SAM VIBE. Made for Sharing News consumption on mobile devices is growing relentlessly. Many consumers first engage with a news story either on a mobile, app or the web. An increasing number of under 40 s never watch broadcast TV news. The only way to stay competitive in the fast moving world of news is to be able to publish to multiple platforms simultaneously. That s what SAM VIBE is designed to do. We see breaking news on our phones or tablets first 2

SAM VIBE. Made for Sharing Everything, Everywhere All The Time! SAM VIBE allows a single production team to create and deliver quality news content and publish it to any platform in any format. The other new phenomenon the mobile world has thrown up is the citizen journalist. Individuals can now capture and share breaking news stories as they happen. SAM VIBE can capture any feed, in any format or aspect ratio, which can then be incorporated in to the latest TV news production or re-transmitted to other mobile devices, but this time with your branding and production values instantly. The requirements of television no longer defi ne the size, shape or format of media. SAM VIBE has to work with television, but remain technically independent. Quality Counts SAM VIBE s fl exibility allows customers to produce not only multi-format content for multiple different platforms, it allows that content to be differentiated by quality as well. Content destined for immediate release to mobile/internet channels can be turned around with the bare minimum of editing/creative input to ensure being fi rst with the story. Conversely, the same content can then have a high degree of creative input in preparation to being shown on the TV fl agship program all from the same content and the same production team at the same time.. All Inputs All Outputs One production team 3

Get to Air and Social Media in Seconds Designed to give the most flexible workflow possible, SAM VIBE allows you to scale the solution to fit with your own particular needs, but the basic steps are all the same: Acquire, Discover, Produce and Publish Flexibility Doesn t Have to Mean Complexity As a Producer, you don t need to know what type of storage you have, just how to access the clip you want. When you publish content you don t want to have to consider which different formats you have to confi gure for, just that the correct format arrives on the correct platform at the same time. Removing the complexity from the four basic steps allows your creative teams to concentrate on producing the best content they can faster than anyone else. Acquire Discover Produce Publish Workflow Management Layer Move Store Process Distribute Automated Workflow Examples Common tasks are streamlined which guarantees a consistent output. The handling of non-tv video content can be designed by the station s branding team and then applied automatically on output.

VIBE Creative Tools Quality defines your brand At the editorial heart of SAM VIBE is the editing platform Rio.

Rio will accept any format and publish to any format the choice is yours. The important part is that you get to decide who needs what in your workfl ow and can scale to fit it. Rio is a PC application, available for Windows 7 and Windows 10 But, I already have Adobe Premiere SAM understands that nobody operates in a vacuum and that customers will have incumbent/ legacy systems for editing. To accommodate that, Adobe Premiere can be incorporated into the SAM VIBE workfl ows. All source fi les, including growing ingests, are immediately accessible for editing with no requirement for downloading when used on a LAN. Completed sequences are rendered, using the Adobe Premiere platform s internal resources, and sent either to the servers for video playback or to the IT storage for fi le export. Publishing is via the same SAM panel. All published sequences are fl attened fi les, suitable for direct playback or export. Work-in-progress jobs may be saved via shared storage available to the Adobe workgroup. Other workstations may access and work on these projects. Utilizing the Go! functionality, Adobe Premiere can also be used for remote editing in the same way as Go! Adobe Premiere 6

Extensive PAM Tools When MAM s too much SAM s PAM fits the bill Implementing an enterprise MAM is one thing, we ve done a few of those, PAMs are a far easier proposition. Taking only what is required for the production workfl ow, SAM s VIBE utilizes the parts of it s MAM solution, Momentum, and applies them to fast news production. The PAM is key to creating fast effi cient workfl ows and looks after a wide range of processes: Ingest scheduling, router control and fi le movements. Transcoding including proxy generation and standards conversion. Render Engines creating fi nished sequences for the different output platforms. Momentum will manage the engines and share jobs between them. The Momentum bin shown within the Rio editing desktop. Media movements between storage systems, SAM and thirdparty components, publishing to external platforms, like social media. Media availability usage rights, lifetimes. User rights linked to the corporate Active Directory Archive movements to and from permanent storage solutions. To manage these processes SAM has created a simple, intuitive interface that allows you to create workfl ows on the fl y as well as being able to track the progress of of any piece of content within the workfl ow. Momentum workflows manage every aspect of the system Momentum workfl ow manager 7

Fully Scalable Server sq Server Where the magic happens The sq server has an important role in any system which requires real-time handling of video for ingest or output. sq server is a fully scalable platform which can run stand-alone in a pure video environment or as part of a hybrid storage solution in SAM VIBE. sq server mainframe. The sq server is the heart of any live production workfl ow. Incorporated into the VIBE workfl ow it brings the realtime processing required to capture, edit and publish live content in any format. One or more sq servers are managed by an Integrated System Architecture or ISA Manager. The ISA Manager directly controls the allocation of the attached storage to maximize capacity and data transfer rates. This allows the live capture and streaming capability of any system to be scaled as required almost limitlessly. In fact, sq is so powerful, it can playback multiple formats within a sequence, un-rendered, as well as mixed SD/HD within a timeline while supporting 16 audio tracks per channel. At the same time it also creates h.264 proxy fi les simultaneously with the full quality encoding! Native file formats supported AVC intra DVCPROHD XAVCi DNxHD DVCPRO 25/50 DV IMX 30/40/50 XDCamHD XAVC Class 300 (4K) All variants of the Rio editor may be connected directly to an sq server system.
