The Content Fabric is a single backend source for master asset servicing including media, metadata and code, with inherent linking of components, re-use, rights, and versioning. Streaming and file based video presentation are delivered just in time, globally, from the source objects to consumer with ultra-low latency. There are no file copies and the content security does not trust the infrastructure (trust less).

Tier 1 Hollywood Studios, Broadcasters and new mobile streaming platforms use the Fabric for radically simple, fast, and inexpensive supply chains.
BHV Broadcast streamGear
The streamGear openGear® IP to SDI card range features powerful quad core processing and superfast graphics capability. This flexible platform can support broadcast, graphics or streaming applications by serving as a hardware engine or a standalone receiver, and can be stacked to provide 20 channels of the same power in just 2U of rack space.
Featuring a comprehensive set of connectivity options including Gigabit Ethernet, CANbus, SDI & HDMI output (3G, HD, SD), USB, LTC and analogue video, these cards have the capability to host applications at the boundary of IP and conventional video. A format/standards converter is included to ensure all video formats from SD PAL/NTSC through to 3G (1920 x 1080p59.94) are supported.
Available in Android Oreo and Yocto/Debian/Ubuntu/Boot2QT Linux distributions, the cards include an intelligently-engineered feature set straight out of the box. The open-architecture platform allows hardware interfaces to be directly customised for maximum security and flexibility. The industry standard iMX6 processor, (available in Dual or Quad core with speeds from 800 MHz to 1.2 GHz) provides unrivalled processing capability in a small and low power form factor. A Vivante GC2000 2D and 3D accelerated graphics processing unit is OpenGL compliant, enabling reliable delivery of rich and complex graphics.
Two versions of the card are launching at IBC: an operator-friendly Android version that allows app developers with no broadcast or video experience to build data-driven and IP streaming applications with broadcast compliant video output, and a Linux variant that provides a platform for a high-performance video and graphics OEM appliance.
Based on an existing, successful field-tested design, these cards allow high density integration and support for the openGear Dashboard management suite. Both Legacy and the latest OG3-FR frames are supported as is SERDES backplane Ethernet, utilising the internal openGear Frame Ethernet switch option. This allows 20 cards to utilise just one Ethernet switch port.
Because of the plethora of camera and smartphone streaming video contribution requirements, the capability to make this an SDI source in conventional video environments has been limited and expensive. With broadcast functionality becoming more and more IP-connected, the need for greater local processing and rendering capability is growing. This efficient, elegant and cost-effective solution serves as a powerful tablet device with SDI output.
Applications include:
· IP contribution from Smartphone, tablet, streaming camera
· Video wall and studio backdrop driver
· Weather maps and other still or animated data driven video application.
Non-video uses include:
· In rack monitoring gateway for openGear Dashboard
· Bi-directional IP to CANbus gateway
· Linear timecode to IP domain gateway
