CE Limitations, Benefits, Priorities

Major bottle neck is on the VOD side  Long form storage (archive and restore)  VOD scheduling and delivery  Remote ingest working storage (Source content pulling for a mid term storage)  1 Gig Bp-Lon connection

 Source storage as a buffer to pull Cineshare – Aspera etc  Remote ingest  Implementation of Operations report functions into the MAMs  Asset Delivery (vendors, playout, non-linear)  Harding FPA test for TX ready contents  System integrations

 Long Form Archive  Asset management  Receipt of Source contents to a buffer storage Integration (Vision)  VOD scheduling  Schedule driven multi platform transcoding  Automated Content Delivery (VOD, Playout, Studios etc)
