New Technology Platforms - Disruptive Pricing Models

Earlier this year Pixel Power launched two new technology platforms that are disrupting the world of virtualized and software-only solutions: StreamMaster Media Processing and Gallium Workflow Orchestration.

While you may have heard the names StreamMaster and Gallium before its because these were the two original names we gave to products that are deeply embedded in our playout and automation solutions launched two years ago. The two new technology platforms deliver flexible and powerful feature sets and product combinations for broadcasters moving to cloud and virtualized solutions.

The disruption is not only in how you configure the solution that's right for your business but in how you want to pay for the feature sets within it. Ultra flexibility across feature sets is the key that enables us to help you to help your customers create exciting and new television businesses.

StreamMaster Media Processing enables broadcasters to execute processing functions to media content. Running on COTS hardware on premise, in a data centre or the public cloud. StreamMaster Media Processing enables authoring, transcoding, logos/graphics manipulation, content rendering, real-time master control or real-time graphics and DVE delivery.

Gallium Workflow Orchestration enables broadcasters to execute workflow tasks with media content. This enables a broadcaster to automate content to play out at selected times, automate addition/removal of graphics, branding or logos, prepare content packaging for the regionalisation/localisation of content according to the business demands.

In addition, each of these platforms has functional blocks within the platform that can be delivered as different combinations. We have already made some of these combinations available as separate products that deliver specific functions. For example our Factory product uses the rendering engine and the audio block from StreamMaster Media Processing and also uses the Business Logic, Versioning, MAM and Monitoring/Control blocks from Gallium Workflow Orchestration.

This delivers a versatile solution that allows you to produce Video On Demand assets automatically or creates multiple versions of promo assets automatically.
