Grass Valley Group announces digital news storage system

The Grass Valley Group have expanded their digital news production capabilities with the announcement of the NewsShare shared-storage system.
Designed to flex with the frantic production pace of broadcast news, the NewsShare system enables journalists to simultaneously view and edit feeds and edit the same material in different bays - and even start work on a sequence in one edit bay and finish it in another.
Leveraging the same infrastructure that supports the Grass Valley Media Area Network shared-storage system, the NewsShare system provides real-time performance, architectural scalability, exhaustive media search capabilities, and tight integration with the Grass Valley Group's news ingest, browse, editing, and playout systems.
The Grass Valley Group also announced two new additions to its Digital News Production Solution – the laptop-based NewsEdit LT non-linear editor and the NewsBrowse desktop browsing system.
The NewsShare system acts as a high-efficiency shared media environment enabling multiple editors to share source media and play finished packages directly to air. Its asset-management database lets users easily locate clips, subclips, and sequences. It is also compliant with the Grass Valley Group's ContentShare open software platform for information access and exchange provides system-wide media access.
The highly scalable NewsShare system supports up to 48 channels of video, terabytes of storage, and MPEG and DVCPRO materials at data rates up to 50 Mb/s. News organisations can build a NewsShare system from the ground up or add one to an existing workgroup of NewsEdit and Profile XP Media Platform systems.
To ensure high availability, the system features a no-single-point-of-failure design, redundant key components, and SNMP-based remote monitoring.
The system is scheduled to be available in the second quarter of 2002.
