Omneon Announce New Products For IBC

A leading provider of scalable media server and active storage systems that optimise workflow productivity and on-air reliability for the production, distribution and management of digital media, Omneon, has announced the new products it will be demonstrating at IBC this year.
At the show, Omneon will make its European debut of the new MediaDeck GX complete channel-playout solution that combines proven video server playout, world-class graphics and advanced audio processing, all of which operate under the control of the user's preferred automation system.
Offering rich branding and master control functionality, the MediaDeck GX system makes it easier and more affordable for broadcasters to launch new services or to make incremental additions to their existing channel lineup.
In extending the MediaDeck system to include leading real-time graphics and branding technology, Omneon offers customers a powerful video processing platform that simplifies workflows and speeds deployment of channel chain.
Unlike other single-box playout systems that tie users to an embedded automation system, the MediaDeck GX system delivers best-of-breed performance across playout, graphics and audio processing while giving users the flexibility to choose the automation system that best meets their business and operational requirements.
The Omneon MediaDeck GX seamlessly unites three key components of a typical channel chain: the proven MediaDeck transmission platform from Omneon, a leading branding and master control module, and template-based graphics software.
When deployed in a customer's environment, the Omneon MediaDeck GX will operate under the control of the broadcaster's choice of automation software. The Omneon MediaDeck is a broadcast-quality video server designed specifically for broadcasters who need a cost-effective, east-to-deploy playout platform.
Also at IBC this year, Omneon will highlight four new MediaPort modules for its Omneon Spectrum and MediaDeck server systems that extend real-time codec support to facilitate flexible, cost-effective production and playout of SD and HD content.
The MediaPort 5400 Series, MediaPort 5500 Series, MediaPort 5600 Series and MediaPort 6200/6300 Series all provide codec capabilities that support implementation of streamlined and economical workflows in bringing multiformat media to air.
In addition, Omneon will demonstrate a range of new features for MediaPort models, including scrub audio, improved jog/shuttle and still modes and integrated real-time proxy generation as well as SD/HD simulcast that enable Omneon video servers to support fast-paced production environments.
The industry-leading codec and format support provided by Omneon servers enables both real-time delivery of video and seamless access to file-based media across broadcast and production workflows.
Offering high-quality media processing, advanced control over encode and playback functions and open systems that enable smooth interoperability with other digital media applications, the Omneon MediaPort systems are able to meet the stringent demands of broadcasters and production facilities.
