MLB Network Expands with Miranda Routing Technologies

05/03/2014

MONTREAL Miranda Technologies has completed a router expansion at MLB Network that includes Nvision enterprise class routing with fiber inter-connectivity throughout the production workflow.

Located in Secaucus, N.J., MLB Network's file-based HD production and distribution facility houses a modern IT-based infrastructures and associated digital file-based workflows. The facility not only serves as the HD production and broadcast center for MLB Network, it provides MLB Productions with the ability to meet post-production and archival needs.

As part of its requirement to manage a greater amount of content moving forward, and upgrade the facility to 3 Gb/s, MLB Network has added additional Nvision 8500 Series routers, equipped with fiber optic connectivity, to its workflow that was already managed with Nvision routing. The expanded system now includes two Nvision 8576 (576 x 1152) and one Nvision 8280 (288 x 576), with fiber tielines.

When our all-HD facility first went live in January of 2009, our infrastructure was supported at the core with a Miranda Nvision 8576 router. It served not only as the fulcrum of our production environment, but master control and all broadcast elements, said Mark Haden, vice president of engineering and IT at MLB Network. At the time we thought we'd never need another router, but rapid expansion meant that we found ourselves needing more sources and destinations than we ever could have imagined. The most important thing to us is that we didn't have to decommission the 8576 we simply added another one. We're still using the original router, which is the beauty of the Nvision routers.

The original Nvision 8576 now serves MLB Network's operations functions while the new Nvision 8576 is dedicated to production. Both are linked via Miranda fiber optic, bidirectional tielines, including a third Nvision 8280 router that now sits at the heart of the network's distribution function.

The direct lines of fiber connectivity that link MLB Productions and MLB Network via Nvision routers have substantially streamlined the ability to move, manipulate and manage high quality content between the two.
