'Work Anywhere' With root6 At BVE

News Image
'Work. Anywhere' was the theme of the root6 stand at BVE where the reseller and integrator demonstrated how a combination of old ideas and new technology frees facilities from the traditional constraints of capacity and location, streamlining operations and importantly, cutting costs.

Workstations on the stand were connected via the Internet to root6’s machine room back in Soho via Amulet Hotkey, a KVM solution widely employed in the financial and public sectors. It enables individual workstations to access any system across the network. In a recent installation at ITV in MediaCityUK, root6 deployed more than 80 such systems to good effect.
Pop-up-Post, the ability to move a production away from a traditional central facility, was shown on the stand using Avid Interplay Sphere. In this case, workgroup users maintain access to centralised content and resources in a private cloud environment with real-time media access to proxy material created on the fly.
For remote location work, standard web-browser based access to the same production asset database and content that the editors are using was seen with Interplay Central. For enhanced grading on Avid Media Composer and Symphony, root6 demonstrated the latest Baselight Editions plug-ins for Avid from Filmlight.
With remote editing in the field never being more popular, Adobe Anywhere was featured with content being edited on Premier Pro, while the Mercury playback Engine back home performed the necessary processing.
Also at the show was root6 Technology’s file-based workflow management and automation tool, ContentAgent. This now addresses the DPP AS-11 broadcast deliverables workflow, providing a fully automated end-to-end process for files and associated metadata – including Vidcheck integration for automated QC.
Featured on the stand was Imagen, a searchable content management system from Cambridge Imaging Systems and content storage management from Front Porch Digital. These were seen alongside online, nearline and archive storage from Dynamic Drive Pool, EMC Isilon, Object Matrix and XenData.
Gracing the root6 stand for the first time was SGO’s Mistika, a powerful tool to address the most demanding finishing tasks which proved 'must-see' for those contemplating the migration to 4K (UHD) post production.
The stand at BVE was shared with Rohde & Schwarz DVS, where two of the manufacturer’s flagship products were on show. Venice, the file-based broadcast production hub was seen in its latest iteration v3 with AS-11 DPP support, while Clipster appeared in v5.9 with support for Dolby’s Atmos. Following collaboration between Rohde & Schwarz DVS and New Zealand’s Park Road Post Production, Dolby Atmos was integrated into the first implemented high frame rate DCI process for 'The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug.'
