Hive Unified Content Platform
Hive Unified Content Platform
With the latest HTML5 editing tools and the ability to integrate other best of breed toolsets onto the platform, Hive delivers an unparalleled user experience to rapidly process any content for any medium and deliver it whenever, where ever and how ever it is needed.
HIVE has been built on a cloud native distributed services architecture, therefore it is quick to deploy, easy to maintain and cost-effective to provision as workloads change. HIVE can be deployed on premise, in private or public cloud, or as a hybrid mix of all three, enabling ultimate commercial flexibility in the business.
Uniquely for a broadcast production system HIVE has been architected, from the ground up, on data centre class technologies that are not yet capitalised on in the media broadcast industry.
HIVE utilises the advantages of data centre focused and open source technologies (object storage, containers, NoSQL) as opposed to traditional industry configurations of dedicated systems running resources in silos. Thanks to this HIVE leverages internet methodologies to deliver a dynamically scalable, highly scalable and highly available system which can be deployed either on premise or in off-site data centres. See figure 1 to show the architectural differences and key benefits.
Hyper Convergent Node technology enables HIVE to grow (or shrink) with the business performance required. Complex broadcast systems can, for the first time, be designed for a customer’s current level of performance, secure in the knowledge that additional storage and processing can be added at any time in the future whilst the system is live. No down time. No significant project expenditure. No investment in under-utilised assets.
Future expansion of the system into new production areas with different applications is also supported through the use of a common Platform/Toolset architecture with a highly scalable core and industry standard APIs.
With these core technologies embedded in the Network Production platform it is not difficult to see the opportunities:
• Acceleration of the Capex to Opex trends
• Outsource of commodity IT practises – data centres or on premise service
• Centralsiation of multi tenanted platforms
o Either as a SAAS model
o Or a National Broadcaster providing a platform as a service to local
broadcasters
As an omni-media network production system, HIVE, supports the fast and efficient creation of content for Internet, VoD and Broadcast applications. Key integrations with a number of market leading Newsroom Computer Systems and Graphics Platforms ensure that the journalists and operators work within the tools they are used to.
Key customer benefits include:
• Streamlined camera-to-archive production workflow
• Fully Integrated solution to support efficient planning to publish operation
• Internet/mobile first workflows that flex with digital trends
• Common content management platform with the ability to optimize the
repurposing of assets through a single system

VP Pro XR
VP Pro XR
Unreal Engine editor interface
VP Pro XR further builds upon Mo-Sys’ trusted VP Pro software, which integrates directly into the Unreal Engine Editor interface. The complete suite of real-time compositing tools can also record data for camera tracking, lens focus and zoom plus camera setting data for Arri Alexa and Sony Venice cameras.
nDisplay-enabled
VP Pro XR contains the full VP Pro feature set with additional XR tools, new unique capabilities and it is also nDisplay-enabled for large LED screens. Designed to have the minimum system delay possible, typically 6-7 frames, it ensures that XR shoots requiring real talent to interact with mocap AR avatars, are possible.
The Cinematic XR Initiative
Mo-Sys will deliver Cinematic XR capabilities on VP Pro XR. The Cinematic XR initiative focusses on four key aspects of XR: to improve pixel and composite image fidelity, introduce established cinematic shooting techniques to XR, provide seamless interaction between virtual and real elements, and enable hybrid workflows combining final pixel and non-real-time compositing.
Cinematic XR Focus
The first unique capability released for VP Pro XR is the recently announced Cinematic XR Focus, a collaboration with Preston Cinema Systems, the first product to enable seamless interaction between virtual and real worlds. Mo-Sys will release additional unique features aimed at Cinematographers and Focus Pullers over the coming months.
Multi-Cam
Multi-Cam for VP Pro XR orchestrates the 5-6 frame delay between switching two or more cameras and updating the LED volume with the new camera’s correct perspective graphics. Importantly, it allows switching at full resolution up to UHD4K.
VP Pro XR feature set
The Cinematic XR Focus feature is a taste of the kind of developments from Mo-Sys’ Cinematic XR initiative, with two key software releases due in the coming months. Mo-Sys is also working alongside LED tile and processor experts, developing unique Cinematic capabilities, as well as offering a single supplier solution.
