Lithuanian broadcaster LNK Group has moved playout and media management for LNK, BTV, TV1, InfoTV and 2TV onto Grass Valley’s AMPP Media Operating System. Playout X and Framelight X run on AMPP Local at the Vilnius facility alongside the broadcaster’s SMPTE ST 2110 transition.
Redundant Playout X chains handle scheduled programmes, advertising, live inputs, secondary recording, HTML5 graphics, advanced audio and SCTE signalling for digital advertising. LNK and BTV also accept SRT contribution feeds.
Framelight X provides media management, logging, editing, record scheduling and review against central NAS storage and an archive of roughly 150,000 assets. Integrator Hannu Pro connected the new environment with LNK’s existing Telestream DIVA and Vantage systems. Separate AMPP capacity on AWS with Wasabi storage provides disaster recovery for LNK and BTV.
The deployment is operational, but public information does not disclose failover objectives, end-to-end latency, ST 2110 redundancy profile or whether cloud recovery has been tested under a full site-loss scenario. Those measures will determine how the software-defined design performs beyond normal operations.
