Small channel controller sets sail
Pebble Beach Systems By Michael Burns
IBC is the European launch site for Marina Lite, optimised for small scale systems of up to four channels.
Based on the company's
flagship automation platform which currently controls in excess of 300 channels, Marina Lite benefits from Marina's configurable control layer. Each configuration is available with fault tolerant options, such as 1+1 redundancy with fully automatic changeover. Marina Lite has drivers for
over 20 third party devices, and interfaces to many popular traffic systems. Automatic caching from nearline storage to the playout devices is also provided. Systems can be upgraded from 1 to 4 channels, and if the number of devices to be
controlled should grow, or the channel count needs to increase, the entire system can be upgraded to the full Marina enterprise solution. “Marina Lite delivers world class automation at an affordable price to broadcasters with low channel counts,” said managing director, Peter Hajittofi. “Based on the proven and resilient 64- bit client-server architecture of our enterprise level Marina automation platform, Marina Lite is capable of controlling traditional legacy products as well as emerging solutions within video, IT and hybrid infrastructures. One of its major strengths is the highly intelligent and flexible playlist, which has the ability to control highly reactive channels with frequent late scheduling changes.” 8.C71
At a good clip: Clipster can generate IMF packages up to 4K
On a 4K IBC mission Rohde & Schwarz By Carolyn Giardina
4K is very much the IBC focus of Rohde & Schwarz. Many of its products are
already in operation, for instance the company reported that its AVHE100 headend was used by South Korea broadcast operator KBS to broadcast the FIFA World Cup live in 4K. The BMM-810 multiviewer and content monitoring system from Rohde
& Schwarz subsidiary GMIT were used to monitor the broadcast. KBS also uses terrestrial Rohde & Schwarz transmitters to broadcast 4K, along with Rohde & Schwarz T&M equipment.
Subsidiary Rohde & Schwarz DVS is at IBC with its Clipster mastering station, which processes 4K data in realtime. It supports mezzanine formats such as AS-02 and AS-11 and can generate interoperable master format (IMF) packages up to 4K. It’s also capable of creating Dolby Atmos DCPs.
The company’s exhibit includes SpycerBox Cell, which can store data for 4K or even 8K production. Thanks to the web-based SAN Remo management software, the devices can be configured in clusters, with 36 TB of storage and a maximum data throughput of 3 Gbyte/s per unit.
Rohde & Schwarz is also demonstrating its Tx9 transmitter generation, and new features for its T&M equipment to test 4K devices. 7.E25
