theibcdaily Dual SSD PCI card can be RAID
Sonnet Technologies By Carolyn Giardina
Sonnet Technologies has introduced the Tempo SSD and Tempo SSD Pro 6Gbps SATA PCI Express 2.5-inch SSD Cards. The user is free to select SSD storage of any brand or capacity, with the option to later upgrade the drives without changing the card. Tempo SSD uses a high- performance 6Gbps SATA controller and a PCIe 2.0 interface, and features a
modular design that supports one SSD with the card at half- length, or two SSDs with an included bracket that extends the card to full-length. Tempo SSD supports sustained read speeds from a single SSD at up to 470MBps, or two SSDs configured as a RAID 0 set at up to 660MBps. With Sonnet’s Tempo SSD
Pro card, users can mount two SSDs in a full-length PCIe slot. This card features two higher-performance 6Gbps SATA SSD controllers that support sustained read speeds of up to 900MBps
from two SSDs configured as a RAID 0 set. Sonnet Tempo SSD and
Tempo SSD Pro install into a Mac or Windows computer’s PCIe slot or into a Thunderbolt
expansion chassis for PCIe cards like Sonnet’s Echo Express or Echo Express Pro, respectively, and can be configured as a boot drive under Windows. Both cards
ViewSat deploys video headend
Harmonic By Ian McMurray
UK-based satellite provider ViewSat has installed a comprehensive digital video headend based on Harmonic video processing solutions. Leveraging Harmonic’s Electra multichannel encoding and ProStream with ACE realtime stream processing and transcoding platforms, Harmonic said that ViewSat can more
efficiently allocate satellite bandwidth for its direct-to- home (DTH) service, enabling the satellite provider to deliver an exceptional quality of service to subscribers located in Africa and the Middle East.
“In deploying a new digital video headend, our goal was to find a solution that would optimise bandwidth while ensuring a high quality of experience for our customers,” said Awaes Jaswal, CEO, ViewSat.
“Harmonic’s high-density and scalable video processing solutions will enable us to efficiently add new channels and services in the future to support our growing subscriber base, all while maintaining superior video quality.” ViewSat utilises
Harmonic’s Electra MPEG- 2 encoders which are capable of supporting up to four SD or HD video channels from a single rack unit.
Harmonic’s ProStream
with ACE transcoder is said to maximise bandwidth utilisation for ViewSat’s service while performing SD/HD, MPEG-2 video and audio transcoding of up to 20 HD or 60 SD channels, with ASI to IP multiplexing and scrambling, from a single rack unit. The ProStream platform is claimed to decrease capital and operating expenses through reduced rack space and energy consumption. 1.B20

The GAVA (Gefen A/V Automation) system is being exhibited at Gefen’s IBC stand today. The technology is developed to offer anywhere/anytime control of audio/video systems, including the option to automate lighting and other tasks using a smartphone or tablet. GAVA comes in a small enclosure that contains both the software and hardware needed for configuration. It offers IP access to all devices in the system including AV receivers, matrix switchers, Blu-ray players, Apple TV, iTunes, set-top boxes and one or more displays. If some devices are not IP-ready, GAVA can be combined with Gefen’s PACS (Professional Automation Control System) and/or Mini PACS. These are essentially bridge devices that connect RS-232, IR and triggers to the GAVA system via IP.
Eight IR emitter ports, three RS-232 ports, 10
trigger outputs and an Ethernet 10/100 BaseT connection are included on the PACS. Mini PACS has three IR ports, one RS-232 port, two relay contacts and the Ethernet port. GAVA allows control
through an HTML5 interface that works with all smart phones and tablets. It supports single-room or multi- room/multi-zone residential A/V systems as well as commercial applications such as conference rooms, boardrooms, and restaurants. 7.B30
