Media Pool — Flexible Video Server Design for Television Broadcasting

It appears to be an accepted fact that disk-based video storage systems are viable solutions for broadcasters to store and play video in their facilities. One of the more accepted disk-based video products in the broadcast facility is the video server. There are various approaches and technologies that manufacturers can use to build servers. All of these design decisions and trade-offs contribute to various video server architectures to address the task of delivering program content and commercials. The Media Pool video server offers a unique architecture and flexibility that leverages disk bandwidth and system modularity to provide a system capable of multiple full-bandwidth ITU-R 601 streams, system scaleability, and standard industry interfaces — protocols to integrate the system into a facility.
