On October 1, Advanced Systems Group (ASG) will host a 'Lunch & Learn' program at Harmonic's headquarters in San Jose. The event will showcase how Harmonic's MediaGrid shared storage solution and Electra X advanced media processor work together to improve file-based workflows in broadcast and editing environments.
MediaGrid Storage Accelerates File-Based Workflows
Powered by the Harmonic PURE Compression Engine, MediaGrid storage accelerates file-based workflows and provides the ability to manage the entire asset lifecycle. It reduces the cost of nearline media storage, making it practical to deploy multi-petabyte digital media libraries and archives for video-on-demand and other applications.
Electra X Delivers Superior Video Quality
The cost-effective Electra X appliance delivers superior video quality at low bitrates for broadcast and OTT multi-screen delivery. It features real-time encoding of SD, HD, and UHD media, integrated high-quality branding and graphics, and reliable transport stream playout for increased operational flexibility.
The demonstration will simulate a real-world editing environment, with multiple editors using multiple editing platforms while simultaneously sharing assets. 'Whether your editing environment is based around Mac or Windows-based equipment, MediaGrid is a powerful and practical shared storage solution,' said Dave Van Hoy, ASG president.
