MUMBAI: SeaChange International will demonstrate a range of new workflow and play-to-air solutions at Nab 2009 in Las Vegas this April.

The aim will be to underscore why broadcasters worldwide continue to choose SeaChange as their HD partner. Highlights include a new production-to-playout workflow; the next generation of its Broadcast MediaLibrary and groundbreaking flash memory-based transmission servers; and a rapidly expanding roster of customers who are establishing new economies of scale and opportunities with SeaChange solutions.

SeaChange will put on display its Advanced Production-to-Playout Workflow. Through a new technology and integration partnership with Dalet Digital Media Systems and DataDirect Networks, SeaChange is bringing to market an enterprise media asset management-based workflow that improves how broadcasters produce, share and repurpose content.

The new workflow forms a flexible solution for broadcasters and content producers creating news, sports and entertainment programmes.

SeaChange will also showcase its BMLxt server. Designed for broadcasters who require a scalable, reliable disk-based central media asset library, the BMLxt features a new SAS drive-based design that improves reliability while delivering faster transfer speeds, less latency and increased scalability.

The BMLxt series of servers scales from a single 3.6TB node up to a 9-node cluster providing nearly 100TB, which can be combined with SeaChange’s MediaClient (MCL) software codecs to ingest or playout broadcast-quality HD and SD channels.
