Next-Gen Solutions From Imagine Communications

Imagine Communications is to showcase solutions from its SDI and next-gen IP portfolio, at the NAB Content and Communiations World (CCW) conference and exhibition, New York, 11–12 November. The company will also deliver a presentation on the transition of media operations to generic computing environments at the event.

Imagine Communications will demonstrate solutions that bridge the SDI and next-gen domains to help enable media companies to gradually move operations to IP-based environments at their own pace and without stranding existing investments in baseband technologies.

At the booth (#1226), visitors can see demonstrations of:

• Future-proof Integrated Playout – The Versio 100% software-based integrated playout solution enables media companies to accelerate the launch of new services, ensure business continuity, reduce infrastructure costs and virtualize master control. Versio supports any-to-any transport, compressed or uncompressed IP and is cloud-deployable.

• Software-Based File-to-File Transcoding – Based on the Zenium workflow manager, SelenioFlex File delivers scalability and workflow design flexibility for applications from post production to multiscreen distribution. The latest release of SelenioFlex File includes support for Apple ProRes, HEVC UHD Main 10 and Interoperable Master Format (IMF) file-based transcoding to enable UHD on-demand workflows.

Also at CCW 2015, John Mailhot, CTO for infrastructure and networking at Imagine Communications, will deliver a presentation entitled Television Production Connectivity using COTS IT Infrastructure. The presentation, scheduled for 11 November at 10.30am, explores the potential of the media industry to harness the scale, steady advancements and capabilities of the IT industry to transform video production practices.

Ramnik Kamo, Chief Marketing Officer, Imagine Communications, said: "Our 'Your Path, Your Pace' technology transition approach is enabling our customers to reap the cost and agility benefits offered by generic computing resources today and into the future, without sacrificing quality, stranding investments or introducing new operational procedures or requirements.

"CCW is a great opportunity to share our recent innovations with one of the most technology savvy audiences in the industry and to demonstrate how we are helping media companies optimize their operations to meet the demands of an industry marked by ongoing and dramatic shifts in video consumption habits."
