IHSE MULTIVIEW 4K60 COMBINED 4-INPUT KVM SWITCH AND MULTIVIEWER
IHSE MULTIVIEW 4K60 COMBINED 4-INPUT KVM SWITCH AND MULTIVIEWER
Based on the same switching and video processing used in its renowned KVM and video matrix switches, the 4K Multiviewer offers single-box switching and display selection of up to four single- or dual-head inputs onto two or four 4K displays.
The multiviewer is designed for installations that require simultaneous interactive control of several computers using keyboard and mouse or other HID devices. Typical applications include broadcast installations and production suites.
- Combined 4:2 KVM switch and flexible multiviewer
- 4:2 KVM switch – 4 inputs, 2 outputs
- 4K60Hz 4:4:4 input and output
- Variety of multiviewing operation modes
- Single-and dual-head operation
- Low latency image transmission
- Combined audio and acoustic alarms
- De-embedding to 8-channel digital and stereo analog audio
- 8-channel digital audio via video interface
- Redundant PSU
- Intuitive shared keyboard and mouse control
- GPIO interface
- USB2.0 support
- Blockable USB2.0 transparent and switching
- SNMP monitoring and reporting
- 1U Rack mount
- Integrates into Draco tera infrastructure
Inputs and outputs are handled at 4K resolution with sub-100ms propagation delay, allowing the Multiviewer to meet the demanding requirements of control and incident rooms in all sectors whilst offering instant interactive control from operators. Outputs are suitable for multi-screen workstation applications as well as multi-window large screen videowalls.
Internal image processing provides display splitting (dual and quadscreen modes) as well as adaptable scaling, tiling and picture-in-picture display.Video synchronisation between input and output channels eliminates image flickering and allows images of greater than 8K and above to be handled and displayed.
A single keyboard and mouse can be used to interact with all source images displayed on an output screen. This reduces the desktop clutter and operator confusion associated with multiple keyboards and mice on a desktop. Simply rolling the mouse over a different source activates that control path.
A simple keyboard GUI control, also derived from the Draco tera KVM control methodology enables user source and preset selection.In addition integrated 8-point GPIO module and IP control enable external switching by network or push-button mechanisms as well as LED indication of active status and sources.
As with all IHSE products, the 4K multiviewer incorporates extensive redundancy and backup features and SNMP options to meet every operational reliability scenario.

Ateliere Connect™
Connect is fully provisioned to manage workflows for over 100 platforms, which means every step can be handled within our platform, from ingest to delivery. End-to-end supply chain workflows can be completely automated with AI-driven microservices within Connect.
FrameDNA™ is an AI image recognition tool within Connect that scans multiple versions of content, identifies the frames that are similar and different, and automatically deduplicates the versions, allowing users to consolidate multiple versions into lightweight, nimble IMF packages. By running their content libraries through FrameDNA, companies have been able to reduce their overall storage footprints by an average of 70%. In addition, their titles are now ready to be rendered out in any localized or conformed version quickly and efficiently for global distribution to any platform endpoint.
FrameDNA works in tandem with Deep Analysis, a media probing tool within Connect that rapidly analyzes video files, identifies various elements, including scene changes, color bars, blacks, texted scenes, slates, and essences, and displays them on a graphical timeline view without the user having to watch the file back. For a 54-minute 2K HD ProRes show, this process happens in about 10 mins--that's a time savings of 80%. Deep Analysis can also detect when subtitles overlap with on-screen text. The push to bring legacy libraries into global streaming services requires language/caption support in 26+ versions. All major streaming services immediately reject a show if there’s an issue with caption/texted scene overlap. The quality assurance task once only performed by humans is now fully automated with Deep Analysis. It can detect instances of timed text/texted scene overlap with around 40% more accuracy and 80% faster than manual QC methods.
Connect affords studios and post houses maximum flexibility under their control. Companies can choose the model that works for them--SaaS or PaaS-- and use our modular framework to select only the components of the platform that they need. They don't have to build an entirely new supply chain from scratch to take advantage of the benefits. Connect seamlessly integrates with existing partners and systems via a fully accessible API.

Mediaflex-UMS
The consumption of content continues to accelerate on an upwards path and the need to efficiently acquire, manage and deliver across the entire content supply chain becomes ever more compelling.
To achieve optimum performance we need to consider following a digital transformation strategy that builds on the four pillars of the content supply chain:
- Content – in all its forms, digital and physical, video, audio, graphics, captions, subtitles, scripts and documents, as well as all the associated and additional metadata
- Workflow – Nothing happens to content without direction, as simple or complex as needed. Business processes, logic and decisions must be performed to create cohesive and efficient workflows, taking into account both manual, and the increasing amount of automated tasks
- Resources – Workflows don’t happen without somebody or something managing and orchestrating them, whether it be a person and/or technology
- Analytics – How do you know how well your operation is running and that you’ve implemented efficient working practices? Analytics. Being able to measure and manage the business across the above 3 pillars enables an organisation to automate elasticity in resource utilisation, to understand the metrics of its operation, how efficient they are and ultimately how the bottom line is affected by them.
