Workflow Solution

• Sony XDCAM systems have emerged as the de facto standard for news production by broadcasters throughout the world. Sony XDCAM products have continuously promoted the development of file-based workflows, employing highly efficient MPEG-2 Long GOP encoding to enable rapid production and prolonged recording even at low bit rates. Now, Sony is also actively bringing its XAVC format corresponding MPEG-4 / H.264 Intra Frame and Long GOP encoding into the XDCAM product line—covering high resolution high-bit-rate high-frame-rate capabilities and low bit rate production extending the line’s usage into not only news production but also to TV program and commercial production. A new firmware upgrade adds XAVC support to the PMW-400 and PMW-300 memory camcorders, Sony is also working to further streamline XDCAM workflows in concert with the accelerated move toward file-based and networked-based implementations. Sony’s CBK-WA100 and WA101 wireless adapters enable network transfer and mobile viewing of proxy files, significantly reducing the time required to get time-critical location work on air. As its effort to offer a viable wireless workflow, Sony Media Cloud Services has built « Ci » a cloud-based video production and collaboration platform for professional content creators. Furthermore, Sony collaborates with Aframe and Forbidden Technologies, to accelerate fast, efficient, trust-worthy new workflow.
• And Sony’s Media Backbone Conductor boosts the efficiency of the entire workflow, with comprehensive support for ingestion, editing, and distribution processes.

New Products :

Archiving :

• Sony’s Optical Disc Archive System, launched in 2013, now offers a growing line of powerful devices that deliver reliable file-based solutions. Using 12-disc cartridges for storage, the system supports high-capacity volumes while leveraging the technology and reliability of optical discs. The system is an ideal solution for video archiving, offering high capacity and low-cost, eliminating hassles with tape and HDD assets, and ensuring long-term playback compatibility.

• Sony is collaborating with Dalet and Front Porch Digital to provide an enterprise MAM (media asset management) solution for TV Globo, Brazil’s major terrestrial broadcaster, who is deploying Optical Disc Archive as their main archive storage format. Plans call for expanding the system to additional TV Globo operations in coming years. Sony looks forward to delivering comprehensive solutions that meet TV Globo’s long term archive requirements. TV Globo was looking for a reliable and long lifetime media to archive their valuable entertainment programs such as novellas, series and shows.

• The US satellite and cable station owned by NBC Sports Group, « The Golf Channel » is also looking at Sony solutions. The station has already deployed a hybrid solution combining LTO (linear tape-open) tape storage with Optical Disc Archive. The station is planning a gradual migration to a full Optical Disc Archive system, to gain the benefits of superior long-term storage.

• In a similar development, The Weather Channel—another US satellite and cable station—has accepted and signed on to a proposal for an archive solution consisting of Optical Disc Archive library system with SGL software.

• Optical Disc Archive system has also been adopted by more than 100 customers worldwide and rapidly spreading into various industries like sports, finance, education, and government on top of broadcast and production.

• Sony’s new PWS-100TD1 tape digitizing server can facilitate the conversion of tape based assets into optical disc files. This server, powered by Sony’s original analytic software, monitors for errors during ingestion of VTR assets, and generates listings that enable efficient error resolution. The server enables easy conversion, and requires no specialized knowledge for setup or operation. It offers an effective and flexible solution for customers looking to move their assets into an optical disc archive.

• To achieve higher capacity and faster transfer speed in the 4K era, Sony is establishing a format roadmap of the Optical Disc Archive system. Utilizing the technology of « Archival Disc », a new standard for professional-use, next-generation optical discs, the 2nd generation of Optical Disc Archive will achieve 3.6TB capacity, with the 3rd generation achieving high capacity of 6TB. Faster transfer speeds, are planned due to the development of multi-channel laser heads. Optical Disc Archive guarantees inter-generational compatibility for long-term preservation of their asset.

Monitors :

• Sony’s professional monitor line up, OLED PVM-A series and LCD LMD-A series are lightweight, slim and robust, and now upgraded by a new free firmware version 1.1, enabling better camera connectivity and easy recall of user presets and reset. At NAB, camera metadata display and a picture-and-picture function will be demonstrated.

• Sony’s TRIMASTER EL monitors have been well received by critical users who demand professional-quality picture performance, resulting in total global shipments of more than 30,000 units to date.
