CASE STUDY: TELEARUBA (ARUBA)

Telearuba is the first broadcast television facility in the world to adopt .YES!, SI Media’s ultimate user friendly end to end platform.

.YES! is the latest release of the globally popular SI Media suite of news and broadcast management systems. .YES! was installed and commissioned at Telearuba during a two week period in February. Cristiano Brion (Italy) and Diego Reyes (Panama), together with our partner and systems integrator for project, BIG (Miami) delivered and configured the system. Thanks to the teamwork among SI Media and BIG’s technicians, it was possible to complete the first .YES! installation successfully in a very short time.

Telearuba, as the leading television station on the Caribbean Island of Aruba, provides locally-produced variety programming with the primary purpose of tourism promotion, information and entertainment for people of all ages. These include cultural events, news, entertainment, children’s programming, sports coverage and game shows.

The transition to .YES! is significant and it allows Telearuba’s users to log on to a unique web platform. A single screen user interface greets the .YES!, users displaying incoming: recordings, media asset management, traffic, news, playout and studio playout. .YES! is even faster and it provides the operator with a single web interface available for any available browser (Chrome, Firefox, etc). Telearuba has three channels: Telearuba 1, Telearuba 2 and Aruba.tv. Now, with .YES!, they can handle their channels from a single platform. On .YES!, there is also automatic interaction between playlist and playout, allowing the user to control, manage and modify directly from the web app.
