At its 2010 NAB Show press conference today, Omneon Inc. unveiled new components and enhancements across its product line, along with key production application partnerships, that further extend the Omneon platform to support a broad range of production workflows. These new product components and system enhancements bring new levels of price/performance and capabilities to its customers.

• A new Omneon Spectrum(tm) MediaDirector 2201 module delivers more channels and more IP bandwidth at the same price than the legacy MediaDirector 2102B model. This new MediaDirector is the second in the line of new MediaDirectors introduced last fall, offering industry-leading system bandwidth and price/performance


• The new Omneon MediaGrid(tm) ContentServer 2124 combines with the latest release of MediaGrid software, V2.3, to deliver industry-leading performance and exceptional cost-efficiency for high-bandwidth production workflows. The smallest Omneon MediaGrid system with just three ContentServer 2124 systems can deliver up to 1GB/sec in bandwidth, support up to 100 simultaneous Final Cut Pro(r) editors, and natively host transcoding and QC applications


• The company's Spectrum(tm) and MediaDeck(tm) System software release V6.1 adds support for the MediaDirector 2201 while contributing new capabilities including support for recording XDCAM(r) HD compliant with Sony's RDD9 standard


• Omneon ProXplore(tm) simplifies workflows by automatically harvesting and clearly presenting key metadata such as format, bit rate, resolution, and aspect ratio. Intelligent rules and notifications facilitate the movement of media through production workflows with minimal manual intervention, tracking content through its lifecycle and improving efficiency across the workflow. Using business rules built into the platform and using Omneon ProXchange(TM) for transcoding, ProXplore automatically formats content as required for the next step or user in the production workflow
