ZOND 265 Incorporates the Netflix VMAF Metric for Quality Estimation
The new edition of HEVC video analyzer Zond 4.1 incorporates the Netflix VMAF metric for quality estimation.
TOMSK, Russia (PRWEB) April 05, 2018
Solveig Multimedia, a leader in video editing and customizable multimedia, announces a new edition of its Zond 265 – HEVC Video analyzer, version 4.1. Solveig Multimedia and its partner nablet will showcase the new software and functionality at NAB Show in Las Vegas on April 9–12, 2018 (booth SU13713).
For over five years, Zond 265 has been the best-in-class tool for analyzing the 'High Efficiency Video Coding' (HEVC/H.265) standard. SolveigMM empowers software developers with a HEVC bit stream analyzer – instrumental to design and implementation of H.265-compliant codecs. The software reveals NAL information, frames types, frames sizes, time stamps, decoding/display order counters, bits distribution between frame elements, coding units data and more details.
Zond 4.1 now supports the Netflix's Video Multi-method Assessment Fusion (VMAF) metric for quality estimation. The software leverages VMAF to compare an original YUV file with a preloaded video file. Correlating with human perception, this metric enables more precise video assessment after compression. Since relying on manual visual testing at all times proves unrealistic, VMAF attempts to address the issue by utilizing samples from Netflix content to help design and validate the algorithms.
The latest Zond edition comes on the heels of a major update – version 4 – that greatly expanded the product’s compatibility matrix. The novelties of Zond 265 v4 encompassed· AOMedia Video 1 (AV1) codec support in WebM format
· MPEG-2 codec support as video elementary stream
· Twitch and YouTube streaming of game sessions or video blogs
· HEVC Screen Content Coding Extension (SCC) support, and more.
Pricing and availability
The new Zond 265, ver. 4.1, is available for purchase at Solveig’s website starting at $1390 excl. VAT (per single user license).

Hemp, Inc. Endorses Allen Chesser for Congress, Supports His Vision for Hemp and Veterans
SPRING HOPE, NC, April 05, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hemp, Inc. (OTC PINK: HEMP), a global leader in the industrial hemp industry with the largest multi-purpose industrial hemp processing facility and mill in the western hemisphere, announced today that the Company endorses Allen Chesser for the nomination for the North Carolina 2nd Congressional District.
Allen Chesser, a 32-year-old Iraq war veteran and former law enforcement officer from Louisburg, supports hemp legislation and increased supports and services for veterans. Chesser filed on Sept. 23 to challenge Rep. George Holding in the 2nd District. The 2nd District includes parts or all of Wake, Harnett, Johnston, Franklin, Nash and Wilson counties. Hemp, Inc.’s 85,000 square foot industrial hemp processing facility and mill are located in Nash County. The North Carolina primary will be held on May 8, 2018.
“While Hemp, Inc. does not support any particular race, creed, party or religion, we strongly support Allen Chesser’s political platform. Based solely on Chesser’s platform, we are endorsing him and his run for Congress because he supports two issues that strongly align with our Company’s values and mission: the federal legalization of hemp and increased services for our nation’s veterans,” said Hemp, Inc. CEO Bruce Perlowin. “His bold vision to support the industrial hemp industry and focus on bringing new sources of revenue to North Carolina farmers who are desperately hurting for a new cash crop is what we need on Capitol Hill. Allen appreciates the incredible amount of new business and job opportunities the legalization of industrial hemp will provide for our farmers locally and nationwide. In addition, his support of our veterans aligns closely with Hemp, Inc.’s commitment to give back to those who serve.”
As part of its commitment to make America “hemp again” and give back to the veteran community, Hemp, Inc. and strategic growing partner Veteran Village Kins Community Arizona, Inc. began development on the Veteran-Village Kins Community in Arizona approximately 5 years ago. Kins Communities are designed to grow hemp and produce cannabidiol (CBD) products to benefit veterans and to generate revenue for Hemp, Inc., the Veteran Village, and the individuals living on the land.
