Inside the Austin Media Center: Building a Modern Broadcast Facility from the Ground Up
Webinar
Launching a cutting-edge media facility from the ground up is a major undertaking - it takes vision, strategic planning, and the right technology to bring it all to life. That's exactly what Austin PBS achieved with the debut of the Austin Media Center - a state-of-the-art facility built to support modern UHD, HDR, and ATSC 3.0 broadcast standards.
Developed in collaboration with Key Code Media and co-located with Austin Community College, the new media center empowers Austin PBS to continue serving as a vital source of local news, cultural programming, and iconic shows like Austin City Limits for the Central Texas community.
Join Chris Ostertag, Chief Technology Officer, from Austin PBS, John Connolly, Vice-President, from Key Code Media and Harry Friedman, Regional Sales Manager, Ross Video for an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at how this transformational project came to life.
In this session, you'll learn:
- What drove Austin PBS to build a brand-new Media Center from the ground up
- How they designed a flexible, modern workflow to support a variety of productions
- What criteria guided the selection of their technology partners
- What's next for Austin PBS as they expand their content and community impact
