Pebble Beach Systems to launch Marina Lite automation at NAB 2014 27 Mar 2014
Leading automation, content management and integrated channel specialist, Pebble Beach Systems, today announced the launch of Marina Lite, a new automation solution which is optimized for small scale systems of up to 4 channels.
Marina Lite, which will be demonstrated for the first time at next month's NAB on Booth N1114, is based on the company's flagship Marina automation platform which currently controls in excess of 300 channels at leading broadcasters and service providers worldwide. This new solution benefits from Marina's sophisticated and configurable control layer, and is scalable from 1 to 4 channels and from 1 to 4 clients. Each configuration is available with fault tolerant options, such as 1+1 redundancy with fully automatic changeover.
Managing Director Peter Hajittofi explains further:
Marina Lite delivers world class automation, at an affordable price. Developed to meet the needs of the broadcaster with low channel counts, it is based on the proven and resilient 64-bit client-server architecture of our enterprise level Marina automation platform, and is capable of controlling traditional legacy products as well as emerging solutions - such as integrated channel technologies - within video, IT and hybrid infrastructures. One of Marina Lite's major strengths is its highly intelligent and flexible playlist, which has the ability to control highly reactive channels with frequent late scheduling changes. We're excited to be able to offer this best of breed performance to broadcasters with low channel counts.
Marina Lite has drivers for over 20 third party devices, and interfaces to many popular traffic systems, including Myers ProTrack via BXF. Automatic caching from nearline storage to the playout devices is also provided. Systems can be upgraded from 1 to 4 channels, and if the number of devices to be controlled should grow, or the channel count needs to increase, the entire system can be upgraded to the full Marina enterprise solution.
In addition to the launch of Marina Lite, Pebble Beach Systems will also be showcasing:
New configurations for the award-winning self-contained Stingray channel in a box.
Stingray leverages Pebble Beach Systems' core automation and server technology to deliver a full HD ingest and playout solution. The system provides multi-format playback with mixed formats on the same timeline, and is now scalable for systems from 1 up to 6 channels, with redundant versions available for each configuration.
DolphinIP integrated channel device
Developed to meet the needs of broadcasters who wish to move away from traditional SDI-based infrastructures, the DolphinIP integrated channel device delivers an MPEG2 and H.264 stream over IP (TSoIP). This adds full resolution IP delivery to the Dolphin range, and complements the IP monitoring output capability which the standard Dolphin already offers.
MARLIN pre-render graphics workflow
Marlin is a powerful pre-render graphics workflow tool for Marina automation which leverages the power of Adobe After Effects CC. By managing the advance generation of complex promos and captions on this widely used Adobe graphics platform, and storing the resulting file as a video clip for playout, Marlin reduces the dependence on dedicated 3D graphics playout hardware, simplifies graphics workflows and lowers the processing demands on playout devices.
Lighthouse monitoring by exception
Designed to alert operators clearly and unambiguously to upcoming events that need their attention, Lighthouse is the new tool for Marina automation which monitors by exception. The dedicated user interface gives a clear indication of potential issues across multiple channels, displaying, for example, missing media alerts, or timing and overlap anomalies. With more channels being controlled by fewer operators, Lighthouse maximises the opportunity for errors to be detected early and safeguards the smooth playout of all channels.