Hemp, Inc. announced Oct. 24^th that Veteran Village Kins Community Arizona, Inc. completed its final site plan blueprints for its 500-acre site in Golden Valley, Arizona (20 miles north of Kingman, AZ and 90 minutes from Las Vegas, NV). The site plan includes a 100,000 square foot GMP compliant, central processing plant, CBD testing laboratory, and various health and wellness centers to support veterans who may have psychological, emotional or health issues. To date, 44 percent of America’s homeless are veterans. Twelve percent of that group are combat woman veterans with children. Twenty-two veterans commit suicide every day.
Hemp, Inc. Announces Strategic Hemp Growing Partner "Veteran Village Kins Community Arizona, Inc." Completes Final Site Plan Blueprints
Hemp, Inc. has previously announced that its strategic growing partner, "Veteran Village Kins Community Arizona, Inc.," has completed its final site plan blueprints for its 500-acre site in Golden Valley, Arizona (20 miles north of Kingman, AZ and 90 minutes from Las Vegas, NV). The site plan was submitted to the Mohave County Building Department for final review. The Company is also in the final stages of completing the necessary infrastructure to support an off-grid, renewable, energy system. The remainder of the solar equipment is expected to arrive in the next few days, completing the site's solar power operation.
Dwight Jory, the Project Manager for the "Veteran Village Kins Community Arizona, Inc.," said, "We are very happy with the progress. Our Kins Community is really beginning to come together." In anticipation of planting to begin during the spring, 300 acres have been fenced, 16 overnight trailer park sites are under construction, and six 40x40-ft organic vegetable gardens are ready for seasonal planting, according to Jory. As for the 6 geodesic domes mentioned in an earlier press release, 1 is structurally complete with only the electrical and plumbing to be completed. The rest are on site awaiting final site plan approval. "We are now accepting volunteers who have expressed an interest in helping to build the first Kins Community for our veterans," said Jory. Those interested in making the first hemp growing CBD-producing "Veteran Village Kins Community" become a reality should contact Ms. Sandra Williams via email (swilliams@hempinc.com).
One thousand trees, on 36 of the 500-acres, have also been planted, with an additional 1,000 trees on order. The "Veteran Village Kins Community" site plan also includes a 100,000-square foot GMP compliant, central processing plant, CBD testing laboratory, and various health and wellness centers to support veterans who may have psychological, emotional or health issues.
Hemp, Inc. and "Veteran Village Kins Community Arizona, Inc." began development on the "Veteran-Village Kins Community in Arizona" approximately 5-6 years ago. Kins Communities are designed to grow hemp and produce cannabidiol (CBD) products to benefit veterans and to generate revenue for Hemp, Inc., the Veteran Village, and the individuals living on the land. Each 2.5-acre lot is designed to be self-sustainable, with 1 acre allocated to grow hemp and other areas for an organic garden, natural bee-hives, a living fence, a pond, a family tree and other elements that make up a "Kins Domain."
To learn more of what a Kins Domain is, click here. Volunteers who want to help build America's first "Veteran Village Kins Community" can contact Ms. Sandra Williams via email (swilliams@hempinc.com).
"As Hemp, Inc. positions itself on the forefront of America's industrial hemp revolution, we see our partnership with 'Veteran Village Kins Community Arizona, Inc.' being paramount in supporting the small family farm movement that we are confident will reshape the American landscape," said Perlowin. "As we work toward getting our eco-village up and running in Arizona, we are also aggressively scouting strategic locations in other states including North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee and West Virginia. Giving veterans and other Americans a place to learn new skills and take part in this multi-billion-dollar hemp CBD market is very exciting. It's a big part of our mission to give back."
It is going to be a busy 2018 for cannabis expos and conferences domestically and internationally. Below is a running list of some of the events taking place in 2018.

Paintscaping Creates Projection for Cardi B’s Controversial Limo Scene with Offset
Rap Superstar latest to use powerful tool
LOS ANGELES (PRWEB) April 05, 2018
It may be the most watched scene in Cardi B’s stunning new music video “Bartier Cardi.” In the video, the rap superstar gets quite intimate with her fiance Offset, in the back of a limo. That, only days after some alleged cheating by the Migos member.
Just another day at the office for projection mapping company PaintScaping, who handled all the rear screen projection.
