BroadStream provides new broadcast HARBOR

At IBC BroadStream will unveil HARBOR, the Company’s new master control solution. BroadStream hopes HARBOR will deliver the resilience of discrete master control, enabling precision switching of live events while leveraging users’ existing investment in switchers and graphics systems. HARBOR integrates automation with closely-coupled media management, and central storage with ingest and playout.

HARBOR preserves current investment in playout components, such as advanced graphics engines and master control switchers. It can be economically migrated to an OASYS integrated playout solution and with BroadStream news solutions providing a unified end-to-end workflow and economies.

Ben Wolk, president of Sales and Marketing at BroadStream, said, “successful broadcasters know the future revolves around live shows and events to drive viewership and generate revenue. Broadcasters delivering live content depend on their master control solution to deliver dynamic schedule control, accelerated content workflows and high-end event-driven graphics.

“HARBOR is built on the exact same computer hardware platform as OASYS, so it can easily be reconfigured as a complete OASYS integrated playout system without swapping out any components. It’s an amazing transitional path that nobody else has.”
