Harris Broadcast to Showcase
Latest Integrated Solutions at BroadcastAsia2013
Harris Broadcast is showcasing an array of its latest
integrated broadcast solutions at BroadcastAsia2013. The
demonstrations will focus on the key issues facing
broadcasters today: using cost-effective technology
throughout the content lifecycle to generate new revenue
streams in traditional and emerging business models.
“BroadcastAsia remains the premier trade show to
interface with our customers from throughout the
Asia-Pacific region,” said Richard Scott, senior vice
president, global sales and services at Harris
Broadcast. “We look forward to formally unveiling our
new brand to the region at this show, along with our
latest products and technology developments. This show
provides us with a great opportunity not only to meet
existing customers and new prospects, but also explore
new ideas, and gather market intelligence on local
trends that will help us drive technological
developments and meet the changing needs of this region
and beyond.”
The acceleration of IP connectivity makes the new Harris
Broadcast Platinum™ IP3 router the centerpiece of its
display. Being shown in the Asia-Pacific region for the
first time, this new iteration of the world-renowned
Platinum router series is unique in offering triple-path
routing, with unique paths for audio, video and other
services including IP data in the same frame. It is
ideal paired with the popular Selenio™ media convergence
platform, which combines traditional baseband video and
audio processing, compression and IP networking features
in a single, space-saving 3U frame. The Platinum IP3
router will be demonstrated with the latest Harris
Broadcast Magellan™ control panels.
The display will also focus on the Versio™ integrated
channel playout solution, Harris Broadcast’s unique
approach to channel-in-a-box. Versio takes key elements
of Harris Broadcast’s proven automation, server,
graphics and branding technology and implements them in
a highly resilient 1U box. New playout features and
improved ease of use that give broadcasters more freedom
and flexibility to manage and grow single- and
multi-channel operations. Updates include HD/SD
simulcast, playlist control, and enhanced graphics
management, making Versio the ideal choice for rapid
start-up operations, mixed environments of premium and
thematic channels, and disaster recovery centers.
Harris Broadcast will also emphasize the significance of
file-based workflows in today’s broadcast facilities
with its latest NEXIO Volt™ server, addressing the need
for higher channel counts in a compact form factor.
Harris Broadcast will demonstrate the software-centric
NEXIO Volt in conjunction with the NEXIO Farad™ online
storage system, which provides central resources for
complex ingest and playout networks. The file-based
workflow demonstration will also include the Harris
Broadcast QuiC™ software-based quality control solution
for file analysis.
On display for the first time at BroadcastAsia is the
Harris Broadcast Inscriber® G8 graphics production
system. Built for high-end graphics creation, the
Inscriber G8 provides uncompressed imagery and
unprecedented graphics and animation capabilities. It
offers real-time creation and execution of the
high-caliber, complex 3D graphics and animations that
today’s live news, sports and special events demand.
The last stage in the content lifecycle is delivery to
the consumer, an area where Harris Broadcast has a long
and strong reputation. For conventional transmission
requirements the Broadcast Asia demonstration includes
latest Flexiva™ and Maxiva™ air-cooled solid-state
transmitters. Each incorporates the latest remarkable
advances in high-power technology, merging world-class
performance with unprecedented energy efficiency,
slashing the total cost of ownership and ensuring high
reliability. Both Maxiva, meeting all current digital
television standards, and Flexiva, serving analog FM and
digital radio, feature software-defined exciters to
support changing broadcast requirements.
With IP increasingly the transport fabric for
contribution and distribution links, including services
to transmitter sites, Harris Broadcast will demonstrate
its growing IP Link codec family for radio broadcasters.
IP Link codecs offer support for multiple audio formats,
exceptional streaming bandwidth, and elimination of
service interruptions through delivery of multiple
identical streams. The new IP Link 200 model adds a
second bidirectional stereo input for multi-channel
capability. |
