Broadcast
Stations and networks are looking to achieve both greater efficiency in producing news and sports and a greater capacity for distributing this content immediately to media consumers via the Web and mobile devices in addition to traditional broadcast channels. To succeed in this highly competitive world of broadcast production, journalists and editors require the best production tools the industry has to offer. They also need reliable and flexible ingest and production servers. The challenge is to offer timely news content to viewers over all relevant distribution platforms. To overcome this challenge, broadcasters need a platform that automates the movement of content through the news production workflow, makes media readily accessible to the entire production staff, and accelerates the repurposing of media for alternative devices.

Post facilities are finding that with the new compressed production formats from Apple (ProRes422) and Avid (DNxHD) that uncompressed is no longer the holy grail it once was. At the same time, more projects budgets are Final Cut Pro sized. Combine this with the need to reduce infrastructure costs and increase efficiencies and it seems like the perfect time for a shared edit storage solution that can be leveraged across both Avid and Apple edit rooms. And with the cost of 10Gig Ethernet dropping, the time is right to move to a much more manageable and scalable clustered 10GigE solution and away from a complex and limited SAN solution.
The Omneon storage and processing platform provides centralized storage that can easily scale to meet the bandwidth and capacity requirements of mixed edit environments. The platform also empowers editors to share content and leverage sequences between Apple and Avid edit systems. While the Omneon platform provides robust ingest of a wide range of compressed video formats, facilities also can work with standard Avid, Apple, or third-party ingest tools. Transcoding and Web streaming applications also can employ the Omneon platform as central storage, further streamlining the storage topology.
