US Demo For Suitcase TV's MediaStor

Suitcase TV will demonstrate a standalone version of its MediaStor solution at NAB 2016. The storage platform aggregates multiple storage servers into a single unified structure, as well as includes optional HSM functionality to enable a range of storage levels from ultra fast SSD-based RAID to LTO data tape.

Designed specifically for broadcast media operations, MediaStor provides tracking and auditing of file histories, plus metadata handling capabilities for even the most complex of broadcast workflows.

MediaStor now includes support for archiving to spinning disk using new SMR disk technology combined with MAID architectures. The new MediaStor Archive enclosure provides up to 128TB of usable storage in a 1RU enclosed with an idle power consumption of 10W. Additional enclosures can be added as storage requirements increase.

In addition to managing storage, every MediaStor server can offer resources to perform media related tasks. Unlike other storage platforms, which may be built upon proprietary or Linux based operating systems, MediaStor is built upon Microsoft Windows. This simplifies integrations with third-party processing and file transfer software.

Also on show at NAB will be Suitcase TV's iphrame Vision Remote. Part of the iphrame suite, iphrame Vision Remote is a range of software based solutions that enable combined SDI and IP-based operations. The solution facilitates centralised outside broadcast and live events production and enables broadcasters to reduce their costs by allowing key personnel to operate the system from virtually any location where there is an internet connection. Additional cost savings can be achieved due to reduced travel and transport costs of personnel and equipment. Only the cameras and associated technical teams need to be deployed on-site.

Fraser Jardine, Commercial Director at Suitcase TV, said: "2016 is key for Suitcase TV as the company is growing rapidly in size and product development. We're delighted to bring MediaStor and iphrame Remote to this year's NAB and to show the US market how Suitcase TV is leading the IP revolution with a rich portfolio of solutions that media companies can use to deliver live streams across IP networks, store and repurpose media assets and maintain records of transmissions."
