Omneon MediaDeck
The Omneon MediaDeck™ is a broadcast-quality video server designed specifically for broadcasters who need a cost-effective, easy-to-deploy platform for up to six channels.
The MediaDeck is an integrated version of the Omneon Spectrum™ media server, combining storage, system management, Gigabit Ethernet connectivity and video I/O modules in one convenient two-rack-unit package.
By leveraging the Spectrum architecture, MediaDeck combines mission-critical reliability with support for a complete range of broadcast workflows.
Cost Effective
The Omneon MediaDeck supports up to six channels of standard definition video I/O at
up to 50 Mbps, while at the same time handling IP-based file transfer traffic in and out
of the system. By delivering this high level of performance in a fully integrated system,
the Omneon MediaDeck establishes a new price-per-channel benchmark for professional grade multichannel media servers.
Video Format Flexibility
Omneon MediaDeck provides mounting space and power for up to two independent I/O
modules, which provide video encoding and decoding. Omneon MediaDeck I/O modules
currently include a three-channel SD unit and a one-channel HD unit. The system supports any combination of I/O modules for maximum flexibility, including mixing HD and SD modules in the same MediaDeck.
