Omneon for Content Repurposing
With the increasing adoption of file-based workflows, the automatic verification and format conversion of content becomes more and more essential. Traditionally, baseband transfer has been used to move content between device types. This method offered the opportunity to review media in real time and supported any device, but it tied up both a playback device and a record device, and required the dedicated time of an operator or automation system.
Today's general purpose processors are capable of performing the complex calculations necessary to inspect, verify, and convert media files many times faster than play speed. The Omneon media storage and processing platform includes a multi-processor application environment and a multi-path communications network to supercharge these tasks in a way that is not available in any other environment.

Broadcast
The broadcast news workflow no longer ends with the newscast. To maximize their media presence and improve their bottom line, broadcasters are repurposing news and other content to multiple web and phone delivery platforms. Putting further pressure on the production, news segments are often posted online before they appear on-air. In these fast-paced broadcast environments, baseband video quality verification and transcoding processes are frequently too slow and too manually intensive.
By combining high-bandwidth storage and a high-performance multi-CPU grid architecture into one media storage and processing platform, Omneon presents a unique solution to today's repurposing workflow needs. The platform can perform many file-based quality verification processes simultaneously and transcode content many times faster than real time without burdening the house network or adding digital islands. Content is verified, transcoded and re-verified in place on the Omneon media and processing platform.
Content Quality Verification:
File-based content verification now allows broadcasters to automatically check for a broad range of video standards and quality attributes without incurring the time or potential errors of a manual process. A file stored in the Omneon platform can be automatically checked for blockiness, black or repeated frames, pixelation, oversaturation, and many more errors that can be introduced at almost any stage of content development.
Transcoding & Rewrapping:
Another outgrowth of web and phone delivery platforms is the need to transcode between video codecs or rewrap between media file formats to meet delivery network requirements. The Omneon ProXchange grid-powered transcoding engine handles these conversions automatically and far faster than alternative solutions that rely on separate appliances. That said, the Omneon platform is also compatible with virtually every brand of stand-alone transcoding solution with direct backplane integration that optimizes access to stored content and minimizes traffic on the house network.
Optimized WAN distribution:
The Omneon ProCast content delivery system accelerates, prioritizes, manages, and monitors WAN transfers. Fully integrated into the Omneon media storage and processing platform, ProCast uses either watch-folder or rules-based operations to insure the right content is delivered to the right destination when it's needed.
Corporate
Corporate video production departments now have multiple deliverables. The days of being finished when the edit is exported are over. Today corporations are delivering sales, promotional and training material over private television channels, intranets, the Internet and even mobile delivery platforms. Scheduled channels are combined with scheduled streaming media and video-on-demand. And of course, each of these delivery platforms requires its own video format. To make matters worse, producers tend to perfect their edits until the last minute leaving precious little time for content repurposing and delivery.
