Johnson said it may take a few years to deploy the new system throughout the group, but that five stations will get the upgrade this year. All stories and video clips are stored in Bitcentral's remote servers as low-res proxies. If a producer decides to use a particular piece of content, he can call for the high-res version from the station that produced it. The speed of the rollout will be determined by how quickly the legacy Avid systems last or how long it takes to fully depreciate them.