Undertaking a strategy that creates tight integration of all 4 pillars will deliver significant benefits to the organisation. Maximising the benefit requires the implementation of an agile and flexible content supply chain solution, so implementing a business solution, such as Mediaflex-UMS (Unified Media Services), that embraces all 4 pillars will ultimately lead to a significantly more efficient operation.
From its concept, Mediaflex-UMS has been designed to integrate these 4 pillars and place clients in control of their content, metadata and the business processes across their content supply chains. Equally as important, it was designed to place our customers in control of the Mediaflex-UMS platform.
So often organisations find out the hard way that the implementation of a new system requires them to go back to the vendor and/or rely on technology experts to modify the code to cater for new business processes, or modify existing ones, as the business changes. This often leads to the question “Do I build or buy?”.
With Mediaflex-UMS you get the best of both worlds: buying a system that allows authorised personnel to use the tool-sets built into the system to design, modify and configure it to meet the ever-changing demands of the business as the consumption of media continues to change.
Carrick-Flow
Orchestration is now resource aware
Create file based workflows and let your tools work together. Make sure your resource will stay focus on priorities. Scale them only when dead lines get too close for your nerves.
Access a powerful orchestration tool whose cost is adapted to your activity :
Carrick-Flow orchestration tool allows companies to optimize and rationalize the handling (transform, check, move, ...) and storage of video files. It allows them to fully operate the company's existing infrastructures by using all types of paid or open-source products.
Without modifying user workflows, Carrick-Flow can dynamically integrate and bring to your door any cloud resource and its infinite potential while controlling costs and uses.
For a comprehensive processing, specific features include virtual farms of heterogenous resources, peak activity detection and anticipation, fine task prioritization management and update and smooth support and error recovery modules.
A complementary specific module called Carrick-Stor will allow companies to enhance their storage policies by using multiple storage as a unified cross-tier storage ecosystem. Policies can mix multi-site systems, on prem' and cloud storage and business-related rules.
Local, cloud and hybrid workflows : Cloud capabilities offer many opportunities and Carrick-Flow was designed for these. Managing activity peak is also one of the key functionalities. A dedicated module allows the detection of future overloads based on deadlines and estimated processing times. Cloud resources can be dynamically activated and will handle some of the tasks without modifying user workflows. Cloud ressources are then automatically disactivated once peak activity is passed.
Virtual farms : If you host heterogeneous dedicated equipment such as several transcoding farms with different brands or version, Carrick-Flow allows pooling and sharing so you can gradually eliminate the silos. Processing more with less resources is one of the key objectives of Carrick-Flow! Mutualizing resources is a worthy goal provided that each user can be guaranteed the resources he needs to manage his emergencies. Carrick-Flow is equipped with a priority engine able to ensure that at all times a launched task is the one with highest priority. To share ressources, you have to adapt to all the players. Carrick-Flow exposes open interfaces at all levels so that each tool can be interfaced at the best level regarding its operationnal process.
Storage: The Carrick-Store module provides an abstraction layer for archiving and unarchiving processes. It provides a unified repository of the storage content within the enterprise of all local and cloud storage. As if an HSM would have become matrix, Carrick-StoR handles files securing, manage their life cycle and their integrity across multiple heterogeneous storage systems. Archiving and redundancy policies may be related to the intrinsic characteristics of the files or be linked with customer-specific editorial metadata. Based on the processing capabilities of Carrick-Flow, it allows limitless indexing and migrating of storage while preserving the bandwidth necessary for the business to go on.
Independancy: Carrick-Flow claims its independence from MAM suppliers and from media manipulation tools: storage, transcoders, transfer… But independence is not an end in itself. It creates value only if it brings real freedom! Carrick-Flow offers you teh freedom: - To fully integrate and exploit the existing resource base - To change tools, to let cohabit different generations of tools, - To try, compare and finally change again…
Scalability: Carrick-Flow has been designed to be virtually insensitive to load peaks. Media manipulation infrastructure may not deal fast enough with everything that needs to be done, but Carrick-Flow will not be affected. It continues to store and unstack the orders, always executing the ones with most priority, without saturating the resources, without being affected by the volume to be processed... In the event of a major infrastructure outage, Carrick-Flow resumes where it stopped, with no loss of performance due to the unusual number of tasks or workflows to relaunch. All Carrick-Flow components are designed to allow easy load distribution without a single SPOF.