“It’s a throwback to the technique used in the 50s,” notes Philippe Bergeron, CEO of PaintScaping, ”it’s much better than post. It’s visceral. It’s real. It’s great for the talent.”
PaintScaping is no stranger to high-profile music videos. They’ve created the elaborate projection mapping for “This Is What You Came For,” by Calvin Harris ft. Rihanna. At almost 2 billion views, it is one of the most viewed mappings in history.
The clip, featuring Rihanna in a cube projected on all faces, was helmed by superstar director Emil Nava. “Projection is an amazing tool for music videos. We can use it to build more elaborate narratives, and it also gives the artist something to react to in the moment,” notes Nava, who has directed many A-listers, including Ed Sheeran and Jennifer Lopez.
Strategically located in LA, ground zero for many music video shoots, PaintScaping and Bergeron are quickly becoming the premiere company for high-end projection mapping. Music heavyweights Eminem, Kelahni, John Legend, Rod Stewart, Queen Latifah, VH1, MTV, and Katy Perry, have all benefited from Bergeron’s knowledge, whose background includes acting (Sopranos, Iron Man 2, Entourage) and CG.
Alex Pacion, the NY-based production designer behind many of these iconic music videos, notes: “Philippe is a master, and nothing scares him.”
But there’s also another aspect to projection that makes it extremely attractive to production companies. It’s efficient.
“More and more, recording artists today like Cardi B are required to come out with videos very quickly after a song is released. Projection is the perfect solution to cut the long process of CG post-production,” continues Bergeron.
Bergeron’s work with musical talent is not limited to videos. He’s mapped the closing scene of “Breaking Through,” a film by executive producer and nine-time Grammy Award winner John Legend.
And Bergeron consulted on Katy Perry’s latest perfume ad, “Indi,” featuring projection on faces.
“Cardi B may be the newest artist to use projection, but she certainly won’t be the last. This technology is here to stay,” concludes Bergeron.

Smart City Networks and LTN to provide fully managed broadcast services from Convention Centers across the US
SAVAGE, Md., April 05, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Meeting planners and event attendees can expect a new service at conventions and conferences; an easy and reliable way to broadcast video. LTN Global Communications, Inc. (“LTN”), the global leader in broadcast quality IP video transport solutions, has partnered with Smart City Networks, the nation's leading provider of telecommunications services for the meetings and conventions industry to provide LTN services within Smart City managed convention facilities.
Smart City provides a wide range of technology services at 39 event facilities across the continental US and Hawaii.
“Smart City continues to look at ways to enhance the client experience at our partner facilities by partnering with LTN to provide a cost-effective and simplified process for broadcast/multicast video transport as opposed to traditional satellite truck solutions,” said Terry Funk, Director of Business Development at Smart City Networks.
LTN is outfitting a limited number of Smart City facilities with LEAF appliances during an initial rollout phase, prior to full deployment. These units will provide low latency MPEG 4 HD encoding and decoding along with access to their fully managed multicast network.
“We are truly excited to be opening up Smart City’s highly popular facilities to event producers and coordinators who want to connect to traditional broadcasters as well as digital and social media platforms,” said Chris Myers, EVP, Business Development at LTN. “LTN’s partnership with Smart City will provide seamless video transport services along with the other telecommunications services, with simple one-stop booking and coordination.”
According to Myers, “Until recently, it has been expensive and time consuming to bring in legacy satellite and optical fiber transmission to facilities like these. Smart City is simplifying the process to get your message OUT or bring your speakers and remote guests IN to these conferences.”
To learn more about LTN and the LTN LEAF appliance, visit them at The National Association of Broadcasters 2018 convention (NAB), at Renaissance Las Vegas Hotel Suite #1430.

