Pebble Beach Systems has secured a contract from Intigral to provide Marina automation and eight channels of its Dolphin integrated channel technology as part of a new ingest system for the Dubai-based digital media distributor.
This project will see the first deployment of Marina driving PBS Dolphin technology in the UAE. The installation supports ingest from tape and live sources and allows for scheduled records. Ingested media is recorded via SDI onto Dolphins internal storage via eight ingest ports, which allow up to eight concurrent ingest jobs, and in parallel onto external Isilon storage. Operators can select codecs and wrappers from within the Marina user interface, and monitor both video and audio during the ingest process using Marinas IP output. In addition to the ingest client workstations, the system also offers two high-resolution clients for viewing, trimming and segmenting the ingested material.
Once ingested via SDI, the files are delivered into Intigrals IP workflow for distribution to regional telecommunication operators.
Speaking about the installation, Pebble Beach Systems Region Manager for the Middle East, Samir Isbaih, said: This is a complex requirement for a highly innovative customer, and this installation illustrates the power and scope of the Marina Dolphin ingest proposition. As demand for IP services increases, we are committed to offering intelligent solutions which adapt to changing formats and workflows, and the system at Intigral showcases this flexibility.
The solution is being supplied via systems integrator Tek Signals, and is due to be commissioned in the near future.
