Sample Case Studies SkyLark Technology Inc. has become a supplier to Eurosport, the. 1 Pan-European TV channel On October 15 2013, the companies finalized a new agreement on the delivery of a complete set of client-server software for three HD broadcasting systems for automatic advertising insertion into the programs broadcast in the various countries. In 2014 it planned to make an expansion to over 20 broadcasting systems. In the frame of the project SkyLark Technology will provide technical support during five years. The full production cycle including automatic file import, playback and playlist editing is assured by SL NEO media servers of 3000 series configured as a set of "main + backup servers in a configuration 2+2, working "on pass".

Sample Case Studies Playout Center of the "REN-TV" Media-Holding: 5 programs of federal broadcasting The broadcasting complex is placed in the office of REN-TV holding (Moscow) and is intended for round-the-clock forming of 5 programs for a federal zonal broadcasting TV-channel. This unique, compact and high-tech solution is based on the SL NEO media-platform from the company SkyLark Technology. The complex contains: 6-channel playout-servers with external arrays and a built-in system for automation of broadcast, servers for graphic design, 4-channel servers for recording from VTR and external lines, 8 workplaces for control of the on-air playout, recording, file import, MAM, network infrastructure, equipment for route and monitoring of signals, system for media-planning. All elements of the system are closely integrated into one technological environment.

Sample Case Studies System of encoding, multichannel recording and preparing of content for the web-site of the First Channel (Russia, Moscow) SkyLark Technology company in common with the biggest Russian system integrator "OKNO-TV" have realized the project of a multichannel complex for coding and recording of on-air programs for the First channel in HD format. The system implements coding of 8 received HD-SDI signals and forms traffic IP-streams with several profiles for future on-line broadcasting at the site of the First channel www.1tv.ru. Recording of all on-air programs is implemented in 24/7 mode, simultaneously with coding, forming proxy and including "orbits" of time zones into files. Recorded materials come into the system of collective editing by proxy-copies, that functions at the basis of the client software News Cut of SL NEO platform, with using a single database for all users.

Sample Case Studies Multi-channel recording and IP TS encoding system for All-Russia State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company (VGTRK) The complex is designed on a basis of five 8-channel servers of SL NEO 6000 series and works in the mode 24/7; its main function is recording of formed on-air programs, including "orbits", with the purpose of their future "quick" mounting, trimming and placing at the web-resources of All-Russia State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company (VGTRK). All file recorders receive SD SDI signals that are formed by the VGTRK broadcasting complex, and work in the mode of cyclical recording, with regulated "lifetime" of materials: it helps user to use disk space of the servers efficiently. The materials become available for mounting and copying directly in the process of recording: the delay of access is not more than 5 seconds. For export of content from AL NEO 6000 recorders to the VGTRK file server, the instrument Transfer Manager of SL NEO platform is used: it allows forming up to 8 streams of simultaneous copying for every server, with adjustable speed.
