Revolutionary
audio mixing core is first to run on COTS servers, delivering unprecedented
flexibility and cost savings to broadcast studios and OB trucks
IBC (Booth 8.D60), AMSTERDAM— HARMAN Professional Solutions, the global leader
in audio, video, lighting and control systems, including networked AV, today
unveiled the Studer CoreLink Card, the world’s first broadcast audio mixing
core to run on commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) servers. Featuring a standard
PCIe short format, the all-new CoreLink Card removes the need for custom
hardware, leveraging the processing power and hardware that already exists in
many broadcast studios and outside broadcast trucks. For broadcasters faced
with producing the highest quality content on limited budgets, the Studer
CoreLink Card provides unprecedented flexibility, scalability and serviceability—all
while dramatically reducing costs.
“As the broadcast industry approaches an era of change, budgets are
getting tighter and broadcasters must find ways to do more with less,” said Katy Templeman-Holmes, Director of
Solutions & Marketing for Hospitality and Broadcast, HARMAN
Professional Solutions. “By
taking dedicated hardware out of the equation, the Studer CoreLink Card employs
the latest technology to reduce costs, increase efficiencies, and pave the way
for the future of our industry.”
With the new the Studer CoreLink Card, customers can select COTS servers
independently, allowing them to remain consistent with the rest of their
infrastructure and save time during set-up, configuration and maintenance. Since
COTS servers are general in purpose and much less expensive than custom-made hardware,
the Studer CoreLink Card enables broadcasters to leverage existing servers
within their facilities or purchase readily available servers with the required
processing power.
The CoreLink Card offers broadcasters incredible scalability as their processing
needs grow. If more processing power is required, customers can simply replace a
COTS server at a fraction of the cost of replacing the entire system.
Furthermore, the Studer CoreLink Card is available with a flexible licensing
plan that enables customers only pay for the number of channels they use, and
purchase additional licenses when more channels are desired without making any
changes to existing hardware.
For broadcast studios and broadcast trucks where space and weight are at
a premium, the Studer CoreLink Card offers broadcasters the flexibility to
choose the size of the housing server. In facilities with tight space
requirements, the CoreLink Card can be placed in a compact server, resulting in
massive processing power in a small form factor.
The Studer CoreLink
Card is compatible with:
- Studer Vista Infinity consoles
- Studer Virtual Vista
- Studer Vista
- Studer Vista Compact Remote
