Looking for robust playout & storage

Among the top values to which KCSM is committed, in addition to being a leading public television broadcaster, is the exploration and use of new technology to enhance the lives of its constituents.
With the goal of improving the services it offers TO viewers, KCSM planned to move its proven operational model into the era of digital television, HD and distributed media. 
In addition to boosting video quality from SD to HD, the upgrade was intended to eliminate costs associated with cumbersome tape-based workflows; streamline the production workflow through faster, easier media access; and establish an infrastructure capable of supporting the new distribution and acquisition formats of public broadcasting, local public television and the community college system.

KCSM gets results

The newly enhanced Harmonic media storage and processing platform at KCSM has enabled a shift away from videotape-based operations toward fully digital and HD-capable operations without the need to invest in a new server system.
The Harmonic platform, delivered by systems integrator Advanced Systems Group, is enabling KCSM to digitize its existing videotape library; to acquire, store and broadcast both SD and HD video; and to access all of its video assets much faster and with much greater ease and convenience.
In addition to providing a more stable, reliable and convenient solution for media ingest, storage and playout, the Harmonic platform has enabled KCSM to streamline its overall operation and significantly reduce the time and expense required to produce and take programming to air.