Blackloud, Tempo Semi & Silicon Labs Collaborate to Announce Industry’s First Headsets Offering FM Radio without Internet Connectivity or Smartphone FM Chips
Blackloud SOUNDOT AF1 & CF1 allow consumers to listen to their music or FM radio on smartphones or tablets even without embedded FM chips
AUSTIN, Texas (PRWEB) April 05, 2018
Blackloud, working with design partners Tempo Semiconductor Inc. (TSI) and Silicon Labs (SLAB) who provided turnkey audio design solutions, will announce its SOUNDOT AF1 (for iPhones and iPads using the Lightning interface) and CF1 (for devices with USB-C / USB Micro interfaces) headsets at the NAB Show (booth N6220) being held in Las Vegas April 7 – 12. With dedicated iOS and Android apps and their own FM reception chip, the headsets not only provide premium lossless sound quality for everyday listening, but also free access to FM radio anywhere in the world, even if the smartphone lacks an embedded FM chip or has one that isn’t activated, or if the user is without Internet (Wi-Fi or 4G/LTE) connectivity.
Listening to FM radio using an FM chip embedded in a phone or in these new headsets, instead of over the Internet, saves valuable mobile data and battery life. Further, in times of crisis when cell towers fail and / or networks are overloaded, FM radio can be a lifeline to emergency information.
Blackloud SOUNDOT AF1 and CFI headsets:
The headsets feature patented psychoacoustic technology, a six-band customizable graphic equalizer, 3D stereo effect, dual dynamic driver design, inline microphone, and a control box with a volume up (+), volume down (-) and multifunction (pause/play) button. This multifunction button enables many actions depending on the app that is running, including: answer / hang up a phone / video call, start / stop recording or playback using most any audio / video / camera app, enable / disable / seek up / down the FM tuner, and lastly, activate Siri or Google Assistant.
The accompanying apps let users control the digital FM tuner (seek previous / next, tune to exact station, save any station to one of six presets) and adjust DSP settings (six-band graphic equalizer, psychoacoustic bass and treble enhancements, 3D sound effects) to user preferences.
“Having a comprehensive technology solution from Tempo and Silicon Labs cut our time to market and let us focus on the aesthetics, patented mechanical design, acoustics, fine-tuning our dual dynamic driver design and developing user-friendly iOS and Android apps for the SOUNDOT headset family,” said Mr. Yen, executive vice president, Blackloud.
Tempo Semiconductor and Silicon Labs collaborated on turnkey audio design solutions:
Tempo leveraged its headset reference designs (for Apple® MFi™ Lightning and USB-C) to incorporate the FM reception chip (Silicon Labs Si4705 FM / RDS digital radio tuner) into the SOUNDOT control box. Tempo also supplied complete schematics and layout reference files, customized microcontroller code for the Tempo TSCT8x Audio Hub Controller, a high-efficiency TSCS25xx premium 32-bit audio codec with integrated DSP, and reference iOS and Android app source code. Silicon Labs also supplied its brand new CP2615 USB Audio Bridge for the CF1.
“Consumers no longer have to worry if their mobile phone even has an embedded FM chip, or whether it’s been activated,” said David Grant, director of marketing for Tempo Semiconductor. “They can now enjoy free FM radio on all Android and Apple Lightning devices.”
“By enabling free access to FM radio, Blackloud’s new headsets provide an invaluable service to listeners everywhere who may not have Internet connectivity,” said Juan Revilla, marketing director for Broadcast Products at Silicon Labs. “We’re proud to help enable this broadcast radio innovation by collaborating with our ecosystem partner Tempo and providing best-in-class digital radio tuners and USB audio bridge chips.”
Pricing and Availability:
Taking advantage of its presence at the NAB show, Blackloud on April 7th will begin taking pre-orders of its SOUNDOT AF1 and CF1 for US $59.89, or about 25% off the list price of US$79.89. The pre-order special will last all of April, and applies to orders placed both at the show and online at https://www.blackloud.com from customers worldwide. Initial units, which will be red, are expected to ship as follows: AF1 on May 7th and CF1 in June. White and silver options will become available later this summer.

WeedTV will launch on its proprietary mobile apps within the next few weeks and will soon thereafter follow with its extensive web platform that offer a major marketing tool for the cannabis industry. Concurrent with the release of the new platforms, WeedTV will begin to release nine original series that are already completed and total 340 individual pieces of content and/or episodes. Under the leadership of PNTV Board Member Michael Berk (Creator and Executive Producer of Baywatch and dozens of Hollywood films) and Andrew Orgel (co-founder of MTV, Nickelodeon and Arts & Entertainment) PNTV is excited about its original programming lineup. Although PNTV has, for months, hosted a simple video engine at weedtv.com, it has not yet actively promoted or monetized its content while awaiting development of the full, proprietary platform which hosts valuable data-mining capabilities, geo-location services, point-of-sale integration, and many more features.
