Featured Webcast: Moving News Faster (9:30AM EST)
Presented by: Michael Koette, Vice President of News Technology Planning & Development for CNN

This one-hour presentation looks at improving workflows in the newsroom. Attendees will learn how this news network moves news faster, with fewer errors — and with lower staff count than ever thought possible. If your news people feel overworked and under-supported, you may find solutions in this exciting presentation.

Broadcasters and film and television producers face the common challenge of transporting HD video content reliably and cost-effectively. Whether they need to transfer video between production studios or from an external venue to the production studios, the key considerations include signal integrity, cost and operational simplicity. The need to preserve the original signal quality is often addressed through the use of tapes and disks to exchange information back and forth between various post-production locations. While efficient in maintaining signal quality, it is a rather tedious, costly and time-consuming process. Read this white paper to learn about a highly reliable, scalable and flexible optical platform that addresses the specific requirements of native digital video transport.

In a data-hungry world, an enterprise’s archiving infrastructure has become mission-critical. Data-intensive industries, such as media and entertainment, government, life sciences, oil and gas, and satellite imaging, need economical ways to archive vast amounts of data—and to easily offer secure, high-performance access to that data when it's needed.

This white paper will assist non-engineering broadcast professionals in making critical decisions during the transition to 100% HDTV programming. Not since the transition to color nearly a half century ago has the television broadcast infrastructure experienced such a dramatic shift in technology. Because of the vastly increased bandwidth requirements of HDTV signals, fiber optic technology is certain to play an expanding role in program production at all levels – ENG and SNG included. This white paper is written for broadcast professionals who are involved in electronic news gathering (ENG) or satellite news gathering (SNG) in any capacity. This includes executives and management at the network and station group level, as well as station managers, news directors, field producers and on-air reporters at the local station. Most engineering personnel will likely be familiar (or at least should be) with the basic technical content; however, this white paper may be of value to them as a refresher, and as an update on new developments in fiber optic applications for broadcast.

The data center needs to reduce its total cost of ownership (TCO) for its data retention infrastructure. It must contain costs, manage data growth, improve the data retention process, and make it more efficient. Unstructured data is often the core data asset in an organization’s work flow and is inherent in revenue generating operations.
