[Satellite TODAY 01-31-13] Teleclub, the largest pay-TV operator in Switzerland, announced it has added two Harris NEXIO server systems to its facilities in Volketswil near Zurich to support high definition in its sports and drama channels, signal processing and workflow systems.

   The largest of the two NEXIO server systems has been allocated to sports, and includes 19 four-channel Harris NEXIO AMP servers providing a total of 76 HD channels. NEXIO Farad shared storage incorporates Harris’ patented Intrinsic Mirroring functionality. On a sports weekend, Teleclub can record up to 36 HD channels simultaneously. An extension to the NEXIO edit-in-place capabilities developed by Harris allows Final Cut Pro editors to work on growing files as they are recorded, and create instant highlights packages for halftime and after the matches.

   The second server system contains six four-channel NEXIO AMP servers, also with NEXIO Farad storage. It will be dedicated to the drama channels.

   The project also includes Harris Invenio Motion digital asset management software, which allows users to design and automate custom workflows. It also ensures that all databases needing access to content and metadata on the two new server systems are maintained in synchronization without manual intervention. An extension to the existing Harris ADC automated content management and distribution system controls transmission from the new servers.

   The installation also includes the Harris Selenio media convergence platform, which provides Teleclub with automated signal processing and logo insertion. The Selenio integration helps to control and supervise baseband video and audio signals throughout the facility.
