New DSP-Based Studio Platform

A revolution in high-end video hardware over the next few years will replace dedicated digital equipment with fast, reprogrammable computers. The advantages of high speed computers are compelling, including pay-as-you-go scalable architectures, single-reprogrammable-box replacements for multiple dedicated boxes, and the ability to utilize the profusion of high quality, low cost personal-computer graphics programs to enhance video productions. Mercury Computer Systems, with a decade of systems design experience in high speed parallel computing, is building a state-of-the-art real-time multiprocessing video platform for broadcasters and high-end studios.
