Imagine looks to the future at NAB 2023 with Aviator Orchestrator

NAB 2023 sirve como plataforma de lanzamiento para el mañana de Imagine Communications, que lleva a Las Vegas el nuevo Aviator Orchestrator, una alianza con Eggs y compatibilidad con JPEG XS de intoPix.

La nueva plataforma Aviator Orchestrator of Imagine permite gestionar configuraciones de canales redundantes, mantener sincronizados múltiples sistemas de emisión lineal y gestionar el flujo de señales de fuentes en directo. Gracias a un enfoque preparado para la evolución del mercado broadcast, el sistema puede unir los mundos he-prem y cloud bajo una plataforma de despliegue común que maneja las relaciones entre canales y flujos en directo de forma cohesionada.

The solution of Imagine Communications, present in NAB 2023, brings together the capabilities of Imagine's on-prem broadcast and automation systems and its public cloud platform Imagine Aviator Plan, Make and Monetize. In addition, it incorporates capabilities to deploy, manage and connect the emission engine in the cloud Cloudport of Eggs and the dynamic ad insertion platform Thunderstorm, including the ability to reach OTT and connected television (CTV) endpoints. All of this creates an integrated solution to overcome challenges such as the complexity of broadcast workflows, cloud migration and changing consumer viewing habits.

The Aviator Orchestrator product suite, which will be released later in 2023, works in conjunction with the feature set Magellan Connect of Imagine, recently introduced, which leverages low-latency encryption and secure delivery techniques to enable control of ground-to-cloud routing. Local sources, such as transport flows SDI, SMPTE ST 2110 y MPEG-2, can be routed within a single facility, between multiple on-premises facilities, and from these to the public cloud, all under an integrated routing control environment. Content destined for the cloud can be encoded for contribution using H.264 and/or JPEG XS and delivered securely using SRT.

Alianza estratégica con Amagi

Aviator Orchestrator se beneficia del reciente acuerdo firmado entre Imagine Communications y Amagi, compañía especializada en tecnología SaaS.

Desde el punto de vista tecnológico, la colaboración permite integrar Amagi Cloudport en la suite Aviator de Imagine, as well as SureFire de Imagine en la oferta Thunderstorm de Amagi, creando un entorno que permita mover flujos de trabajo de contribución, emisión y distribución entre las soluciones locales de Imagine y los servicios en la nube de Amagi.

Desde el punto de vista de la evolución del negocio, la asociación estratégica permitirá planificar, vender y ejecutar la publicidad en las audiencias lineales y de CTV aprovechando Amagi Thunderstorm, una plataforma dinámica de inserción de anuncios; el servidor de anuncios de vídeo SureFire de Imagine, y el marco Plan/Make/Monetize.

Los visitantes de NAB 2023 pueden descubrir todas las claves de esta alianza en el stand de Imagine Communications.

Selenio, ya compatible con JPEG XS de intoPIX

Finalmente, Imagine ha presentado en NAB 2023 la última versión del procesador de red Selenio (SNP) de Imagine con soporte para núcleos IP FPGA TicoXS. This integration simplifies high-speed, high-quality connectivity for remote production workflows and low-latency ground-to-cloud links.

Imagine's SNP platform allows customers process, convert, manage and now encode/decode content, whether in SDI or ST 2110, or in mixed infrastructures. Incorporating intoPIX JPEG XS technology, SNP enables customers to create production-quality, ultra-low latency connections between sites, or between terrestrial and cloud-based resources. In this way, users can take advantage of the SNP platform to add JPEG XS capability to existing systems and customize the path and pace of your cloud migration.
