PCI Integrates LOUISE With
VimBiz Broadcast Resource
Management Solution
P

roConsultant Informatique (PCI)
has announced the integration
of its Business Management Solution
(BMS) LOUISE with the VimBiz
Broadcast Resource Management
Solution.
The LOUISE BMS definitely imposes
itself as the backbone of content
providers within the media industry.
As a real Information System, the
solution is designed to implement and
optimise business processes relevant
to each company, from content
acquisition and rights management to
distribution, in either a linear or digital
multi-platform environment.
Modular and robust, the LOUISE BMS
provides a centralised and dynamic
management of media (source) as well
as metadata (technical, operational
and business) relating to the content,
and offers a set of Modules and

extremely rich and flexible capabilities,
along a high-performance automated
task manager.
LOUISE plays a key role within the
media company's ecosystem, by
ensuring the overall management
of business processes. The solution
has been designed to fully integrate
all the business
systems linked to
its
environment.
This
approach
helps
streamline
and automate all
business processes
of the company, in
order to optimise
costs and increase
productivity.
In this context, PCI
wants to continue
its approach to

integrate its BMS LOUISE with other
leading systems on the market by
partnering with the Canadian company
Vimsoft, creator of the Broadcast
Resource
Management
solution
VimBiz.
This integration between BMS
LOUISE and VimBiz, operating as

part of a dedicated module, allows
synchronisation of the information
of the necessary planned resources
(human and technical) related to the
tasks to be performed by the company.
"Our business in Canada and North
America has led us naturally closer
to Vimsoft, which is a major provider
of Resource Management solutions
in the Americas. We are confident
that this partnership will promote the
commercial development of our two
companies, and the productivity of our
customers, which remains our primary
objective, "commented Hervé Obed,
CEO of PCI.
With more than 30 partners, PCI
has extended the availability of its
ecosystem to its customers and the
market. LOUISE perfectly integrates
many solutions or market technologies
through Business API's, and this
ecosystem continues to grow for the
benefit of content providers.
PCI will assure the VimBiz solution
integration within the LOUISE BMS,
and with the accompanying necessary
services in partnership with Vimsoft.

IHSE USA APAC Showcase

I

HSE USA showcased a
range of products at
BroadcastAsia2016.
The
Draco
tera
compact UNI matrix
switch provides the option
to switch any combination of
3G-SDI, USB 3.0, and ultra-highdefinition (UHD) KVM using an SFP
modular design. Each port is designed
around the IHSE flex-port technology,
which allows any port to be defined
as an input or output. Frame sizes are
available for 8, 16, 32, and 48 in 1 RU
with 64 and 80 ports in 2 RU. Each
frame includes an internal controller
card that can be managed with many
different third-party control systems
such as Crestron, HRS, DNF, and
Lawo's L-S-B software. Frames come
standard with dual power and optional
API modules for SNMP.
In addition to the standard compact
UNI options, customised models can
be configured using special-purpose
Embrionix modules for HDMI to SDI,
SDI to HDMI, MADI, and ST-2022-6 for
broadcast IP distribution.

IHSE's versatile Draco tera matrix switch

IHSE's Draco ultra DP is the first
4K DisplayPort KVM extender with
a 60-Hz refresh rate in full colour
depth. The device constitutes a new
generation of digital KVM signal
extension using the innovative
Lightweight Image (LICI) codec,
developed in cooperation with
Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated
Circuits. This revolutionary coding
technology ensures brilliant image
quality at the highest video resolutions
with outstanding colour accuracy
(deep colour ready).
The Draco ultra DP extender
allows the operation of CPUs from
a remotely located workstation
including
DisplayPort
monitor,

keyboard, and pointing device over
a pair of fibre cables. Transfer of
fully digital video is supported in
4K resolutions up to 4096 x 2160
and 3840 x 2160 at a real 60-Hz
refresh rate and full colour depth (24
bit, 4:4:4). The KVM extender also
supports audio transmission via the
DisplayPort interface, eliminating the
need for additional audio modules
and enabling playback of the audio
signal on monitors with integrated
loudspeakers. Integration of optional
Draco vario upgrade modules for
digital audio input and output, as well
as data signals such as USB 2.0 and RS232, is also possible.
The
Draco
U-Switch
enables

parallel switching of USB 2.0 data
and USB-HID signals to multimonitor
workstations via keyboard commands,
mouse movement, or push buttons.
Switching in this way produces a more
comfortable and efficient working
environment.
The Draco U-Switch is a perfect
solution in any environment where
multiple displays connected to
different CPUs must be managed
simultaneously. IHSE developed the
Draco U-Switch to allow users to
perform fast and accurate mouse
actions across multiple screens
without the need to manually change
keyboard and mouse devices or
connections.
