1 Facility Virtualization Bits on the Bay 2014

2 Last Year we spoke of To Address the More for Less Challenge CiaB Dramatically Reduces Total Cost of Ownership Reduced CAPEX Less Complexity Fewer devices Lower installation costs Less wiring Fewer point of failure Fewer vendors Less integration Reduced service costs Reduced running costs Power Cooling Space Maintenance Simpler upgrade Reduced carbon footprint Uptime better than %

3 Virtualization ( definition from vmware) The heart of virtualization is the virtual machine (VM), a tightly isolated software container with an operating system and application inside. Because each virtual machine is completely separate and independent, many of them can run simultaneously on a single computer. A thin layer of software called a hypervisor decouples the virtual machines from the host and dynamically allocates computing resources to each virtual machine as needed. More at :

4 Consolidated Use of IT Move to file-based or hybrid file/sdi technologies Move to IT-based broadcast hardware Move from hardware to software Move to virtualized systems Commodity IT equipment is cheap (relatively) Commodity IT equipment evolves at an incredible pace Commodity IT equipment is very flexible and easy to upgrade Commodity IT equipments allows users can exploit remote working effectively Commodity IT for compute is very powerful for a given footprint Commodity IT networking is not limited to port bound like conventional SDI Fast movement of very large files practical and available

5 Virtualization and the Cloud? Reduction in costs Hardware abstraction VM deployment is fast and reliable Simplified deployment and management of infrastructure and workflows Very scalable Facilitates services On Demand Cloud is Cap Ex Free Work from anywhere Disaster recovery

6 Virtues of Virtualized Systems Multi-channel Redundant Architecture Core services & operator GUI clients Rapid deployment of golden systems Less hardware, less space, etc.

7 Scalable 1 Load balancing and high availability Add nodes to increase performance Enterprise scalability Load balanced RAC cluster Load balanced application nodes and Web Services cluster Share tasks and load balance across all tools and devices Scale to thousands of users. Process thousands of files concurrently.

8 Scalable 2 Database scale for the number and size of asset data MAM Server scale for number of workflows and users Workflow Application Node scale for proxy, QC, and controlled devices Disk array Database, Proxies, etc. Appliance configuration Small Load balanced redundant cluster Load balanced redundant cluster Load balanced cluster for high proxy generation

9 Open Standards FIMS, BXF etc. The industry is pulling together to offer open consolidated software frameworks to promote interoperability and reusability of services FIMS Framework of Interoperable Media Services (EBU / AMWA) Media Companies deploying the FIMS framework can expect that doing so will promote interoperability and reusability of services. Consists of: Capture Transfer Transform Services in a consistent manner

10 Open Standards S to -6 SMPTE 2022 multipart standard. Various parts are signified by a dash after the standard number, e.g. SMPTE , and so on.

18 Demands on new algorithms SOA Scalable Multi platform (supports all common Operating systems) Open API s Open Languages (C++/Open CL) Support all architectures of hardware acceleration (AMD/NVIDIA) Flexible license model Ability to speed up transform services Integration with cloud services Intelligent workflow management

19 Image is Everything Benign picture building (less fractures) Improved adaptive deinterlacing Scalable algorithm (mobile to 4k, 12Hz 300Hz) Low frame rate conversion (23, 24 and 25Hz) Dynamic phase correlation Wavelet picture building What does this mean? Bigger motion ranges More accurate motion vectors Better fallback modes amazing images!
