17 www.inbroadcast.com | IBC2015 InShow Guide | 11-15 September iphrame Suite Expands Into Playout And Publishing IBC 2015 sees the launch of a range of products to further expand the range and capabilities of Suitcase TV's iphrame Suite... i phrame Suite is an IP-based production system that effectively dispenses with much of the elaborate equipment traditionally required for live broadcasts. This is made possible because it can run on any standard IT hardware from a COTS entry-level PC right up to dedicated rack-mounted hardware or cloud-deployed VM's. A significant turning-point in the evolution of live event broadcasting, the new iphrame Vision Remote architecture lets broadcasters drastically decrease their expenses by enabling many aspects of the production process to be managed at a location or range of locations away from the event - anywhere there is an available internet connection. By reducing the amount of proprietary broadcast equipment used, broadcasters can also save on the time it takes to set such systems up. As a result, the only essential on-site staff are the camera operators and very few others. For broadcasters seeking ways to provide more high quality content while reducing their costs, it is clear that this solution can help save on the expense of transporting staff and equipment. Live events can now be covered with IP connections a fraction of the speed of traditional links with support for new IP standards such as SMPTE 2022 and built-in support for Zixi - a proprietary solutions for transport over unreliable IP links. Playout has seen many changes over the last 10 years and with the launch of iphrame Publish, a solution for the complete pre-rendering of playout channels, Suitcase TV is set to radically transform linear channel playout so that it can be treated in much the same iphrame Vision & Remote allows for centralised production of OBs & other live events way as publishing for VOD. iphrame Publish was born out of the realisation that the majority of today's channels are non-reactive and schedules are known well in advance of transmission. iphrame Publish brings together all the disparate assets required for the finished channel and pre-renders them to the emission format complete with all graphics and aligned subtitle and caption data generating a file-based output (chunked) of a complete linear channel. As the entire solution is CPU based, it can be run in a virtual environment on local or cloud-deployed systems, further reducing costs and providing more options for global distributed architectures. iphrame Publish significantly reduces the risk associated with the reliance on real-time processing currently found in playout whilst maintaining the ability to handle last minute changes to programming and commercial content.
