As the demand for high definition television
increases, broadcasters are increasingly
looking for cost-effective and flexible
approaches to HD ingest, production and
playout. Besides the format, bit rate, and
resolution choices to consider, broadcasters
must also leverage their technology
purchases to best balance between their
existing equipment and their long-term HD
strategy.
Omneon has combined its broadcast know-how and IT expertise to deliver media servers that meet
these demanding requirements. Omneon Spectrum™ media servers provide broadcasters with support for all
major HD formats and can adapt and scale to meet the evolving HD landscape.
MediaPort 5320 Series
The Omneon MediaPort 5320 is a family of powerful HD MPEG-2 encode/decode devices supplying two channels of play/record per module, with up to two modules per enclosure. Supporting a wide range of bit rates, the MediaPort 5320 offers broadcasters maximum ability to balance picture quality and storage utilization. The MediaPort 5200 provides higher channel density and a far lower cost per channel than standalone HD encoders, and includes HD playback capbility as well. Like all MediaPorts, it integrates easily into both new and existing Omneon Spectrum™ SD and HD systems without requiring changes to other system components, simplifying deployment and operation.
MediaPort 5500 Series
The Omneon MediaPort 5500 provides flexible HD and SD MPEG-2 playback with full support for mixed-mode playlists. Offering two or four channels independently configurable for HD or SD operation, the 5500 up- or down-converts the playlist material as needed for the selected output format, and adjusts the resulting picture according to recorded AFD or aspect-ratio control information. Audio support includes both embedded (16 channels) and AES (4 channels), and the units provide full reproduction of recorded ancillary data (VANC or VBI) as needed.
MediaPort 5620 Series
The Omneon MediaPort 5620 enhances and simplifies AVC-Intra workflows with up to four play/record channels, offering a choice of either Class 50 or Class 100 support per channel. Material recorded is delivered in MXF Op1a compliant wrappers, improving interoperability. The products support 16 channels of embedded or 4 channels of AES audio per video channel, and full capture/playback of VANC.
MediaPort 6101 and 6321
The Omneon 6101 and 6321 MediaPorts provide expanded support for production workflows that use the popular DVCPRO HD encoding method. Offering 1 (6101) or 2 (6321) play/record channels, these units can eliminate cumbersome transcode steps, delivering edit-friendly material wrapped in industry-standard QuickTime or MXF. The 6321 additionally supports the SD DV variants (DV, DVCPRO, and DVCPRO 50), with each of its two channels independently configurable. Both products provide up to 8 channels of embedded audio, and full capture/playback of ancillary data (VANC or VBI as appropriate).
 MediaPort 4010 Ingest Module
The MediaPort 4010 provides an integrated ingest solution for HD MPEG content that simplifies workflow and reduces time to air. By combining MPEG transport stream ingest and de-multiplexing in a single unit, the Omneon MediaPort 4010 allow you move directly to a file-based workflow. It supports direct ingest of ASI streams via backhaul feeds up to 100 Mbps.
