Rohde & Schwarz showcases operational efficiency at MPTS

Uncompromised quality and reliability coupled with simplicity and efficiency

Rohde & Schwarz will showcase its media technologies portfolio at the Media Production & Technology Show (stand M40, Olympia London, 15 – 16 May) and demonstrate the operational efficiencies its technology brings without compromising the quality and reliability that broadcasters demand.

For facilities seeking playout and master control automation, the platform from Pixel Power, a Rohde & Schwarz company, is proven worldwide. Its highly flexible software architecture allows broadcasters to precisely define the functionality they need, channel by channel. This includes dynamic graphics and branding, drawing on the long history of graphics creation by Pixel Power. Whether on premises or in the cloud, the software delivers absolute reliability and precision in playout.

As operations grow in complexity and size, the need to monitor large numbers of feeds increases exponentially. R&S®PRISMON brings a fresh approach to multiviewers, using IP connectivity and networking to achieve unprecedented flexibility, scalability and efficiency. The intelligent architecture minimizes hardware demand by processing each input signal – SDI, ST2110 and compressed IP feeds – just once, sharing PiP signals over the network. The result is a system that can feed large numbers of unique mosaics with a minimum of processing overhead.

Rohde & Schwarz at MPTS will also showcase its solutions in shared media storage, ingest, and mastering. R&S®SpycerNode2 has redefined reliable and secure media storage for the most demanding creative applications, scaling up to exabyte capacities in multiple locations and in the cloud. For flexible, high performance ingest, R&S®VENICE is our solution for live and studio productions. Its unique VSA (virtual storage access) technology provides extremely high throughput with zero risk for critical media transfers. Recognized as the gold standard in mastering, the latest version of R&S®CLIPSTER gives users a speed increase of up to 100% on even the most complex set of deliverables.

“The UK is a powerhouse of production and broadcasting, and MPTS gives us the opportunity to discuss our distinct approach to technology and learn how we can solve the challenges content producers and broadcasters are facing,” said Xavier Levasseur, Head of European Media Sales at Rohde & Schwarz. “We recognize that performance, reliability and security are critical for professional users, but so too is efficiency and sustainability. In adopting cutting-edge technologies like HPC high performance computing, we achieve the highest standards in all these parameters.”
