ASIA-PACIFIC BROADCASTING

Omneon recently released an automated playout system which combines video server playout, world-class graphics and advanced audio processing.

The Omneon MediaDeck GX simplifies the workflow and makes it easier for broadcasters to add new channels. This is made possible by integrating real-time graphics and branding technology in MediaDeck, said Geoff Stedman, Omneon’s senior vice-president for products and markets.

"Unlike other single-box playout systems that tie users to an embedded automation system, MediaDeck GX delivers best-of-breed performance across playout, graphics and audio processing while giving users the flexibility to choose the automation system that best meets their business and operational requirements."

The MediaDeck GX system plays out stored stills and animations while enabling mixing and playout of voiceovers, promos and stingers, with optional encoding and decoding of AC-3 and Dolby E audio. The system also offers other branding and master control capabilities such as wipes, fades, pushes and other transitions typical of presentation mixers, as well as dual DVEs for squeezeback and other DVE effects.

MediaDeck GX integrates three key components of a typical channel chain: The MediaDeck transmission platform from Omneon; a leading branding and master control module; and template-based graphics software. MediaDeck is a broadcast-quality video server designed for broadcasters who need a cost-effective, easy-to-deploy playout platform.

MediaDeck GX allows broadcasters to work with their preferred automation software, thus saving on existing investments. It can be configured and monitored via the Omneon SystemManager Web-based interface.
