CNN has created television trends with its lineup of news channels, and now it's following one as its engineering team will spend much of the next year getting new digital newsrooms up and running in both Atlanta and New York.

An important player in the move, which will take place in CNN's Atlanta and New York operations, is Pinnacle Systems.

But that will change soon as CNN begins placing orders for equipment.
