Triveni Digital and Logic Innovations to modify their systems to allow for dial-up connections between a single Triveni GuideBuilder and seven Logic Innovation multiplexers. VTI provided special IP to dial-up modems and commissioned the entire system.

Diversified Communications - Jacksonville FL - 2004

Diversified contracted with VTI to provide a PSIP solution for their four station group.  VTI put a package together that included four Triveni GuideBuilder PSIP generators with Logic Innovation multiplexers and two StreamScope ATSC stream analyses.   The GuideBuilder/LI Multiplexer combination allowed for the multiplexer to carousel the data in its memory which insures an uninterrupted PSIP data stream.

KIMO TV - Anchorage AK- 2003

KIMO was looking at a cost effective server to handle playout for three transmissions across Alaska.  KIMO known as 'Alaska's Super Station' is the origination point for ABC programming for all of Alaska.  The corporate engineer contacted VTI looking for a solution that fit both their technical as well as budget needs.  After careful evaluation, it was decided to use a Leitch NexioITS server and Leitch conversion gear.  The server uses internal storage and has four channel capability.  This allowed for three playout and one ingest channel, meeting their requirement.  VTI pre-built the system at our facility and shipped the equipment to KIMO where we spent two days on-site in Anchorage installing the system into their existing infrastructure.

WEDU TV - Tampa FL - 2003

VTI worked closely with WEDU engineering to develop a cost effective ATSC DTV broadcast system.  The system includes the ability to transmit three program streams, one HD and two SD.  WEDU is a pioneer in West Central Florida digital television.  Not only is WEDU the first station "multi-casting", they also were the only station to provide complete Electronic Program Guide information as well as full EAS capability on all digital channels.  VTI delivered the system ahead of WEDU's expectations, allowing station personnel time to learn the new system prior to going on-the-air in May 2003.

Villages News Network - The Villages FL - 2002
VNN was looking for a cost effective solution to be able to more easily program cable channels on two different cable systems.  VNN provides local news and information programming to a growing area of Central Florida.  As they expanded their coverage, they realized the need to improve their program and spot playback capacity.  VTI designed and built a video server solution that includes a Leitch VR Series server plus the additional infrastructure to be able to program two separate cable channels.  The server ingests a traffic log directly from the Traffic Department, which greatly simplifies the on-air operation of VNN.

WOFL TV - Orlando FL - 2002
Two weeks before Super Bowl XXXVI in New Orleans, WOFL contacted VTI about upgrading their DTV system.  WOLF was an early adapter broadcasting SD programming directly from their analog MCR.  In a matter of a few days, VTI was able to provide a new Tandberg HD encoder and Teranex up-converter as well as a few accessories needed to switch between the Fox enhanced feed and the local MCR output.  The new system was commissioned and on the air three days before Super Bowl Sunday.

St. Petersburg College - St. Petersburg FL - 2001-2003
VTI completed a second phase of an upgrade to SPC's editing and dubbing system.  We initially doubled the capacity to dub VHS video tapes as well as adding the capability of dubbing SVHS tapes.  A X-Y router and DVCam editing deck were added, giving SPC the ability to dub multiple separate tapes, while also editing on their BetaSP/DV editing system.  The most recent upgrade including expanding the routing system as well as adding a DVD recorder and tying in their non-linear editor to the system.

STC Communications - St. Petersburg FL - 2001
VTI worked closely with STC's corporate engineer to evaluate HD up converters.  VTI was able to negotiate a group purchase of five Teranex up-converters.  This was the first phase of their digital transition.
