For cable companies, multiple service operators (MSOs), telcos and content providers who need a cost efficient, reliable solution for massively scalable video storage and recording that exceeds stringent performance requirements, the MediaKind Video Storage and Processing Platform (VSPP) is the only field proven, large scale software-based solution that provides resiliency, very high throughput, and virtually hands-off maintenance. This platform is highly optimized to minimize hardware footprint and provide the best possible TCO.

Supported use cases

Cloud DVR

Cloud based DVR applications enable service providers to offer a DVR service without the need todeploy or upgrade to expensive DVR boxes at the subscriber site. By locating the storage and streaming at the network operation center and running an RS-DVR client software at the subscriber site, operators can offer a full DVR service without the need of hardware upgrades at the subscriber.

Dynamic origin server

The origin server is a scale out media storage system that can also perform content transformation, and streaming. The origin ingests MPEG-TS CBR and ABR, and transforms them on-the-fly to RTSP and different OTT formats, thus eliminating the need to store multiple formats.

VSPP tiered architecture

Supports different tiers to address specific streaming patterns as well as content popularity.

Edge pumps

With an ongoing transformation to the full-blown Media Edge for the legacy and OTT delivery.

Rohde & Schwarz presents its R&S SpycerPAM production asset management hall 7, booth B21. The software extension of the R&S SpycerNode storage platform simplifies project management and integration of a multitude of video processing tools. This makes workflows more efficient, especially for post production companies.

 

Managing access rights, proxy administration and avoiding multiple storage of assets are just a few of the challenges that complex film projects may face. The R&S SpycerPAM project asset management solution addresses these issues and significantly simplifies project handling. It offers functions such as asset management, rights management, metadata management and proxy generation as well as many features that simplify collaboration, allowing users to focus on being creative.

 

R&S SpycerPAM supports numerous video processing tools, including Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects, Final Cut Pro, Avid Pro Tools and Avid Media Composer. R&S SpycerPAM seamlessly integrates the tools and creates its own "project mounts" for project management on R&S SpycerNode. Users can be assigned different access rights and see only assets and projects for which they have permission. Previewable proxies are generated automatically for the assets used, regardless of type – videos, complex Photoshop files, etc. Previews can be accessed with a single click. Smart mirror mechanisms prevent redundant storage of assets from various projects in R&S SpycerNode memory and sustainably reduce the storage capacity needed. In addition, rough cuts can be created quickly with the integrated web-based Preditor and then linked in the user's preferred processing tool.

 

The R&S SpycerNode storage solution was unveiled at IBC 2018. It represents a new and radically different approach to a wide variety of requirements for media file storage solutions. R&S SpycerNode features high availability, scalability and redundancy.
