theibcdaily It’s time for FIMS Cube-Tec By Ian McMurray
After succeeding in crucial tests, the time is right for real product
integration according to exhibitor Cube-Tec.
Encapsulated into FIMS — the Framework for Interoperable Media Services —inter-company workflows are made easy, the company says, even with
specialised modules for format conversion, QC, automatic MXF file repair or proxy file generation. In relation to FIMS, CubeTec claims that Cube Workflow is especially flexible; it is able to orchestrate FIMS workflows. In addition, Cube Workflow QC sub-system can be called as a FIMS service by MAM systems.
At the 2014 FKTG
Symposium in Cologne in May, IBM, Rohde & Schwarz, Cube- Tec and Dimetis demonstrated for the first time in a live situation how to implement flexible media production and distribution. The live demo showcased a workflow orchestrated by IBM’s AREMA and Dimetis’ BOSS File Transfer Manager, calling Cube-
Tec QC functions as FIMS services. In another sub- process, Cube Workflow itself calls the VENICE Media Hub from Rohde & Schwarz/DVS as a FIMS service to run format conversions. FIMS is a royalty-free, open, easily scalable media technology, providing standardised interfaces for the automation of media processes. The open FIMS standardisation process is administered by EBU and AMWA (Advanced Media Workflow Association) and has broad support from the industry and SMPTE. Leading media business systems already use FIMS today. 5.C41
Sports server - just for reference
LGZ Broadcasting Tech
By David Fox
A new Reference System server has been developed by LGZ especially for sports leagues and horse racing to allow them to instantly review events, make decisions about what is happening live, while the server is still recording.
The LGZ REF eight-channel (or
four-channel) Linux-based loop- recording server can record eight HD-SDI feeds simultaneously and has a simple interface. “The systems perhaps most
interesting feature is its web interface, which allows people to connect remotely to it and choose clips to export to destinations of their choice,” said LGZ CEO, Joachim Koitsalu. Customers can easily export specific clips or whole chunks of the production to quickly share them with colleagues after the events. “We have systems in Switzerland and Finland and have two large ice hockey leagues that are now considering our product,” he added. It comes with an integrated multiviewer where timecode and cue points are graphically represented. It can have from four to 16 hours of loop recording, depending on size of the SSD drives.
LGZ launched its €2,100 USB
Recorder at IBC2013, and has since sold some 200. It recently added QuickTime support for Mac, simplified the interface, and has given users the ability to add a logo/watermark for branding or security to any files that are created. There is also a version that includes Blackmagic Design’s Decklink Studio, to allow it to record analogue signals. 11.E41a
