TRUSTED PARTNER Ro h de & Schwarz has decades of experience in broadcast and media, using its deep understanding of how production, playout and distribution has worked in the past to innovate foundational solutions for the IP and cloud-based future. Its technology solutions are deployed extensively
In addition to this increased flexibility, the new function addresses other common issues found within IP-based production and distribution networks, such as resource allocation. ASSET UTILISATION Asset utilisation is notoriously low in the broadcast industry. The sector talks about making the most of hefty
for mission-critical use by high- profile broadcasters worldwide. Rather than throwing that legacy out overnight, customers are partnering with R&S to access its vast knowledge to innovate their infrastructure and workflows – at their pace – to leverage the benefits IP and cloud can offer. Built on a modular architecture based on five core technologies – video server, playout, storage, multiviewing and monitoring – solutions are designed to directly
capital outlay, yet typically 70% of the time, an asset sits in a rack unused. It’s an extremely expensive, highly inefficient model, especially with an alternative at hand. It brings answers to the question of why pay 100% up front when you only use 60% of the features, 40% of the time. The latest version of Prismon (combined monitoring or multiviewing application)
THE TRANSITION TO IP HAS BEEN RIGHTLY HERALDED AS A GAME-CHANGER
address many of the issues that complicate common IP, cloud and hybrid deployments. R&S allows teams to create customisable workflows, with a variety of apps that can be quickly and flexibly deployed. This modularity is a key component in any broadcaster ’s ability to scale. For example, the new Scalable Distributed Multiviewer (SDM) feature offered within R&S Prismon enables any input to output connectivity through IP proxy networks, for up to 36 server instances. Users can render a view with multiple UHD inputs – beyond the decoding capacity of a single system.
requires significantly less CPU power and fewer decoding licences. The SDM feature also provides higher network flexibility and is part of a series of new tool sets, allowing a large number of Prismons to be configured through a centralised control user interface – the Multiviewer Control Center. This innovation satisfies studio galleries and master control rooms looking to migrate to IP-based workflows. Ro h de & Schwarz software defined, virtualised solutions unlock the efficiencies of elastic compute in clear, steady steps, from SDI to IP, on-premise, in a data centre, or in the public cloud.
