Omneon
ProXchangeT
At
IBC2007, Omneon will introduce to the European market
ProXchangeT, a high-performance transcoding system designed
for high-volume, multiformat media environments. ProXchange
is the first media processing application specifically
designed to run on Omneon's MediaGridT active storage
system, taking advantage of MediaGrid's combined storage
and processing architecture to deliver scalable and
efficient grid-based transcoding. The integration of
transcode processing within the MediaGrid active storage
system streamlines file-based workflows by eliminating
the need for external processing systems and multiple
file copies.
ProXchange
performs conversion between a wide variety of video
and audio formats, including all formats supported by
the Omneon SpectrumT media server, as well as conversion
to a low-resolution H.264 format. Conversion and re-wrapping
between wrapper formats also is supported (QuickTime
and MXF), with preservation and accurate placement of
all metadata through all conversions.
As
media files move from acquisition to production to playout,
these files often need to be converted in order to be
in the proper format for each application in the workflow.
ProXchange streamlines the process of converting files
to the appropriate format for each application, making
workflows faster, more efficient, and more consistent.
The combination of MediaGrid and ProXchange also simplifies
the process of repurposing media. For example, ProXchange
can take MPEG-2 50 Mbps I-Frame content,automatically
create a transmission copy in MPEG Long GOP, and concurrently
create an H.264 clip for distribution to IPTV or the
Web.
ProXchange
works by harnessing the unique combined storage and
processing architecture of the MediaGrid, and hence
brings a fundamental change to the workflow, helping
to eliminate separate application islands and allowing
all parts of a facility to function as a cohesive whole.

MediaDeckT
IBC2007
marks the European debut of the Omneon MediaDeckT
-- a compact, affordable integrated media server
system based on the proven technology of the company's
flagship Spectrum media server.The Omneon MediaDeck
integrates media storage, system management, Gigabit
Ethernet connectivity,
and SD or HD video I/O modules in one convenient
package only two rack-units high. |

Omneon
MediaDeck storage consists of eight 500-GB SATA disk
drives with dual-parity RAID, providing 3 TB of useable
storage and protection even in the event of two drive
failures. The system also features modular I/O components,
so users can mix and match modules to fit their needs.
SD modules for ingest and playout (up to six channels
per unit) and HD ingest modules (up to two channels
per unit) are immediately available. Additional modules
will follow to add further ingest and playout channels
and formats.
Designed
for small stations and other users requiring a standalone
server that is affordable, reliable, and compatible
with existing automation systems and workflows, the
Omneon MediaDeck represents a breakthrough in price-performance
for media server technology.
Omneon
Spectrum HD -- Now With Integrated MPEG-2 HD Ingest
IBC2007
also will see the European debut for a new family
of media interface components for the Omneon Spectrum
media server, adding integrated MPEG-2 HD encoding
capability to the platform. Building on the principles
that have made the Spectrum so widely accepted --
scalability, flexibility, and
reliability -- the new HD encoders (the MediaPort
5000 series) provide integrated HD ingest, enabling
an end-to-end SD or HD ingest and playout solution
from Omneon. This new generation of MediaPorts is
based on a flexible architecture that allows for the
use of either hardware or software codec technology,
depending on format and feature requirements. The
new architecture provides a high degree of flexibility
for how codec technology can be integrated into an
Omneon system as well as a platform that can
accommodate new advanced codecs as they emerge in
the market.
The
new Spectrum MediaPort 5300 series will be available
initially as MPEG-2 HD encoders, supporting both I-Frame
and Long GOP formats in bitrates ranging from 18 to
78 megabits per second. They are offered in a single-
or dual-channel configuration, delivering one or two
channels of MPEG-2 HD
encoding and further improving the cost-effectiveness
of the Spectrum server. As with all new Omneon MediaPorts,
the new 5300 series supports up to 16 channels of
audio, useful for today's surround sound and multilanguage
broadcasting.
NEW
Omneon Spectrum HD -- Now With DVCPRO HD Ingest
In
addition to the European introduction of the MediaPort
5000 series, at IBC2007 Omneon also will launch the
MediaPort 6000 series, a new line of MediaPorts that
complements the Spectrum product line by adding support
for additional formats via software codec technology.
The MediaPort 6101 DVCPRO HD encoder/decoder is the
first product available in the new line, providing
real-time recording and playback of native DVCPRO
HD, the most popular HD acquisition and edit format
deployed today. The MediaPort 6101 offers broadcasters
the ease of DVCPRO HD integration into existing workflows
while protecting investments in field acquisition
equipment.
With
the launch of the MediaPort 5000 and MediaPort 6000
series, Omneon reaffirms its commitment to support
the widest variety of HD formats, reflecting the company's
overall multi-format and HD leadership and furthering
the company's "HD-in-any-format" positioning.
The
new modular MediaPorts can be connected easily to
any existing Omneon Spectrum media server to add new
HD functionality, and can be mixed with other Omneon
MediaPorts for SD within the same system. The addition
of a new MediaPort to an existing server requires
no disruptive upgrade procedure and in most cases
can be done while the system remains online.
