we have managed to put all the single components into one video server, including functionalities for every single workfl ow. Whereas traditional architecture would require separate systems to carry out
the equivalent functionality, our all-in-one broadcast solution Genesix fully met the project demands and took the ORF one step closer into a tapeless scenario. This has proven Genesix’s capabilities and
showed the power of a fully integrated and highly automated Channel-in-a-Box system.

had a very clear visual look and performance criteria in mind, and these were best achieved by using the Harmonic and Snell systems together. The channel requirements went well beyond simply putting ChannelPort under automation control as the play-to-air system. The actual deployment also includes Spectrum servers for ingest and the MediaGrid shared storage system for centralised storage. These and other media workfl ow and control systems interoperate to deliver a sophisticated and striking on-air product — and one in which the on-screen action continues even as ads and supporting graphic branding run to support the commercial operation of the channel. Weigner: One of our largest customers, Dogan Media Group, went from six traditional playout channels to more than one hundred units with our software-based commodity IT-server playout, without having to increase the physical rack space. To achieve this scale in the short amount of time required, in the small physical space available, and at an affordable budget, would not have been possible with the traditional solution used before. Today, this customer is moving forward with us, migrating its playout centre into a private cloud. Zdravkoski: After winning a tendering within the ORF, the national Austrian broadcaster, we worked closely with our client to make sure to fulfi l the specifi c requirements. As we tried to simplify the workfl ow in broadcast management, we developed a multi-channel all-in-one solution that now works as a parallel backup to the existing ORF systems and serves TV channels ORF 1, 2 and 3. The backup ensures the smoothness of the daily television business and can be integrated easily in the customer’s infrastructures and workfl ows. Since we started to develop this all-in-one solution,
