theibcdaily Supporting a software-based approach Broadpeak By Ian McMurray
As well as demonstrating how its CDN and streaming server equipment can be used by
content providers and operators to support new business models in today's challenging multiscreen environment, Broadpeak will be showcasing what the company describes as a range of game-changing solutions that can be deployed
in the network, in the home, or on the go. Broadpeak says that it has always supported a software- based approach to video delivery, enabling operators to take advantage of the extensive benefits offered by virtualisation,
such as CDN in the cloud, including decreased hardware costs, resource optimisation, increased flexibility, and so on. Thus, a key demonstration in the network area of Broadpeak's booth will be the company's CDN in a box solution, which it claims dramatically simplifies the deployment of video streaming services by providing operators
with comprehensive multiscreen technologies to support the delivery of live and VoD content to any screen in any format, including HEVC 4K; cloud PVR TV capabilities, enabling operators to offer start-over, time-shifting, and catch-up TV, as well as impulse recording, while only storing content once; high-performance unified streaming servers capable of streaming both RTSP and ABR formats from a single appliance, lowering OPEX; and the umbrellaCDN CDN selection tool, available both as a service and as a product, allowing content providers and operators to always choose the most adapted CDN to deliver their video content. 1.D59
Compact router for format conversion
Ensemble Designs By Michael Burns
A new version of the BrightEye NXT line of compact routers will be making its IBC debut, adding up/down/cross conversion to the feature set. David Wood, Ensemble Designs CEO and chief design engineer, said the BrightEye NXT 430-X offers glitch-free conversion to a common production format, routed to HDMI and SDI destinations. “SD sources can now be up- converted to HD as part of the routing process, as well as cross- converting from one HD format to another,” he explained. “Just select an output format and route whatever SMPTE broadcast resolution source you have to that destination.”
Like other BrightEye NXT
routers, the NXT 430-X features direct cuts, dissolves, router salvos, and clean and quiet switching of HDMI and SDI sources.
The unit, around the size of a paperback book, offers audio level and channel assignment on an input by input basis, a full motion LCD display for switching and a built-in web server for control and set up with any browser-enabled device. 8.B91
