DVS to Show File-Based Broadcasting and Accelerated DCP Remastering

At this year’s IBC, visitors will be able to see and learn about Rohde & Schwarz DVS GmbH‘s latest range of products.

Once again, the focus will be on the topics of flexibility and performance enhancement covering the systems. With VENICE in particular, DVS is taking a step: as a media production hub, it offers users from the areas of news production, post production and studio production as well as archiving and on-air playout efficiency.

VENICE goes beyond accomodating traditional video server features such as HD-SDI ingest and studio playout to include intelligent file-based functions such as file ingest, transcoding, transwrapping and media transfer. At the same time, VENICE integrates into any file-based broadcast environment thanks to its open platform and communication standards – in doing so providing file-based broadcasting with convenience and efficiency.

The CLIPSTER DI workstation incorporates a DCP QC Tool in the area of mezzanine-format generation which accelerates performance in the DCP remastering process. Furthermore, the new render pipeline in CLIPSTER boosts performance with processes running up to 8 times faster – a benefit in DCI workflows with tight deadlines. It supports mezzanine formats like IMF (Interoperable Master Format) and follows the IMF standardization developments offering, among other things, CPL version 5 support.

When it comes to DVS’s storage solutions, SpycerBox is reliable and capacity increases – with the SpycerBox Ultra now offering an increased capacity of 96TB. In critical workflows in particular, where reliable and parallel mirroring – even in separate locations – of all data is demanded, SpycerBox is the solution thanks to its HA feature set. SpycerBox’s mirrored configuration prevents total outages, ensures performance remains unaffected even in the event of incidents and in doing so guarantees uninterrupted operation.

Bernhard Reitz, head of product management at DVS: "The way in which the production environment of today’s TV studio operates is marked out by a mix of the traditional video world and the modern file-based world. At this year’s IBC in Amsterdam, DVS will be showcasing its VENICE Media Production Hub for TV studios – this way redefining the world of file-based broadcasting. CLIPSTER and our storage solutions, including their enhancements, will continue to set industry standards."
