Abstract: In this paper, two DVCPRO based server systems will be discussed that are targeted at either the small to medium station and the medium to large station. System 1 Digital News Automation (DNA System) DVCPRO News Automation (DNA) is a digital Client-Server end-to-end solution for news postproduction and distribution. To increase production efficiency and maintain digital production quality, native files move between clients and server at faster than real time. The broadcast server offers multiple incoming and outgoing video ports for playback to air or recording from sources, and easily replaces aging robotic playback units or multiple manual load VTR's. Media files maybe quickly distributed to clients on the network for simultaneous use. The server can feed multiple distribution channels to maximise production assets. System 2 8 Channel Server with Non-linear cuts editing and Networked Non-linear editors. The AV-SS500 8 Channel server is designed to be a very cost effective and versatile DVCPRO based server. The server can have a number of different ways of editing and outputting material:- Direct record and then editing the material on disk with a “virtual EDL”. This allows cut editing in a non-linear mode without the need to transfer material to a workstation Editing tape to disk with a standard linear editor. The VTR acts as the player, and the disk acts as the record VTR. Transfer material to a non-linear editor such as Panasonic Dvedit or Quick Cutter. This allows for real-time 2 stream video effects to be added. These non-linear systems allow direct to disk recording for very fast editing. With Quick Cutter, 4x faster than real time transfer to disk is available from its internal VTR. Files can be transferred on a network using 100 Base-T or Giga-bit Ethernet. Remote Terminal software allows control of a channel from a remote location. This control includes standard VTR features. The server can also act as a virtual VTR, with features such as slow motion, shuttle, play and record etc. With both of these systems, because they use DVCPRO compression, can transfer video/audio files with other manufactures equipment, allowing for an open system.
