Pharos adds dual ingest to Mediator
Simultaneous ingest of incoming video to transmission-quality MPEG-2 and browse-quality MPEG-1 will be demonstrated by Pharos Communications at IBC 2004.
An enhancement to the Pharos Mediator media management system, this new option will enable broadcasters to make a compressed reference copy of programme source content via the same signal processor that ingests to the transmission server.
Pharos Mediator then transfers the files automatically to their appropriate destinations.
Spencer Rodd, Pharos Communications Technical Director, said: "Simultaneous ingest saves both time and resources as broadcasters no longer need to dedicate a video server to browse encoding. The MPEG-1 processor is IPV Ltd's new nSpectre SDI which generates a low bitrate stream with embedded SMPTE timecode and outputs to IP-based 10/100 Mbit/s Ethernet. The system can be controlled and supervised via a Web browser. Being firmware based, it can also be upgraded online to handle new browse formats."
Introduced in 2000, Pharos Mediator enables broadcasters to ingest, manage and move their media quickly across a variety of storage devices, from tape to server to archive.
