CASE STUDY : Hosanna Vision (Panama)

Hvision2

First half of 2018 has been  very productive  for SI Media. Several installations have been deployed around the world and many will come in the second semester as well. Among the projects we have completed in this period, one of the most significant has been Hosanna Vision in Panama.

Hosanna Vision is a Christian Television Channel, a benchmark for all the Caribbean for its infrastructure and the quality of its contents. Hosanna Vision chose SI Media as unique provider of traffic and automation system for its main channel.

All the servers have been installed, configured and shipped from Italy including storage and library, and this has optimized at best the deployment time in Panama. In less than 6 weeks the installation has been completed, staff trained and the channel officially launched on air.

Which are the peculiarities of this installation for SI Media?

First of all, SI Media has taken care also of the system integration, providing a fully redundant network infrastructure based on Aruba, dealing with its installation, configuration, cabling and testing.

1) In terms of workflow, SI Media provided an end-to-end solution, including:

-4 ingest channels to generate contents from satellites, studio and vtr

-file ingest from drop folders, P2\XDCam

-media asset management, including workflow manager, proxy generator, transcoder, quality check and integration via plug-in with Adobe Premiere Pro

-traffic\scheduling and advertising management to generate daily playlist

-redundant automation channel with dedicated character generator

– Studio playout for live productions and news

2) Integrated devices\storages

The proposed automation system is based on SI Media controlling via API 2x Belden\Grass Valley K2 for automation (main\bk), studio playout and base band ingest. SI Media provided and integrated in its workflow a GBLabs 96TB storage, FAST NAS F16 NITRO, as central archive.

As deep archive, SI Media is controlling a SONY ODS M30 with a dedicated SI Media plug-in which allows to archive, retrieve and perform partial restoring.

Finally, to automate the controlling of the sources, SI Media has interfaced a EVERTZ XENON 128×128 A/V Router.

CASE STUDY : TFC (Tokyo)

tfc

At the beginning of 2018 SI Media has deployed a full automation system at TFC – Tohokushinsha Film Corporation -, based in Tokyo.

Like in the previous projects, the local partner and systems integrator has been Ideal Systems Japan.

TFC needed to automate the playout 24/7 for its four VOD channels, in HD. Given this, the installation includes 4 MediaPlay that air IGO, STAR EX, FAMILY NEO, SHOGI PLUS, in a full-redundant environment with 4 clone playout backups. The whole system is based on IT-servers using AJA KONA4 boards.

The playlists are generated in two ways: three channels are managed with MediaList, the SI Media traffic system, and this allows to manage in details each event. The switching commands and the secondary events can be scheduled in advance, and also the rights for each content related to a deal are administered through MediaList. The remaining channel instead has the daily playlists made by NEC traffic system, in a proprietary format well known by SI MEDIA: the integration of NEC traffic system is made with MediaLinker, SI MEDIA‘s module that allows the import of the 3rd party daily playlist.

SI Media has integrated a VIDEOTRON 16×16 A/V Router to manage automatically all the sources, feeds from satellites, studios, cameras from the Master Control Room with the MediaDevice; the character generators are provided by SI Media as well, with a MediaCG engine dedicated to each output channel.

On the other side, with 3 MediaRec Servers managing 1 input channel each, TFC has its automated base-band ingest suite, fundamental for archiving and reusing all material needed and used by the 4 channels.

The core of the system is a SI MEDIA MAM SUITE: first of all, every asset is quality-checked and eventually transcoded if the starting format is not the right one. After this check, the assets is moved to the central storage and, from here, copied by the MAM Mover Engine to the local storage of the playouts that requires this asset. Users can access the asset management to browse the catalogued material, search, check the status of each asset and add metadata.

CASE STUDY : Televisa (Mexico)

TELEVISA1
Production Control Room – MediaNews Play (Tijuana-Mexico)

At Televisa, one of the most important broadcasters in Mexico and the biggest content producer in Spanish of the world, SI Media has provided a complete turnkey solution for 3 of their Regional Production Control Rooms.

The system has been deployed by SI Media directly at the customer facility.

Key Points:

– More than 40 users using the NRCS
– 2 Regional Sites with their own PCRs, connected to the Central Site, sharing same MAM and DB
– Turnkey solution from ingest to playout through MAM and NRCS in an highly integrated workflow
– Social Media integration with automated upload on Televisa accounts
– Thanks to the full support of software provider SI Media and a great cooperation with the Tech Dept. of Televisa, the migration from the previous NRCS to SI Media’s MediaNews was completed very quickly: it took less than 3 weeks to be 100% generating the Rundowns and On Air with the new system

The workflow (see below the design) is composed by several servers and workstations Supermicro.
More than 40 users work every day with MediaNews to create stories, prepare rundown and manage all the media of the redaction (video, audio, images, documents..).

work

The mobile app iMediaNews for both Android and iOS plays a fundamental role to speed-up the ingest of the footages and the production of the stories, especially when they come from a remote location.

The story life of the contents is managed by SI Media from the ingest, both base band based through 2 MediaRec workstations and file ingest from TAPES, portable cards such as XD Cam, P2, ftp servers, directly from the web and from all the interfaced SONY Vegas NLE stations.

The structure of SI Media system, with the deep integration between MAM and NRCS, allowed to cover a complete end-to-end workflow.
The schema requested by Televisa was addressed to manage 3 different sites with a unique system: in the central site of Tijuana are located the redundant Database, the central storage, the MAM\NRCS servers and the main PCR with a MediaNewsPlayer equipped with a Matrox Card Xmio; the two remoted sites, Mexicali and Ensenada, have also their own PCRs too: the Rundonws are generated with the MediaNews Web (browser application) by the journalists, who can also export the bulletin to the dedicated Teleprompters (one per sites). The contents are loaded by SI Media MAM into the remote MediaNewsPlayers, that for those facilities are working with AJA Cards Corvid 22.

In addition to this, using our certified Mos Protocol SI Media has interfaced and integrated 3 Teleprompters from Autocue and the graphics engine provided by Ross, which is remotely controlled by SI Media MediaDevice.

The customer goes on air with 7 bulletins and live editions per day from the central site, besides with SI Media NRCS are generated and managed 3 news editions from the regional sites.
The 3 sites are connected via Fiber Channel, allowing high-speed transfers of the contents and an efficient sharing of the material.

The plug-ins for the Social Media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) and for Youtube make easier to publish directly to the account of Televisa the stories that the journalists select from the MediaNews interface, also thanks to the transcoder farm with the MediaStore Coder module.

The whole process of configuration, installation, testing, training and commissioning took less than 3 weeks: in this time they abandoned the previous system, and they started producing every news edition with SI Media platform.