SaaS billing: With Carrick-Flow there is no upfront license to buy: you pay when you use it. The subscription is based on the components of your ecosystem. No license and no commitment on volumes. Your needs increase, your costs follow, your needs decrease, your costs adapt.
Media Portal
TMD’s Media Portal has been developed to provide a standardised method of receiving content. It is designed to make it simpler for media organisations to manage the process of receiving content, along with making it easier and more efficient for studios and third-party collaborators to deliver content to them. Media Portal provides an intuitive solution to transfer media content, with no technical knowledge required. This is preferable to many other methods of transferring content, where there may be limitations on file sizes and formats as well as security challenges.
With Mediaflex Media Portal, all that is required is for suppliers to access the web address of the organisation’s portal, which could be on the public internet. Once logged in the user is immediately presented with what media content they need to transfer to the Mediaflex platform. The first screen the user sees is a hierarchical list of media content grouped by Series, Season, Episode and Versions, all ordered by deadline date.
Once uploaded, the video content then goes through an initial set of pre-configured ingest technical QC processes, making it easy to see which files have been successfully uploaded, passed the initial technical checks and are ready to send onto the next stages of the content supply chain processes. Any number of users can upload at the same time from different user accounts located across multiple locations around the world. Configurable metadata fields are completed by the user at the same time, enabling discoverability and searchability of the content once it is enters Mediaflex as a media item.
Media Portal includes comprehensive logging of events including capturing the details of all files uploaded, sent and deleted. The interface is configurable for each media organisation, and intuitively provides support information and support availability based on the location of the user.

The Mediaflex Video Browser is an intuitive web-based UI, enabling the viewing of all Parliamentary sessions in legislature chambers and meeting rooms, as well as recordings from studios and external locations. Where recordings are from the chambers, during and after the sessions, senators and senate aides and any authorised personnel can view the recordings and access any section of the clips in near real-time as they are being recorded. Selected clips can be added to a workflow, which makes the clip recordings available to senators and staff for use in their parliamentary duties.
The Video Browser is configurable for access rights. It can be set to only be accessed via a login screen from an authorised network, so it is only available to approved users, or set to have open access if desired.
Recorded content is searchable by configurable criteria, including date, what is currently being recorded, by location, and by keyword (the content of each recorded session). All sessions are recorded to a preservation format and a browse format, with the browse format being configurable including live frame-accurate HLS with closed captions. A thumbnail of the recording and the close captions can also be viewed. The Video Browser reads the captions with corresponding timecodes from the database and/or a file. It supports captions in any language, and in any number of languages.
A recording may be many hours long. Video Browser enables the user to select a single clip from the recording, several short clips as well as single or multiple clips from multiple recordings. The user is the able to see the selected clips in a timeline, which can then be added to a workflow.

ILLUMINATOR
Information is your greatest asset. ILLUMINATOR gives access to the key data that is vital to your business performance, presented in a way that is easy to visualise and interpret. Users access data through a client customisable control layer, known as a workspace, which sits on top of the core ILLUMINATOR framework. This allows the software to be tailored to exact client’s needs. The workspace provides users access to any data, whether mastered within ILLUMINATOR’S extensible database, or resident externally in other systems.
ILLUMINATOR allows users to view and manage data from legacy or difficult to maintain datasets, in a single environment. It can consume data in many formats reducing the need for multiple, disparate ‘data islands’ often constructed in spreadsheets, Access or bespoke SQL database solutions.
Work Together
In addition to the user defined Workspaces, the ILLUMINATOR core framework facilitates pre-built or custom functional module plugin capability. Existing modules can be adapted, or new and specially tailored modules can be created with Graphical Data’s support, to ensure you get the solution you need. These functional modules are designed to enhance the power of ILLUMINATOR, improving how users view and work with their data, on a daily basis.
All parts of the business can contribute; suppliers, contractors and customers can also engage if required. Each user has their part to play and every team member's input contributes to overall success. ILLUMINATOR’s communication features allow quick, consistent input and feedback to and from all.
Complete Integration
ILLUMINATOR allows multiple processes to come together in a single integrated workflow tool. These can include processes managed in other systems and if unified with Graphical Data’s RESOLVE software - exceptional end to end project performance improvements can be realised. ILLUMINATOR and its comprehensive toolkit are designed to manage large volumes of complex data. This can include systems procured from scratch, the re-structuring of existing databases, or the unification of data mastered elsewhere in multiple discrete repositories to provide a ‘single view of the truth’, ILLUMINATOR can deliver it all. ILLUMINATOR facilitates exceptional levels of software configuration to meet unique/specific data management requirements but can also realise these very rapidly.
Asset management databases and configuration management databases are numerous. However, ILLUMINATOR’s power is that in addition to these standard functions, it can be configured to be capable of much more. This includes integration of very unique data sets not normally managed in broad enterprise level applications.