Marijuana Accelerator has provided great synergy to PNTV’s other lines of business and has entered dozens of agreements that management expects to become highly valuable over the course of the next few years.
PNTV management has been actively engaged in strategic planning and positioning and will produce a 2017 Annual Report to shareholders in the next month. In addition, PNTV will soon launch a new version of its corporate website and showcase the talented staff it has been fortunate to attract while also providing more access to information that may interest shareholders.
PNTV CEO Mark Bradley stated, “I am truly excited about our future and believe the groundwork we have laid at PNTV and the amazing staff and expertise we have been able to assemble will position us as the premiere marijuana company listed on a U.S. exchange. When I look around at the extraordinary talent we have been able to assemble, I am truly humbled. I believe that will be the factor that sets us apart.”
PNTV CFO and former Nevada Assistant State Controller Geoffrey Lawrence said, “We continue to execute on our business strategy while also remaining flexible and exploring new opportunities as they arise. It’s gratifying to see the growth and progress we’ve made with each line of business and we have been very aggressive about expanding our portfolio of marijuana licenses. As we begin to monetize WeedTV this year and harvest our own marijuana, we project to be able to turn our first quarterly profit by the end of this year. Complications can and do arise from time to time, but given that we realized our first marijuana revenues in May 2017, turning a quarterly profit within just 18 months would be a truly enviable accomplishment for any business.”
Bradley later continued, “Even though I recognize that investor enthusiasm across the entire marijuana industry seems to have declined in the past few weeks, we continue to focus on building long-term shareholder value and believe we are poised for tremendous growth. Fortunately, savvy investors will recognize that depressed share prices in the marijuana industry right now creates some great opportunities. Marijuana stocks to me strongly resemble the dot-coms of the 1990s; at some point, investors will recognize the difference between the hyped companies and the ones building solid business fundamentals. We are focused on differentiating ourselves as a company grounded in fundamentals and capable of generating significant return on equity. Many of those details will be outlined in our annual report.”

American Green’s New Subsidiary, Delta International, is Expected to Invest Heavily in Nipton and Other American Green-run Projects
PHOENIX, AZ and NIPTON, CA, April 05, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- * **American Green, Inc*. (ERBB:OTC) is pleased to announce that American Green has received certificates representing 160,000 shares of Delta International Oil and Gas (OTCQB:DLTZ) Series A Secured Convertible Preferred Stock.Furthermore, American Green will deliver certificates representing 1,000,000 shares of Nipton, Inc. (100% of the equity of Nipton, Inc.) to Delta today, and as a result Delta holds title to all of the properties in Nipton acquired by American Green in 2017.
American Green now holds more than 82% of the equity/voting power of Delta. Delta will be operated as a subsidiary of American Green and we will be consolidating Delta’s earnings on our financial statements.
As a fully reporting public company, Delta can access a different investor tier to raise capital utilizing registered offerings, as well as the private placement structures that American Green has utilized in the past. This hybrid of capital-raising is expected to result in less costly capital and less overall dilution for American Green shareholders.
By raising capital through the sale of equity, Delta’s assets will grow and eventually be able to qualify for exchange listing, opening additional opportunities for capital, and, as a consolidated subsidiary, American Green’s book value will grow concurrently with Delta’s, increasing shareholder value.
Delta intends to register up to $5,000,000 of non-voting preferred stock on Form S-1 in order to fund future development in Nipton, and other projects, including, first and foremost, the consolidation of any properties, mostly already under contract, of any real value in the Ivanpah Valley in which Nipton is located. Expanding from there, Delta plans to capitalize on any opportunities for projects that present themselves. Some of these may include the National Preserve, the Bureau of Land Management and, potentially, San Bernardino County, in order to ensure that our consolidated interests in Nipton are protected, and enhanced, while establishing and maintaining strong relationships with the relevant authorities, as well as any other interested parties that desire to see the area improved and the area’s natural beauty preserved.
