We looked at how today’s production and asset management systems work, and then thought about

how they should work, and developed

STRATUS.

1

SERVICE-ORIENTED ARCHITECTURE How you work and the tools you work with have never been more integrated, that’s why we modeled the suite around the concept of a common framework.

• The core serves as a host for all modules.

• Functional modules are services called from the framework.

• New modules are easily created and more agile to deploy.

What this means is that you not only get high performance, you also get a highly configurable user experience.

2

TOTAL INTEGRATION & SIMPLICITY STRATUS does away with the old concept of separate, individual tools which can be hard to configure, and even harder to use.

• STRATUS is designed for simplicity. It’s easy to learn and easy to use, from the consistent user interface and common terminology among modules, to familiar drag-and-drop operations.

• For editing, STRATUS doesn’t care whether you use its built-in NLE, Grass Valley’s EDIUS®, Apple’s Final Cut Pro 7, or Avid’s Media Composer.

• Seamless integration with the K2 Summit™ family of media server and storage products to provide a unified database for all asset management use cases, channel record/playout functions, and an expandable foundation for new applications and workflows.

• When material is ingested, proxies are simultaneously generated in the K2 Summit server, and are instantly available, so you can get to work, and get to air, faster than ever before.

• Immediate playout of playlists, highlights, and simple edits without the need to render or conform.

BETTER TODAY... AND BETTER TOMORROW Once the STRATUS framework is installed on a client machine, you’re done.

• Software, configurations, and user preferences are pushed to the client over the network, with upgrades and new features coming right from the server.

• There’s no complicated hardware to support, and software maintenance is virtually nonexistent.

• With STRATUS, software maintenance is centralized, not localized. This means lower up-front costs and lower operational costs for the life of the system.

• STRATUS is backed up by a global network of skilled service engineers that are available 24/7 to maintain mission-critical products and systems.

In the real world, your tools shouldn’t define your task,

your task should define your tools.

STRATUS grows as your needs grow, task-by-task and piece-by-piece.
