Veset Promotes Cloud Playout At IBC2014

At IBC2014, Veset is to feature its Nimbus Cloud Playout, a new, linear broadcast software-based solution that aims to utilise cloud-based resources.

Veset Nimbus Cloud Playout is a broadcast grade playout solution that enables users to take advantage of cloud technologies. Nimbus can be deployed on a broad range of public and private clouds, ranging from Amazon Web Services' Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), a web service for cloud-based products and applications, to locally installed servers.
Veset Chief Executive Officer Gatis Gailis said: "Veset Cloud Playout was created from the start to enable broadcasters to get high-quality channels to air quickly, more efficiently and with substantial reductions in up-front investment and ongoing operating costs when compared to competitive offerings."
Veset Chief Commercial Officer Fraser Jardine added: "The broadcast industry is making cautious, but unmistakable, steps toward the use of cloud resources. We, however, fully understand both the cloud and broadcast and have already produced a fully formed playout solution that establishes a new benchmark for next generation broadcast workflows."

Nimbus Ingest – Content is ingested through a web-based ingest agent where relevant metadata is added, quality is automatically QC'd and then uploaded to a MAM module.

Nimbus MAM – All mezzanine content is stored in the Amazon S3 storage cloud. Here the media is managed in terms of conversion, sub-clip creation, audio loudness normalisation compliant with relevant standards.

Nimbus Schedule - Schedules and sub-schedules are planned and added, secondary playlist elements added, graphics edited and time-delays inserted time-delays inserted.

Nimbus Playout – Hosted in Amazon EC2 by default, playout can also be hosted in any other private or public cloud if desired. Real-time video and audio filtering can be used, even for upscaling to HD, with impressive visual results.
