New Metadata Initiative Ensures Intelligent, Automated Delivery and
Assured Transactions CINCINNATI, Aug. 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
In support of workflow efficiency and new service provisioning for
broadcasters and content providers, Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS)
will showcase its H-Class(TM) Content Delivery Platform for moving
and managing content from the time it is created to the time it is
distributed to multiple consumer devices, at IBC 2005 (Harris
Broadcast Communications Division: Hall 8, Stand 8.291, Amsterdam
RAI). (Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20050830/NYTU041
) The H-Class Platform is a scalable, standards-based,
enterprise-class platform that supports a highly integrated set of
software applications. Through intelligent use of metadata, the
H-Class Platform is the first solution of its kind to provide a
layer of intelligence that enables media and entertainment
companies to automatically transfer content with associated
business rules for greater efficiencies, assured transactions and
increased profitability. "By providing a consistent, structured and
well-specified development environment, organizations can -- for
the first time -- realize the dream of integrating their
applications across the digital supply chain with the common thread
of metadata linking business functions with operational mandates,"
stated Jeremy Wensinger, president of Harris Broadcast
Communications Division. "The H-Class Platform is committed to
enabling business agility for enhanced productivity in the rapidly
changing media landscape, while simultaneously lowering total cost
of ownership and creating new revenue opportunities for our
customers." Demonstrations in the Harris stand will show delivery
of revenue- generating services -- such as mobile video, IPTV,
high-definition (HD) television and video-on-demand. H-Class(TM)
Content Delivery Applications Suite will demonstrate the unique
ability to manage and transport content from ingest to consumption
via multiple, simultaneous multi-format delivery streams delivering
content to different receiving devices such as personal digital
assistants (PDAs), mobile phones and personal computers (PCs). The
H-Class Platform demonstration will illustrate multiple and
distinct stages in the broadcast workflow, including media ingest,
play-out automation and transport. The new H-Class(TM) Media
Business System will be shown sharing traffic, billing, and program
scheduling rules with these applications as content moves through
the digital media supply chain. The H-Class Platform demonstration
will show support for: - Integration of the current 'physical'
world of tapes and libraries with digital business - Multiple,
simultaneous multi-format delivery streams - Transport of metadata
down- and up-stream in the workflow process - Integrated
cross-departmental workflows - Dynamic changes to an active program
schedule According to In-Stat, a leading market research firm and a
division of Reed Elsevier, forecasts predict a 45 percent
cumulative annual growth rate in worldwide revenues for IP-based
video delivery connection services, increasing from $346 million in
2002 to $2.2 billion in 2007. In-Stat reports that an increasing
number of subscribers and increasing average revenue per subscriber
drive the growth. Harris understands that realizing this market
opportunity requires that media and entertainment companies achieve
more acute control over their content in order to protect the
intellectual property rights of the owner, enable complete and
accurate billing for the use of content in commercial applications,
deliver to the appropriate consumer appliance, and ensure quality
of service. The H-Class Suite provides a means for integrating many
disparate media business processes into a modular system. That
system moves content through the broadcast workflow in a consistent
and intelligent fashion by interpreting and acting upon the
metadata associated with the content. The H-Class Platform solution
features applications that reside on, and interact with, a rich
service layer to facilitate database abstraction, secure routing of
content, and most importantly, meaningful business transactions.
The H-Class(TM) service layers include: Database Services, Workflow
Services, Platform Services and Open Services. The initially
targeted H-Class Suite includes: Media Business Systems, Digital
Asset Management, Media Ingest, Play-out Automation and Intelligent
Transport. These applications leverage the H-Class Platform,
allowing an operator's business to be integrated and scaled across
the various hardware systems throughout the network. An affiliated
H-Class Alliance Program makes it possible for service, software,
content and hardware providers to integrate to the Platform and
enable their offerings to benefit from the platform's content
delivery capabilities. About Harris Broadcast Communications
