Pilat Media By Heather McLean
Pilat Media is demonstrating the latest enhancements to its flagship Integrated Broadcast Management System (IBMS), billed as a functionally rich and scalable software system for enterprise-wide management of broadcasting, VoD and airtime sales operations. The recently launched IBMS
Express is a modular and flexible entry level business management system based on the company’s broadcast management solutions. Deployable as a cloud based SaaS system, IBMS Express lowers training requirements and shortens implementation
projects. It also minimises IT investment and maintenance as well as reducing up-front deployment capital through a pay-as-you-grow pricing service.
The latest version of IBMS Omnicast, meanwhile, includes a service matrix for multiplatform delivery, linking together all service offerings in a hierarchy. With this tool, broadcasters can schedule content once at the top level, and the system will automatically create offers on each linked delivery outlet, applying appropriate rights checks and media assignment for each platform. This feature is also available as IBMS OnDemand, an add-on nonlinear content management module for
IBMS-managed environments. The company is also demonstrating IBMS Rights. This is a system that delivers centralised rights management across all broadcasting
operations and Pilat is showing additional functionality for distribution licenses, which includes the identification of revenue shares and
management of the associated
payments back to the original content providers. 2.B30
Gauging demand: IBMS Omnicast requests gauges in action
mediARC archive system gains automated QC NOA By Paul Watson
In partnership with VidCheck, NOA has integrated VidChecker automated quality control into its mediARC archiving system, which it says now provide highly adaptable
and accurate QC facilities within a complete end-to-end archiving solution. VidChecker performs
comprehensive checks of video and audio parameters as part of the mediARC workflow; with VidChecker integrated into the system, these automatic quality control checks are performed consistently and
accurately, at faster than realtime, NOA says. When quality issues are detected, the software acts on the problem in one of three ways: flagging it as a warning only; as a fail on error; or by approving it to the archive depending on selectable acceptance criteria. The produced archive media
file is validated to ensure it meets the appropriate acceptance criteria, depending upon factors such as the source media resolution, age, usage requirements and the specific workflow requirements of the broadcaster.
NOA says that by automating quality control as an integrated part of the archiving workflow,
mediaARC with VidChecker makes it unnecessary for an operator to manually check the content, except where the system detects an error; and in addition to the productivity benefits, this ensures that all content is checked in its entirety, resulting in completely secure and consistent archive quality. 8.D91
Blonde is bright
Photon Beard By David Fox
Platinum Blonde, a 1200 Watt HMI in an open face format that is claimed to be ideal for use as a bounce light, punching through windows or mounting on trailers for moving car shots, has been launched by Photon Beard. The company is also showing a new DMX-controlled Non-Dim Switcher designed to enable devices that only have standby modes to be remotely disconnected so that they don’t drain valuable power resources when not in use. Photon Beard has also
introduced a new space light adapter for its Highlight 440 fluorescent lamps, as well as a new cyclorama hood for that model to give even illumination over a 6m fall. 11.D43