Beyond the real estate already in the queue, most anticipated infrastructure projects will fall under Delta’s purview, with a strong focus on those projects that can provide the largest increase in shareholder value. While both American Green and Delta strongly believe that cannabis and industrial hemp represent a better future, both for Nipton and the Nation, being located within a short distance of two very large metropolitan areas, Nipton can support myriad other legal uses beyond cannabis and hemp. Those uses can include solar energy, transportation infrastructure, manufacturing and data storage. Nothing is off the table, and many projects remain on the drawing board, all of which will, of course, comply with all State and County requirements.
Until a prospectus can be completed, registered and approved for sale by the SEC, Delta plans to offer accredited investors the opportunity to purchase up to $1,500,000 convertible debt, having already secured commitments for no less than $500,000.

*About Delta International*
On April 2, 2018, in exchange for shares of our common stock, Delta International Oil and Gas purchased from American Green its subsidiary Nipton, Inc., a California corporation, the assets of which are comprised of all of the real estate properties included in the unincorporated township of Nipton, California (“Nipton”). Nipton is located near the Nevada border a short distance from Rte. 15, the principal highway between Los Angeles and Las Vegas.
American Green, Inc., now our controlling stockholder, is the second oldest publicly-traded cannabis company in America and has participated in nearly all facets of the cannabis market. Delta’s management’s intentions are for Delta’s Nipton, Inc. subsidiary to act solely as a property developer and lessor for companies in the medical or recreational cannabis sectors in the State of California, including such initiatives as the transformation of nearly-abandoned towns (such as Nipton) into "cannabis-friendly" destinations. It has been American Green’s vision (and now, Delta’s vision) to use Nipton, California as a revitalization model for other near-deserted small towns across America while retaining as much of the town’s and region’s natural charm, a directive that is paramount to American Green. American Green will remain under contract with Delta to manage the Nipton Asset and Project for 10 years.

Dating Innovator Launches “Living Profiles”, an Animated Video First from Dream Connections
Dream Connections Raises the Bar for Premium International Online Profiles with Animated Video Feature.
LAS VEGAS (PRWEB) April 05, 2018
Online dating is not showing signs of waning interest, but the nature of impersonal profiles that consist of photos and text continue to tell more flattering stories that the actual people they represent.
“We are known for developing personal relationships with the men and women who come to us to find a life partner and creating genuine relationships,” says Mark Edward Davis, founder of Dream Connections, and international matchmaking and singles event and romance tour company. “We have a unique opportunity to capture more of the essence of each person in their profile by creating a new video animation feature we call, “Living Profiles””.
The new Living Profiles feature an animated video instead of a photograph, which gives a superior way to communicate the personality and essence of the real people using our services. See a real-time example here: http://www.dreamconnections.com/ladies/allgifs.php
“Customers can now search for just the Living Profiles in our database and see all of the thumbnail images with active videos,” Davis declares. “It is our goal to have 85% of our database as Living Profiles. This is how people can get a sense of one another before meeting.”
Truly from experience, Mark Edward Davis, founder of Dream Connections, met and married his Ukrainian wife, Anna Davis, in 2006 through the international online dating process. In the years that followed their introduction, Mark wrote a book on international dating and both have appeared on multiple cable TV shows, The Dr. Phil Show, The TODAY Show with Matt Lauer, and more.
“We aspire to create something that is truly focused on helping good men and women find happiness together, providing the necessary process, training and understanding to enable success,” Anna said. “Our aspirations have been realized through the Dream Connections brand where our success rate for matching couples has set the standard in the industry."
The results speak for themselves. They have helped nearly 300 men and women become married and none are divorces to date.

About Dream Connections

International marriages can be richly rewarding and provide a lifetime of joy and satisfaction. Dream Connections has taken the best concepts, from traditional romance tour programs that bring hundreds of happy couples together, added one-on-one personal coaching, and created an enhanced experience in Eastern Europe, Asia, and South America to connect individuals with the person of their dreams – together at last. Statistically, Dream Connections has the highest success rate of all international romance tour companies. However, the process for meeting and establishing relationships between countries requires much planning, knowledge and understanding. Reported by PRWeb 27 minutes ago.

