Aveco, an enterprise focused in automation and MAM solutions for media companies, has recently announced availability of its ASTRA V core platform for its ASTRA Studio, ASTRA MCR, and ASTRA Ingest automation systems.
The platform is based on Linux and provides a system with IT technologies and security standards while expanding functionality found in previous ASTRA systems. ASTRA V runs virtualized (as well as in the public cloud) or on COTS hardware. It allows scaling automation capacity and the ability to spin up new workflows on demand.
ASTRA V systems include all existing interfaces and integrations, as well as the familiar and previous user interface. The tool is compatible with modern standards such as NMOS, compliance to EBU R 143 cybersecurity, and others.
Avecos’ development is currently in operation with initially selected media organizations.
“It is a versatile and robust platform that gives our automation products even better flexibility, scalability, and increased density, while retaining its real-time control performance,” according to Martin Mach, ASTRA Product Manager. “We are inviting all of our current platform users to migrate to the ASTRA V core platform to enjoy all of its new benefits.”
“As the latest generation of Avecos’ automation platform, ASTRA V manages the complete create-manage-deliver workflow for media companies,” said Pavel Potuzak, CEO of Aveco. “The unified ASTRA V GUI allows users to focus on their tasks, while operations in the cloud and/or on-prem are taken care of seamlessly and automatically by the tool. From automated baseband and file ingest, through news production, media transfers across cloud/ground boundaries, to the delivery of media to viewers via on air or online, ASTRA V is the media production platform that supports users now and into the future.”
This new release will be powering another solution showcased by Aveco at IBC on stand 2.B18.
The international exhibition and conference on telecommunications and technologies IBC 2022 will be held on September 9-12 in the Netherlands, Amsterdam, Amsterdam RAI.
