Harris Corporation Announces H-Class(TM) Intelligent Transport for
Next-Generation Rich Media Networks FOX Sports Touts Tight
Integration in Single-box Design LAS VEGAS, April 18
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Building on its commitment to the
advancement of content and service providers' rich media delivery
infrastructures, Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS) today announced
H-Class(TM) Intelligent Transport, a new solution from its
H-Class(TM) Content Delivery Platform. H-Class Intelligent
Transport enables providers to recognize live and file-based video
at the point of content contribution to the network and at the
point of content distribution to multiple devices or destinations.
Harris NetVX(TM) customer FOX Sports supports the distributed
broadcast- type system afforded by Harris' H-Class Intelligent
Transport. "The new fiber network connecting the FOX Sports
facilities is designed to take advantage of the ever-increasing
affordability of IP bandwidth for video transport. Harris' NetVX
platform provides us with high-speed, enterprise-wide networking
that improves our efficiencies in populating rich-media content
across our operations," said Jim Hopkins, senior vice president,
FOX Networks Engineering and Operations (NEO), a unit of Fox
Television. "Further, I am intrigued by Harris' holistic approach
to integrating content management and distribution processes. This
strategy dovetails with our intent to outfit our operations with
integrated solutions that manage the ingest, propagation and
delivery of content and metadata, while introducing automation to
eliminate redundant tasks." On the content contribution side,
H-Class Intelligent Transport integrates with H-Class Ingest and
Digital Asset Management to provide near-immediate recognition of
the digital media. On the content distribution side, it integrates
with H-Class Playout Automation and Digital Asset Management. At
Harris booth #C1907, Harris will display H-Class Intelligent
Transport's ability to deliver connectivity that supports
consistent, systematic workflow management across diverse networks,
geographic locations and facilities. The display will simulate how
a large, vertically-integrated media company moves content from
production to contribution to distribution to delivery, in turn,
underscoring how Intelligent Transport functions as a
vendor-transparent network solution. The demonstration will
showcase support for multiple devices at the distribution end,
including personal device assistants (PDAs) and laptop computers.
Intelligent Transport is comprised of two transport products: NetVX
for high-speed, IT-based network connectivity and DataPLUS(TM)
WAN-based media management for real-time capture, search, retrieval
and scheduling of digital assets, integrated with H-Class Ingest,
Digital Asset Management and H-Class Playout Automation. In such
applications, Intelligent Transport leverages the power of a
cohesive platform design to unify disparate processes into a
single, modular system that handles voluminous collections of live
and file- based content in varying formats for delivery across
multiple network types (e.g. fibre, wireline, celluar, satellite
and terrestrial). It also drives a range of DTV opportunities,
ranging from the basic terrestrial broadcast to a viewer's
television set, to the distribution of rich media to handhelds over
packet-based cellular infrastructures. "When observing the critical
stages of the content lifecycle, Harris recognizes how vital it is
to integrate a layer of intelligence with media transport for
managing new content the minute it is introduced to the
enterprise," said Jim Denny, vice president and general manager of
Harris Broadcast Communications Division's Networking and
Government Solutions business unit. "In keeping with this
philosophy, the H-Class Intelligent Transport solution ensures that
content providers and broadcasters can maximize the yield of their
existing network investment for new multi-channel services." About