Quobyte Eliminates Content Silos with Modern Hyperscale Storage Software for M&E Collaboration
Parallel distributed file system challenges industry incumbents to match its massive scalability, blazing speed, and fault tolerance while minimizing administrative resources across unified storage
SANTA CLARA, Calif., and LAS VEGAS (PRWEB) April 05, 2018
Quobyte® Inc., a leading developer of hyperscale storage system software, announced today the availability of Quobyte’s parallel distributed file system to meet the performance, scalability, and collaboration challenges of the Media & Entertainment (M&E) industry. Quobyte executives and technologists will be available to demonstrate and discuss implementation of this game changing storage software during the NAB Show April 9-12th, 2018 at the Las Vegas Convention Center in booth SL8726.
For broadcasters, studios, and post production facilities facing continuing budget constraints and manpower reductions due to industry consolidation, Quobyte is uniquely leveraging hyperscaler technology to unify file, block, and object storage. Each person in the workflow, whether on a Mac, Windows, or Linux machine can access the same rich media asset with standard industry software applications or a Media Asset Management (MAM) infrastructure. This allows Post Production, Visual Effects, and Playout workflows to dramatically reduce administrative overhead while providing secure data integrity for collaboration across the entire workflow chain.
“Increased collaboration and productivity for both end users and administrators is at the heart of Quobyte’s unified storage access architecture,” said Björn Kolbeck, CEO and Co-Founder, Quobyte. “Quobyte provides a single scalable storage platform for seamless collaboration through a local, wide area, or global network. This eliminates needlessly copying, exporting, transcoding, and uploading files between systems and platforms in post-production and VFX workflows. Videos can also be stored in any format for playout, streaming, and CDN origin storage.”
The Quobyte software is self-managing and self-healing, freeing administrators from the labor-intensive task of monitoring the data integrity of their ever-increasing storage environment. The system continuously monitors and detects hardware failures, operator errors, network partitions, and disk corruption. End-to-end checksums protect all file data, metadata, and communications, providing superior data integrity and eliminating the need for hardware and software RAID controllers. “The system installs in minutes, new hardware is found and provisioned automatically, and the built-in fault tolerance and rebalancing of resources, enables 24/7 operation with no need for human intervention,” continued Kolbeck. “We haven’t found the limit yet for how much storage one person can administer with Quobyte software, but an organization is more likely to add a person for organizational rather than for capacity or storage management reasons. That’s a win-win for all.”
“With ever larger amounts of data to manage and with fewer personnel resources, IT managers and CIOs are looking for solutions that allow them to manage more data without greater costs,” added Tom Coughlin, President of Coughlin Associates and publisher of the annual Digital Storage in Media and Entertainment Report. “Solutions such as Quobyte's distributed file system with automated data handling can help IT professionals cope with ever growing content assets.”
Concluded Kolbeck, “Our teams’ experience allows us to bring hyperscale performance, self-healing, and scalability optimized for commodity servers to the M&E industry. Quobyte is utilizing its considerable expertise to help solve the industry’s formidable performance, capacity, and collaboration challenges brought on by complex and difficult to integrate ecosystems, increased pixel depth/frame rates, and the evolving IP-video landscape.”

About Quobyte
Building on a decade of research and experience with the open-source distributed file system XtreemFS and from working on Google’s infrastructure, Quobyte delivers on the promise of software defined storage for the world’s most demanding application environments including High Performance Computing (HPC), Media & Entertainment (M&E), Life Sciences, Financial Services, and Electronic Design Automation (EDA). Quobyte uniquely leverages hyperscaler parallel distributed file system technology to unify file, block, and object storage. This allows customers to easily replace storage silos with a single, scalable storage system — significantly saving manpower, money, and time spent on storage management. Quobyte allows companies to scale storage capacity and performance linearly on commodity hardware while eliminating the need to expand administrative staff through the software’s ability to self-monitor, self-maintain, and self-heal.
