Cambridge Imaging Systems To Exhibit BoB at Broadcast LIVE

Cambridge Imaging Systems is exhibiting for the first time at Broadcast Live 2007 and will be demonstrating, again for the first time, the synergies and benefits that can be achieved by operating its archive management solutions with Spectra Logic tape libraries. Spectra Logic’s UK base is in Oxford.
Hosted by Cambridge-based Global Distribution (Stand 43), Cambridge Imaging Systems is showing the ways in which its innovative off-air recording facility interfaces with Spectra Logic’s versatile tape libraries. The Box of Broadcast (BoB) system developed by CIS holds entire television programmes in digital file form on hard disk in a rolling archive and allows a range of functions such as: transcoding to lower bit rates and clip selection by the user of the broadcast programs.
The system offers high performance enterprise level distribution and has already proved popular with universities and libraries. It is currently in use at the University of Bournemouth and the National Screen and Sound Archive of Wales.
The combined archive management and storage solution offers significant benefits, claims Tony Blake of Cambridge Imaging Systems: “Our system provides a unique, robust solid state DVB to IP gateway, thus allowing users to move away from the use of computers for file transfer. Our modular systems have been adopted by a wide range of clients including the BBC and MOD and we know from experience that the Spectra Logic storage is an effective medium for our systems.”
Andrew Robertson of Spectra Logic said: “We are delighted to be able to demonstrate Cambridge Imaging Systems archive management systems using our tape libraries. Together, we can provide safe and compact solutions for wide ranging applications.”
