By Heather McLean Project Parking, which assists editors and facilities to manage their Avid edit storage more effectively, is being shown for the first time in Europe at IBC by Marquis Broadcast. Already on V3, Project Parking allows a complete analysis, archive and easy retrieval of all media projects, freeing up edit storage space. It enables editors to analyse all the projects and media on their edit storage by size, project, location, age, duplicated or orphaned files and then archive files to second tier storage, or delete unused media, take snapshots of versions of
CDN gets a boost
Broadpeak
By Ian McMurray According to Broadpeak, to compete with global CDN service providers, operator CDNs must be cost-effective and scalable – and they can achieve this by deploying disruptive technologies such as Broadpeak’s nanoCDN technology. Broadpeak’s nanoCDN
relies on the usage of home network equipment as elements of the CDN to boost the video delivery capabilities. The company says that when it comes to delivering video content, telecom and cable operators have an edge locally because they own and control their network while global CDN service providers are best at delivering content internationally. As a
consequence, a single CDN service provider approach puts content providers at a disadvantage for targeting different geographical areas, according to the company: what they need is an effective CDN selection solution. Broadpeak claims that its
umbrellaCDN helps content providers transition to a best- of-breed approach supporting multiple CDNs. After deploying umbrellaCDN, content providers and operators can select the ideal CDN by setting allocation rules that can be applied dynamically and take into account changing conditions. 4.B72
projects, or move from one location to another, while still maintaining a usable and easily accessible format for future use. The latest version of Medway is also being demonstrated. Medway V3 now includes features to support lossy and
lossless JPEG 2000 encoding and support for H.264 encoding for proxy creation. The H.264 support is being shown in an Avid proxy workflow where ingested media is prepared for the off-line edit, after which Medway can deliver full
resolution trimmed media for Avid to perform the relink and on-line and finishing, allowing for edit workflows which are said to be faster, less resource-intensive and yet produce results of the highest possible quality. “Marquis is committed to
helping broadcasters achieve maximum efficiencies from their digital processes through our technology,” confirmed Ben Miles, business development manager at Marquis. “The solutions we are showing at this year’s IBC are our latest developments aimed at integrating an extensive range of broadcast systems providing seamless workflows.” 2.A58
