Rohde & Schwarz Media highlights modern, secure and configurable software portfolio at IBC2024.
Uncompromised quality and reliability coupled with simplicity and efficiency.
Rohde & Schwarz will highlight its modern, cost-effective infrastructure solutions at IBC2024 (stand 7.B21, RAI Amsterdam, 13 – 16 September). The range of products has been updated using the latest software architectures and techniques to offer highly configurable systems which are stable in operation, secure against cyberthreats, yet also simple to implement and affordable. 

The Gallium and StreamMaster automated playout environment can now run under the latest versions of either Windows or Linux. It leverages the latest .NET 6.0 technology to provide the most cost-efficient deployment in the cloud, and a PostgreSQL backend, the world's most advanced open-source relational database. It means that broadcasters and service providers can build playout automation and delivery systems from a single channel to hundreds; on premises, as a multi-site operation or hybrid cloud; controlled securely from any location via a web browser. 

Gallium can keep track of the legal limits on advertising minutes, providing graphical, detailed indications of the status and thereby helping users ensure compliance with regulators. The highly configurable Gallium software also allows practical operational workflows through tight interworking. It supports the Telestream DIVA API, for example, to seamlessly manage very large libraries. Gallium and StreamMaster also support direct control of the Nevion VideoIPath media orchestration layer. 

Rohde & Schwarz Media led the industry with the introduction of the software-defined, networked multiviewer and monitoring platform R&S©PRISMON. Already delivering high channel density, the adoption of PCI 4.0 gives an even better price/performance ratio on COTS hardware. 

Because it is fully implemented in software, PRISMON provides unprecedented agility as well as capacity, and is continually updated, for example to support the latest NDI, SRT, NMOS and SMPTE ST2110 standards, Dolby Atmos encoded streams, and watermarking and signalling schemes. Commercially, it is also available on a pay-as-you-go licence to switch on functionality only when you need it. 

Rohde & Schwarz Media will be demonstrating the Gallium and StreamMaster automation and video processing platform, PRISMON networked multiviewers, R&S©SpycerNode2 secure storage, R&S©VENICE live and production ingest, and R&S©CLIPSTER premium content mastering system at IBC2024 on stand 7.B21.
