Press Release
Integration offers seamless end-to-end playout and disaster recovery solutions
Stand 1.C37i, IBC2024, Amsterdam, 13-16 September 2024 – Ortana Media Group is excited to announce the native integration of the Rohde & Schwarz (R&S) Pixel Power Gallium playout engine within its industry-leading Cubix product range. This development provides a robust, adaptable solution for content delivery, channel provisioning, and disaster recovery (DR) workflows.
By integrating Gallium’s API directly into Cubix, Ortana has empowered its platform to not only deliver playlists and content to Gallium channels but also to fully provision channels from scratch. This makes Cubix and Gallium an ideal pairing for traditional playout operations as well as on-demand DR workflows, ensuring continuity when it matters most.
Key benefits of this integration include:
Full Gallium Playout Channel Management: Cubix can fully provision, manage, and then “tear down” Gallium playout channels, offering unmatched flexibility in controlling broadcast environments.
Streamlined Workflow Automation: Build highly efficient, end-to-end workflows for content acquisition, compliance, quality control (QC), transcoding, and delivery - whether for playout, video-on-demand (VoD), or archival purposes.
Disaster Recovery on Demand: Cubix offers a “DR on Demand” solution, dynamically deploying resources only when needed. This avoids the costs associated with “warm standby” systems and ensures DR workflows are initiated precisely at the point of failure.
Event-Specific and FAST Channel Deployment: Fully automated channel provisioning can be used for one-off events or free ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) channels, with the entire process being “lights out” with no manual intervention required.
With over 90 integrations across a variety of media asset management (MAM) systems, playout engines, storage providers, and more, Cubix is uniquely positioned to handle complex media environments with ease. In a single click, users can deploy DR services for playout, transcoding, and other critical operations, ensuring seamless workflows and minimal disruption to their content delivery.Ortana’s continued innovation makes Cubix the perfect choice for broadcasters, media companies, and OTT providers seeking flexible, scalable, and cost-effective solutions for both everyday operations and disaster recovery scenarios.For more information on this integration or to schedule a demo, please visit our stand at IBC2024 1.C37i.
