Manheim, Germany & Vicenza, Italy
SeaChange Broadcast MediaCluster (BMC) video server technology is at the heart of Soldiers Media Center’s worldwide broadcast network, which delivers programming to U.S. armed forces personnel stationed around the world. SeaChange managed the entire three-site installation and worked in conjunction with AFN engineering to integrate, install and commission the hardware and operational software systems while concurrently training Soldiers Media Center's technical and operational staff based in California, Germany and Italy.
“For the first time in military broadcasting history, Army programming can be sent instantaneously from one point to a central hub enabling the Army and the Department of Defense to inform our internal audiences faster than ever before. Strategically, the Soldiers Media Center can pass information from forward broadcasting organizations overseas in a timely manner, enabling the Army Public Affairs leadership to communicate more effectively and efficiently to Army senior commanders on stories and issues impacting their Soldiers and families stationed around the world. It is a fantastic communications capability for the Army.”

“The flexibility of SeaChange's broadcast video systems and its proven history of reliability made a logical choice as we evaluated how to best expand our play-to-air capabilities. The BML/MCL platform will allow us to meet our current needs and grow as future requirements dictate.”

SeaChange’s MediaLibrary/MediaClient architecture is transforming production and post-production workflow at TSR through universal shared storage for any device and any media file type in the capture, edit and playout chain. The platform is making more than 2,500 hours (at IMX50-MXF) of online storage available, enabling more cost-efficient and centralized storage without transcoding.
“The MediaLibrary/MediaClient architecture is the core of our new tapeless environment and delivers tremendous workflow gains by increasing interoperability between broadcast applications. We have been able to ensure that the exceptional performance of the storage server is extended to the overall solution through the high bandwidth transfer rates possible between the BML and EVS servers. We’re finally capturing efficiencies and new capabilities that were unimaginable working with tape, while gaining a fully HD-ready infrastructure.”
