Scale Logic LogoA collaboration between Scale Logic, Inc., NewTek, and Zixi drives 4K Workflow for the StudioXperience and Waskul.TV at NAB 2015. The companies are working together to create something innovative for broadcasters. Integrated file-based workflow leverages Hyper FS SAN & Scale-out NAS to deliver 4K post and live broadcast quality streaming over public internet.

Scale Logic, Inc., is a global, converged, value-added services and data storage infrastructure supplier. They have partnered with StudioXperience & Waskul.TV. Scale Logic will provide a complete end-to-end file based workflow converged solution on premise at NAB 2015 at the StudioXperience live auditorium. Six 4K camera feeds ingest into workstations where editors create, manage, and distribute content live and on demand to over 50,000 viewers across a range of traditional and mobile devices.

The solution created and developed by Scale Logic includes Hyper FS SAN and Scale-Out NAS File System powered by BWStor, Genesis DX2 high-performance RAID storage, and Genesis IAP HSM archive appliance. It also includes an integrated project management layer for managing editorial workflows for Adobe, Avid, and Final Cut Pro.

Scale Logic worked with Zixi and NewTek to extend a robust off premise workflow experience. Zixi will allow a contribution link from the StudioXperience booth to Waskul.TV over IP using Zixi’s OTT network aware protocol. NewTek TriCaster is the multi-camera live production system for the StudioXperience.

Visit Scale Logic at Booth SU621G at NAB 2015. They will have HyperFS and Strawberry demos every day.

Blonder Tongue and Zixi Introduce New LiveCast Encoder at NAB

Information, , ,

LiveCast_Encoder_ImageBlonder Tongue and Zixi have teamed up in order to create the new LiveCast encoder. It has been designed to allow sports networks and service providers to utilize public internet networks as a way to deliver studio-quality IP video reliably and securely over IP. The new LiveCast encoder will be introduced at NAB 2015.

The Blonder Tongue LiveCast encoder uses the Zixi software development kit (SDK) to integrate the Zixi Feeder inside the Blonder Tongue LiveCast encoder. This enables the LiveCast encoder to locally encode a live stream from a serial digital surface (SDI) source used in professional video.

The output is a high-quality H.264 high definition (HD) or standard definition (SD) stream that is encapsulated in the Zixi transport protocol. It is sent over the public internet to a cloud based video media server or service provider for future processing into the multiscreen workflow.

Zixi incorporates a reliable UDP-based protocol providing powerful content-aware bandwith optimization, error correction, packet loss recovery, and click sync technologies to ensure pristine broadcast video over unmanaged IP connections. The combination of Blonder Tongue’s broadcast quality encoding engine and Zixi’s video-optimized protocol provides an easily adaptable solution to leveraging public internet for reliable contribution from anywhere. This solution offers significant cost savings over traditional methods such as satellite, building fiber, or leasing bandwith from a third party provider.

The LiveCast encoder can be seen at NAB 2015 in Las Vegas from April 13 – 16, 2015. Blonder Tongue will be in booth SU6524 and Zixi will be in booth SU10802.
