We next spoke to Ugo Ragnoli and Massimo Tanghetti from Teletutto.

What is your job?

We are responsible for content. For live programmes we look after the broadcast suite, the logistics and the styling of programmes. In addition, we also coordinate studio filming. We organise edited programmes and often edit them ourselves too.

How has your work in the studio changed since the Toaster arrived?

It's changed almost completely. No longer any need to wander around with armloads of cables or remotes for the tape decks, all our projects are available for broadcast at the click of a button and there's no more pre-roll or broken video tape to worry about.

Which of the Video Toaster tools do you use most?

Undoubtedly VT-Edit and Toaster CG for production and the DDR for the broadcast suite.

What would you like to see in future versions of the Video Toaster?

We would really like to push the Video Toaster for commenting on football matches and we would love to have a really good tool for doing slow motion in a live setting. VT-Edit's slow motion is very good quality, but controlling it live is a bit tricky - a hardware jog/shuttle dial would be a great solution. We would also like to be able to de-interlace or interpolate the field when the clip is in pause or stop mode.

To end this profile of Teletutto we have some last questions for Federico Bertani, the coordinator of Teletutto's News department.

What are the links between Sony's News system and the Video Toaster?

Sony's News system is based on the DV25 format and we've installed our network on a NAS server that means we can share and swap data between the Video Toaster and Sony environments painlessly.

What do you use the Video Toaster for in the news department?

All editing of segments, programmes and short sponsored programmes is done using the Video Toaster. The journalists, helped by technicians, edit their own footage on the Video Toaster.

Thanks Paolo, Ugo, Massimo and Federico for talking to us. You can find out more information about Teletutto at their site
