Vector replaces the need for the traditional data center with a compact solution
that significantly reduces rack space, cabling and power. Whether hosted on
Globecomm's cloud network or implemented at a customer site, each system is
designed with Globecomm's hallmark resiliency offering high availability.
"Vector marks the next step in the evolution of Globecomm's services for the
media and entertainment industries, and is the culmination of many months of R&D
research," said Chief Commercial Officer Bryan McGuirk. "We've spent decades
building production facilities and broadcast centers, hosting and distributing
high-value media content for linear broadcast and helping customers adapt it for
OTT. The Vector virtualized video headend brings all of that capability
together into one of the simplest, resilient and scalable solutions on the
market."
The video headend is the technology core for video management, from ingest and
storage to packaging. In legacy headends, the workflow depends on multiple
devices from different manufacturers, each performing discrete tasks and all
requiring integration with sufficient redundancy to ensure reliable processing,
and end-to-end communication to deliver the final content package.
Vector simplifies multiple, interdependent processes - including new compression
technologies, multiple video standards and encoding advances such as adaptive
bit rate - into software and data storage in an all-IP environment. The IP
environment provides a common bus to simplify process communications and ease
technology upgrade management. It provides lower and more efficient CAPEX or
the replacement of capital expenditure with predictable operating expenses, and
offers faster market-capturing delivery for new programs and channels, with
dynamic scaling response to changes in demand.
Vector will make its debut at NAB Show New York 2017, Globecomm booth N609,
being held October 18-19 at the Javits Center in New York City.
