Grass Valley shows off new workflow

San Francisco, CA —Grass Valley is demonstrating to attendees how they can cost-effectively deploy intuitive, file-based workflows to help produce a wide variety of live sporting events in various high-definition resolutions as well as 3D, at the SPORTELMonaco 2011 conference, held on October 10-13 at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco.

Grass Valley will highlight the K2 Dyno replay system and the K2 Dyno Production Assistant (PA) system operating in tandem with a Grass Valley MediaFUSE content re-purposing and multi-distribution system to display video-on-demand (VOD) images on mobile units, such as Android-based portable devices. This system will help content distributors support a multi-screen strategy that brings content to subscribers when they desire.

With the Grass Valley K2 Dyno PA application, operations personnel can create metadata categories off-line in advance of an event to tag critical information, such as names and relevant event action types. This content-based metadata can be easily distributed and imported as XML data on a USB drive to all Grass Valley K2 Dyno systems.

Clips can be given text names, while metadata can be added during the event along with ratings and searchable key words. In addition, all metadata created can be saved along with the content and re-used for different purposes. Content stored on a network can be viewed and aggregated into different bin types and sent to removable storage or network destinations using K2 Dyno PA’s automated transfer rules.
