Alex Grossman of Quantum speaks with Ryan Salazar of Broadcast Beat Magazine at the 2015 NAB Show New York event in NYC. Alex shows us Quantum's Xcellis Workflow Storage system.

Most organizations that work with large amounts of data are familiar with the causes of their pain—large files, even larger data sets, more collaborators, shorter deadlines, nearly constant upgrades—but far less obvious is a way to address the situation. The ideal solution would be a storage system flexible enough to be right-sized for any large data workflow. One that is scalable enough to keep up with growing demands without performance degradation. A system collaborative enough to provide access, regardless of performance requirements. And finally, efficient enough to do all this and stay on budget. Quantum Xcellis™ workflow storage is just that.

CONVERGED ARCHITECTURE

Xcellis optimizes workflow and shared access by combining functions that were formerly provided by separate components into a compact, space- and energy-saving solution. Xcellis manages high-speed disk for the most demanding workflows, multi-protocol SAN and LAN client access, single-pane-of-glass management and monitoring, and automatic data movement to low-cost storage such as cloud, object, and tape. Xcellis maximizes operational and workflow efficiency, and reduces the cost of data storage.

CONTINUOUS SCALABILITY

Other scalable storage systems require additional system acceleration units or compute-heavy expansion nodes in order to scale. These units increase the cost and network complexity of scaling. Xcellis scales simply by adding storage arrays so every dollar invested pays off in more capacity and greater bandwidth. Plus, the initial investment in Xcellis is protected, eliminating forklift upgrades in order to scale.

UNIFIED ACCESS

Demanding workflows have spawned an increased need for collaboration and expanded teams. By combining both SAN performance and the ease of NAS connectivity, Xcellis extends collaboration to the broadest range of users. This provides the right level of performance to the right people, improves collaboration, and simplifies deployments and workflows.

EFFICIENCY AND ENABLEMENT

Xcellis reduces or eliminates the need to maintain multiple storage systems, the network traffic to move data between them, and the time and headcount to manage them. By using converged storage and access, organizations can scale their storage system more efficiently by leveraging every dollar spent to benefit all connected users.

Xcellis optimizes workflows, accelerates time to insight, and empowers organizations to do more with their data.

Utah Scientific's Chris Harmon chats with Ryan Salazar of Broadcast Beat Magazine about Video Routers, Playout Servers and more at NAB Show New York City.

Utah Scientific was founded in 1977 to develop routing switchers for the television industry, and after only seven months — in the spring of 1978 — the company delivered its first analog router to KUED-TV in Salt Lake City. The company’s integrity and high-quality product quickly earned distinction, and television stations worldwide became Utah customers.

Since its first analog router, the AVS-1, Utah Scientific has taken the leadership role in advancing routing technology. Significant milestones for the company include the first large scale digital router, multi-format routing, integrated A/D and D/A conversions on inputs and outputs, integrated fiber optic conversion, and 300-Mb switching capability on all its digital routers since 1992. Additionally, Utah routers are the most energy efficient on the market. And the company offers the industry’s widest range of control panels, allowing customers to specifically tailor Utah routers to fit any operation.

Utah Scientific has more experience than any other manufacturer in routing switchers and associated distribution products. Utah Scientific takes pride in knowing that the reliability and performance of their routers, control systems and master-control processors are unmatched by any product line in the industry

Ray Kalo of Plura Broadcast shows Broadcast Beat's audience the SPT (Studio Production Timer).

The SPT combines the flexibility of a por- table remote with the feature set of a large timer generator system.

Up to six timers can be generated onboard. An external NTP server can be aligned as a real-time reference.

An Ethernet output distributes all timers straight into your network.

All A+V Ethernet displays can be hooked up at any place in the connected studio, so that all production timers finally become visible where they’re needed and when they’re needed – without additional signal cabling!

A vast generator unit isn’t necessary. This adds even more movability and value to the compact studio production timer SPT.

SPT FEATURES:

Network-based studio timer distribution Up to six different timers/timezones Utilising existing Ethernet infrastructure Configuration at any workspace

PoE (Power over Ethernet is supported) Reads NTP as the real-time reference
