BROADCAST & POST PRODUCTION

Transcription

1 Broadcast and Post Production Thinklogical is one of the most progressive fiber-based video solutions manufacturer and provider in the industry. We have successfully launched a large product expansion and development in the broadcast and post production arena and are committed to helping our customers succeed as they transition to the digital media world. In a rapidly changing technology environment our entertainment and media clients are able to realize their business objectives and optimize their performance using Thinklogical s leading-edge products and solutions.

2 Enabling Creative Professionals to Work More Efficiently and Productively As user requirements and technologies are continually evolving in broadcast and media production, a fiber-based routing and extension solution is required in order to meet the demand of delivering high resolution content to user desktops. Thinklogical systems provide a cost effective solution that dramatically improves collaborative workflows through long haul and high bandwidth capacity with seamless system integration. Thinklogical s products and solutions enable Broadcast and IT engineers to back rack and centralize their critical computing resources and allocate them as needed. Thus, allowing users to access computers located securely away from the broadcast or post production studio. By tightly integrating Thinklogical s fiber extension and routing solutions users are able to create a protocol agnostic system which is capable of supporting all desktop peripherals (including USB 2.0 and FireWire 800), analog and digital video, as well as full duplex audio. This simplifies reconfigurations, eases administration, and provides a flexible, future proof solution in an ever changing environment. Thinklogical s video processing solutions are built on extraordinary technology, differentiated by Thinklogical s patent-pending MRTS technology, which supplies a core platform for exceptional and enhanced image processing and quality. This technology successfully maintains digital video and peripheral signals over distance (up to 40 kilometers), with the ability to transport every frame of a 1920 x 60Hz (or higher) video stream with no compression, along with all desktop peripherals (keyboard, mouse, USB 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, and FireWire 800) with no latency. Thinklogical s MRTS technology plays a critical role in many applications, especially in the broadcast and post production arena, where real-time collaboration applications are in place and eliminating dropped frames and latency is of paramount importance.

4 Key Points All valuable and expensive computer equipment is housed in a secure and climate controlled machine room End users have an environment that is free from the heat and noise of computers Collaboration is now possible between broadcast personnel and/or studio teams without any major redeployment of equipment or infrastructure redesign Editors, post production, and broadcast engineers have full access to all equipment that has been allocated to them using standard KVM peripherals Thinklogical s Control Management System provides a media-centric customizable graphical user interface designed for easy and intuitive system setup and control All desktop peripherals (included all Wacom digital tablets) function with no latency Full frame rate DVI video is successfully maintained over any distance up to 40 kilometers Dual screen and dual-link capability is available to all desktop users Pristine video quality no matter what the format, DVI, dual-link DVI, 3G, HD, or SD SDI Routing technology is protocol agnostic - route any signal regardless of the format - data and video

5 Extender TX Digitizing Post Production Video Editing Machine Room Here all computer assets are stored. Equipment is secure, climate and temperature is regulated, with no outside interference or software downloads. Extender TX APPLICATION DIAGRAM BROADC AST & POST PRODUCTION BRIEF SOURCES Extender TX Ingest Broadcast feeds, video, and images obtained here can be converted, scaled, and corrected, then distributed via fiber to multiple editors in various locations. VX160 Router DESTINATIONS Broadcast Engineering Broadcast Engineers have full access to all of their equipment from any destination giving them the ability to respond quickly to operator problems. Engineers can access the same equipment and repair or switch the user to a different computer, thus reducing downtime. Editing Suites Editors have access to video output from their computers in all editing suites, shortening the editing cycle. Studios All equipment that has been allocated to the studios can be accessed using peripherals and Thinklogical Control Management. Desktop Workstations Primarily administrative user consoles, that could have multiple users, with a variety of access levels.
