Case Study: Manhattan Neighborhood Network achieves reliable digital playout and quality monitoring with Grass Valley

Grass Valley Systems Drive Playout and Quality Monitoring at MNN

The Manhattan Neighborhood Network (MNN), a public access broadcaster in New York, faced the challenge of replacing its aging and difficult-to-use automation and routing equipment with a new, high-quality, and redundant digital infrastructure. To address this, they partnered with vendor Grass Valley for a solution.

Grass Valley implemented its Morpheus playout automation, ICE channel-in-a-box, and Hyperion monitoring system. This new infrastructure resulted in a significant operational improvement, described by MNN as a "quantum-leap" in ease of use and setup. The solution provided a more efficient, cost-effective, and reliable model for delivering top-quality programming, solidifying MNN's reputation as a technological leader in public access broadcasting.
