Pebble provides playout for SRF facility

 

Pebble Beach Systems Group plc (AIM: "PEB", "Pebble" or the "Group"), a
leading global software business specialising in playout automation and
integrated channel solutions for the broadcast and streaming markets.

 

Pebble is pleased to announce that over the summer it completed the
development and implementation of the playout functionality for Swiss national
broadcaster, SRF. The project involved collaboration with multiple vendors to
achieve seamless workflows in the all-IP environment.

 

SRF has relocated to purpose-built headquarters in Zurich. A key element of
the project is to take advantage of next-generation workflows and operational
practices by leveraging modern, standards-based technologies. The result is
one of the largest media environments using interworking SMPTE ST 2110
equipment in Europe.

 

Central to the new facility is secure and highly resilient playout of the
three premium channels in German-speaking Switzerland: SRF 1, SRF zwei and SRF
info. The multiple variants of these channels, to meet the needs of different
delivery platforms, are managed and played out using Pebble Integrated Channel
software devices, under the control of the proven Pebble Automation.

 

Vital to the project was the integration of the playout system into the wider
media and information flows across the IP networks. As content is required it
is pulled from central storage servers into the Integrated Channel devices. To
achieve this seamless integration, the whole environment uses the NMOS
protocol from AMWA as the interface.

 

This marks the successful conclusion of several years of work and showcases
Pebble's strong ability to problem-solve and deliver on customer needs. With
the successful go-live, a multi-year SLA has been established, ensuring
continued revenue to support and maintain the system in the years ahead.

 

Sally Wallington, SVP Sales at Pebble added "This has been a complex project,
with not only requirements and workflows developing along the way, but the
entire foundation of SMPTE ST 2110 and NMOS coalescing to give us the
practical tools we need for seamless interworking. Thanks to the
professionalism as well as the enthusiasm of the SRF engineering team, it was
immensely satisfying for us. Everyone from Pebble who worked on it sees the
new Zurich centre as a tremendous achievement and we are very proud to have
played our part."
