Rádio de Cabo Verde (RCV) is to standardise and streamline ingest, production, broadcast and archiving across Group Radiotelevisão Caboverdiana (RTC) stations on five Cape Verde islands. Its solution is Netia’s Radio-Assist 8 suite of digital audio software.
Working with systems integrator EuroCOM and in partnership with Radio France Internationale to provide some of the content, Netia will enable RTC to prepare and deliver regional news broadcasts in Portuguese and local Creole to the islands of Praia, Mindelo, Sal, Fogo, and Santa Caterina.
‘As we consolidate and strengthen digital media workflows at RTC facilities, our primary objectives are to unify, centralise, and harmonise all existing systems and, in turn, to improve production and distribution of content,’ says Francisco Monteiro, RCV Communication & Marketing Director. ‘Netia’s software system will provide us with the range of professional tools we require to complete this project successfully.’
The Radio-Assist 8 range of digital audio software covers acquisition, sound file editing, commercial and music production, scheduling, multicasting, data security and administration. With a common platform for working with and exchanging digital media, RTC stations across the Cape Verde islands will optimise and maximise their workflows and collaborative production capabilities.
‘Radio-Assist 8 provides all the functionality required across multiple stations,’ says Pascal Cima, Export Sales Manager at Netia. ‘As used by RTC, it yields significant improvements in collaborative news and programme production. RTC is able to exchange digital media between stations with ease and can more effectively draw on all of its journalistic resources to provide quality news content.’
