Dega Broadcast Systems Protects over 16,000 Live Streams at Rio 2016 with MatrixStore Object Storage
Cardiff, September 8th 2016. Object Matrix, the leading provider of integrated object storage to the media and entertainment industries, today announces that Dega Broadcast Systems, one of the UKs most trusted broadcast systems integrators, implemented over 500 terabytes of MatrixStore object storage to provide nearline storage in EVS and Avid workflows for the BBC Sports production centre in Rio De Janeiro this summer.
Following the successful design and implementation of the production centre for the London 2012 games, Dega Broadcast Systems were again chosen to provide systems and services for the 2016 Rio summer games. Working with partners HyperActive Broadcast, UK technical specialists in live broadcast environments, Dega required a nearline storage solution that:
Ensures content ingested via 9 XT3 servers and 15 EVS XTAccess transfer engines was guaranteed to be secure and verified .
36 High Definition streams
36 Proxy streams
Supports growing files so that clips can be accessed as they are being stored in the nearline solution
Shares content across teams.
Protects content from more than one workflow
Compliments their existing Avid ISIS environment
Given the high profile of the event Dega Broadcast Systems also a high level of commitment to support the solution during the design, test, implementation and during the games themselves. After much research working together with Hyperactive Broadcast, Dega decided to implement MatrixStore object storage from Object Matrix:
Object Matrix provided excellent support throughout the project and were very responsive to our and our clients, needs stated John Cleaver, Director, Dega Broadcast Systems.
The MatrixStore platform implemented by Dega Broadcast Systems at the IBC in Rio consisted of:
528 terabytes net of 10gigE connected nearline storage
4 Object Matrix high hub+ servers providing secure SMB access to the content
MXFS (MatrixStore file system) for 3rd party transcode workflows
The system delivered successful storage of over 16000 streams, nearly 3000 log sheets, over 1000 playlists, and almost 2000 competed edits. It was a pioneering use of MatrixStore in such a large fast moving and complex operation, and OM engineers provided both the responsive support and software enhancements that ensured the very demanding requirements were met.
Object Matrix object storage and integrated workflow solutions are trusted by the global broadcast community to protect digital assets in a manner that allows them to be protected, tagged and shared on demand. Providing highly secure and self-managing platform ensures customers can perform important, time critical tasks and not waste time managing storage.

We are incredibly proud to have been given the opportunity to play a part in the Rio games this summer and more so with the level of support we provided from the design phase through to the closing ceremony .
