Pixit Media presents data
intelligent 4K workflow
At last month’s BVE 2016, Pixit Media
demonstrated its software-defined storage
as a central repository to provide 4K/UHD
uncompressed playback for a number of
leading applications used in the broadcast
and post-production industries. Google, Net
App, Mellanox, Digital Vision, The Foundry
and Adobe were among the companies
who demonstrated their latest technologies
through the PixStor central NAS storage sys-
tem. For instance, Pixel Media demonstrated
PixStor’s ability to be extended into Google
cloud and store content by using Google
Nearline storage. Visitors were shown how
PixStor is enable to transfer and store data
while maintaining file system intelligence
into the Google Cloud platform.
Glue holding all-IP
video workflow together
Texas-based Stonegate Fellowship has
tapped DigitalGlue to develop and install a
system for transmitting live, broadcast-
quality video/audio to the church’s remote
campus, located 20 miles in the neighbour-
ing city of Odessa. To meet Stonegate’s
requirements, DigitalGlue designed an
IP-based workflow incorporating encoding/
decoding equipment and the VideoFlow
Digital Video Protection (DVP) solution.
At the campus, a Harmonic Ellipse contri
bution encoder receives the camera feeds
and encodes them into MPEG-4 AVC HD
video for distribution over the open Inter-
net. The VideoFlow DVP system guards the
transmission against artifacts, packet loss
and jitter that often result from IP stream-
ing, says DigitalGlue. At the Odessa location,
another VideoFlow DVP system receives the
stream and passes it to a Harmonic ProView
integrated receiver decoder, which decodes
the video and outputs it to SDI for projection
to the audience.
