Addressing the ins and outs
of Broadcast

Today's broadcasters are called upon to repurpose news and entertainment content to more different formats than ever before, for many forms of media distribution, storage and archiving. Harmonic’s transcoding solutions, powered by Rhozet technology and featuring ProMedia Carbon, facilitate fast, efficient output to multiple formats, from high definition to web to mobile.

Rhozet technology handles every major broadcast format. By using Rhozet technology to connect separate systems or standalone devices—for example, one manufacturer's NLE with another manufacturer's playout system—Harmonic solutions enable custom automation for complex workflows in broadcast environments.

Field reporters from around the world and even non-professional bystanders at newsworthy events are generating video and audio clips that may arrive at news agencies in a range of formats—NTSC, PAL or SECAM; from high-end production equipment, consumer camcorders or even cell phone cameras. Harmonic solutions support tapeless workflow, streamlining and speeding news production by ingesting content in any format, then rapidly transcoding it into the formats needed by news editors to produce time-critical programming.

Broadcasters who rely on Harmonic solutions include CBS, Comcast, Discovery Channel, C-SPAN, Cox, Fox, Lifetime, Time Warner, TiVo and many others.
