New Wohler Products at BVE 2013:

RadiantGrid(TM)

The Wohler RadiantGrid(TM) New Media Automation Platform offers a highly efficient solution for file-based creation, standards conversion, quality control, and distribution of media while integrating with and augmenting trafficking, rights management, linear automation, and business-process management systems. At the heart of the platform is RadiantGrid's TrueGrid(TM), a robust media-transformation and parallel-processing engine coupled with an underlying content-management fabric that leverages intelligent media-processing functions to generate outstanding results at unrivaled speeds. Powered by this engine, RadiantGrid can manage everything from faster-than-real-time transcoding and standards conversion to more complex processing such as mixed-cadence correction, video optimization, and audio-loudness conformance.

New Additions to the DVM MPEG Video Monitor Line

Wohler will also be showcasing three new additions to the DVM family of video monitors, including the new DVM-5210, a 5-RU system with two 10-inch screens; the DVM-4290, a 4-RU system with two 9-inch screens; and the DVM-3270, a 3-RU system with two 7-inch screens. All of the DVM MPEG monitors provide convenient at-a-glance monitoring of program content from 3G/HD/SD-SDI inputs, and MPEG-2/4 ASI and Ethernet IP streams. The DVM broadcast-quality video monitors decode and display MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 signals via BNC or Ethernet inputs while giving users the ability to browse the PAT, PMT, and PID tables for each selected stream. In addition to MPEG ASI and dual-input 3G/HD/SD-SDI with loop-through, the DVM monitors also accommodate HDMI(R) video and audio with level meters, GPI, and tally.
