B Scott Cassell, director, Solution Architecture, EMC² Isilon Storage Division takes us on a workflow transformation journey in the M&E sector
The Media and Entertainment (M&E) industry advancements anticipated over the next 10 years will be nothing less than astonishing. As media organisations look to streamline current operations and enable new revenue, workflow efficiency will become a critical need and the M&E vendor community must lead the way in pioneering these efficiencies. It is resoundingly clear that the M&E industry will continue doing many of the same activities it has done for over a decade; creating, processing and delivering great digital content. However, the consumer’s appetite for digital video choices and experience flexibility is changing dramatically. It is in satisfying
that appetite where the vendors need to help pave the way for the future not only for the consumer, but also for the content owners and others in the content handling ecosystem.
The M&E industry is not immune from the need to do more with the same or often more with less. In many cases, the objective is to move content to the finish line faster than ever before. This has become exponentially challenging due in part to increasing resolution as well as the sheer volume of content. Finding ways to bypass unnecessary steps in the assembly line of content processing is one of the most efficient and cost-effective
ways to save time and reduce cost.
One of the most time- consuming workflow congestions points is when media assets complete one stage and are moved so they can be processed by another stage. This moving and queuing methodology causes significant processing delays. Clearly, the larger the asset or more numerous, the longer it takes to move the assets from one storage location to another and consequently, more time to final results.

360º all-round stitch up VideoStitch By David Fox
VideoStitch is a Paris-based start up specialising in 360º video products and has developed post production software to stitch videos together from several GoPro cameras.
Its latest product is
VideoStitch Live, a realtime version that promises to give users “a great new out-of-body VR experience.”
It combines six GoPro
streams into a fully spherical video stream. This content is then rendered through a media server to be viewed using an Oculus Rift virtual reality headset or a tablet, and is claimed to be
IP error corrector unveiled DVEO By Will Strauss
A new Forward Error Correction (FEC) device that catches and corrects bit errors in internet transmissions is being debuted at IBC by the broadcast division
of Computer Modules. DVEO’s FEC Box IP IP has been devised to increase the reliability of UDP or RTP IP streams over lossy network transports, and alleviate jitter and packet loss introduced on Wi-Fi, satellite, microwave, cellular, internet and other networks sensitive to noise.

The system can work with more professional cameras, but VideoStitch chose the GoPro as it meant the resulting package could be compact and inexpensive. VideoStitch Live is claimed to

The companies are illustrating the synergy between MPP's eSuite technology and deltatre’s advanced video platform, Diva, in the modern multi- platform sporting world. Diva’s combination of data, video and social integration enables fans to connect and

Suitable applications for the technology include sport (including immersive action from the competitor’s point of view), training videos, attending a concert from the best seat, or tourism videos that allow users
customers to stream video or data with reliable delivery. It can also provide SMPTE 2022 based FEC compatibility to devices that don't support it." When using FEC, extra data, called checksum packets, is added to the outgoing video stream so that errors can be corrected at the

consolidated workflows leveraging an extensible scale- out storage platform is the way of the future.
The economics of the entire industry are changing. Saving costs through increased operational efficiency is the primary topic with our global partners and customer. Consolidation of workflows into streamlined and collaborative environments allows for radical changes in cost structures and speed to market. The vendor community must take a hard look at workflows end-to-end to help the M&E industry generate and grow profitability, both in the near-term and as technology evolves. 7.H10
