Vector 3 Revamps Multichannel Playout
New Vector MultiPlay product line leverages IT-based technology to optimize resources in multichannel operations
Barcelona, Spain – June 22, 2010 -- Vector 3™, a pioneer in graphics and playout solutions, will be demonstrating new capabilities of their innovative flagship multichannel playout solution, Vector MultiPlay, alongside its channel-in-a-box version, VectorBox, at the IBC 2010 exhibition, held in Amsterdam September 10 - 15, 2010 on Stand 7.C01.
Released in the Fall of 2009, Vector MultiPlay has been deployed at a wide-range of large broadcast facilities - Muz-TV Russia, Live TV in India, and TSA in Spain – integrating the power of classic broadcast playout with the flexibility of IT-based technology to optimize the broadcast infrastructure and management. “Vector MultiPlay makes the entire playout and back up workflow much more efficient. The MultiPlay architecture requires less hardware to manage production and redundancy and fewer resources to manage playout. This means broadcasters can allocate resources and budgets to expanding the operation, taking advantage of new channel opportunities,” remarks Roman Ceano, general manager, Vector 3.
Based on IT hardware, Vector MultiPlay incorporates over 20 years of Vector 3 playout technology, including the full-range of Master Control Room capabilities, integrated Effects Engine, and dynamic Channel Branding with an integrated universal file format player that supports all SD/HD formats simultaneously. Designed to optimize redundancy management for multichannel broadcasters, the innovative distributed MultiPlay architecture enables engineers to precisely target redundancy and backup priorities, reducing the need for costly server mirroring and improving performance of multichannel playout. Modular in design, the advanced MultiPlay product line supports IT-based facilities ensuring scalability and flexibility for future channel and program expansion.
