Following on from the succesful demonstration of the Avatar-m systems earlier this year, we will be attending IBC 2009 in Amsterdam.
Here we will be showing our latest technology and the improvements we’ve made since our last public demonstration.
If you have an interest in our technology, or wish to see what Avatar-m can do for your archives and storage systems then come along and pay us a visit at stand A 08e in Hall 7 (Map availailable here).
For the past few weeks now we have been trialling the ASTOR systems in the BBC’s R&D facilities in Surrey, testing the system against our array of network and storage analysis tools.
With the kit in situ at Kingswood Warren for the summer, it’ll be used to explore the potential use of this sort of technology in the BBC’s future deep digital archive. We’ll be able to expose it to our latest high definition workflows, and stress test it across simulated networks.
By the time the kit is boxed up ad hits the road for Amsterdam and IBC, the BBC will have put it through it’s paces and we’ll be a good deal further down the road to productisation.
We’re delighted to be able to show our new promotional film for the project here for the first time. Available to view on the Public Documents page, and hosted on Vimeo, our film introduces the business and technical challenges we’re seeking to address with the project, and technical experts from across the consortium outline the innovations they are bringing to the effort. We’d like to thank the guys at Milo Creative for their efforts on the film and designing the web site for us too.

We’ll have DVDs of the film available on stand SU7325, and the full HD version showing too (we hope!).
