theibcdaily Opinion The right preservation strategy
You continue to produce great content, and LTO will ensure it will be remembered says Laura Loredo, product marketing manager, nearline storage, Hewlett Packard, and Shawn Brume, business line manager, data protection and retention, IBM, the LTO Program There are countless
components that go into any production. Media and entertainment professionals have to plan ahead to have the right technology, equipment and resources that will help them produce the best project possible. The post production piece can be just as important as the others, ensuring that the hard work is protected. In that vein, having the right strategy in place to protect and preserve those projects is essential. Many are turning to LTO tape with Linear Tape File System (LTFS) to help satisfy not only technological requirements, but also specific
budget requests. For content creators, every piece of content that gets created is extremely important. They simply can’t run the risk of losing anything. Having a storage medium that they can trust is just as important as the equipment they use to create the content. LTO tape with LTFS is making storage decisions easy, since accessing files is as easy as dragging and dropping the data selected, similar to a removable USB flash or external disk drive. How does it work? Using a media partitioning system, data is stored on the tape creating an index file system, allowing

Southern Germany, Austria and Switzerland are targets for Wellen+Noethen’s newly opened office in Unterfoehring near Munich. Wellen+Noethen general
for easy access to the files stored on the main 'content' portion of the tape. What this means is that a producer can use LTO tape – which is much less expensive than solid state drives or video tape and more reliable than external hard drives – to offload content that was captured during filming or to archive older content that production firms want to keep around 'just in case.'
Having a storage medium for
professionals that saves both time and money is extremely rare. When HD videotape was first released, producers were caught losing time transferring content from their video tape to
their editing tools. It would take just as long to transfer as it did to shoot. The archived version required a lot of space, time and money to store. The switch to digital gave content producers an affordable way to capture footage on memory cards and offload the content to an LTO tape. Hours of content on one memory card could be transferred to LTO tape in a fraction of the time. Thanks to our newest generation of LTO technology (LTO-6 tape) producers can store more than 3TB of (uncompressed) content in a single cartridge, saving space that would be taken up
by hundreds of videotapes. Every year, we look forward to connecting with media and entertainment professionals at IBC. If you are looking to simplify your storage solution while reducing costs, come by the LTO booth at IBC. The team can show you how LTO tape and LTFS can help store your large files on a relatively inexpensive and very reliable medium, all while maintaining long-term protection for your archived content. You continue to produce
great content, and LTO will continue to make sure it always will be remembered. 9.B25

Pushing the limits of style and performance ruwido
By Ian McMurray
Demonstrating its portfolio of remote control solutions, which the company says push the limits of style and performance and are powerful enough to meet the requirements of today’s fast-changing entertainment industry, is ruwido.
ruwido says it is working to transform the way in which users interact with television and how they feel about their viewing experience. Visitors to ruwido’s booth are seeing
demonstrations of the company’s range of solutions, including the ‘Bubble’ interaction mechanism ecosystem, launched earlier this year. The new solution enables what ruwido describes as exciting TV experiences for consumers by implementing the company’s ‘3D input sphere’ and latest advanced user interface. The freely movable ‘3D input
sphere’ and the brushed aluminium finish form the essence of the solution’s design ethos. The slim body of the remote control is crafted from one solid piece of material, enclosing the ‘3D
input sphere’ as the primary method of scrolling. Digital pushing of buttons is replaced by an analogue, and what ruwido believes is a more natural way to move through large VoD libraries and menus. According to the company, ruwido is committed to ensure that the remote control evolves alongside today’s swiftly changing TV landscape, meeting consumer needs for improved TV interaction, pointing out that its latest innovations are aimed at consumers who are faced with an ever-expanding choice of content. 1.F68
