Harmonic Spectrum X Advanced Media Server

Flexible & scalable playout server system

You can do it all and more with Spectrum™ X. Combine your file, baseband and transport stream ingest with integrated channel playout capabilities. You’ll have graphics, branding, DVE and live switching of baseband and compressed IP sources all in one server. Store and deliver your channels based on your business needs with Spectrum X.

The server systems come in several sizes to accommodate small to large channel counts and can adapt to storage capacity needs.

Integrated channel playout in all systems

Integrated channel playout functionality is present in all Spectrum X products. Signal chains that used to require multiple pieces of equipment can be collapsed into a single Spectrum X server.

Reach new levels of efficiency

Integrated functions are onboard graphics, master control switching, playout automation, subtitle insertion, audio mixing, delay service, audio watermarking and much more.

Transition to IP workflows

By integrating SDI and IP I/O on the same chassis, Spectrum X also eases the migration to IP playout workflows, allowing broadcasters to transition away from baseband at their own pace.

With Xeebra®, officials or video operators can easily review a given action and select the most relevant angles on the system’s intuitive touchscreen or with a dedicated controller. They can zoom in with a simple touch-and-pinch gesture to review every angle in detail - quickly, efficiently and in complete synchronization. The highly flexible system is designed to be used across multiple sports and deployed wherever it needs to be, whether on the sidelines, in a venue production control room or a remote officiating facility.
  • Review in perfect synchronization
    Xeebra’s flexible client interface allows you to view multiple camera angles, with synchronized, browsing of content from up to 16 HD cameras. You can narrow your view from all 16 to four, two or full-screen views through simple touches.
  • See inside the action
    Xeebra supports the ingest and browsing of high frame rate (SuperMotion) cameras, just like professional EVS broadcast servers. This ensures that officials not only see the key action but also view and analyze angles with greater clarity and detail than possible with the naked eye.
  • Save time with FIFA certified virtual offside line
    No more need for time- consuming pre-game setups. Xeebra integrates machine learning technology to automatically calibrate the field of play and produce a virtual offside line in real-time. Having successfully completed FIFA’s Quality Programme for Virtual Offside Lines (VOL), this innovative technology highlights the accuracy and consistency of the EVS solution.
  • Zoom in for a better look
    Xeebra’s easy pinch and zoom capabilities allow users to get a closer view of the captured action. Zoom in on a single-view image or select side-by-side views for close-up comparison of different angles for particularly tricky decisions.
  • Place the system where you want
    Do your video referees prefer to be seated alongside the field rather than in a technical truck? Through Xeebra’s flexible server/client architecture, referees can sit wherever they want within the stadium while the server equipment stays tucked out of sight.
  • Make the most of your analysis
    Reviewed plays are valuable for post-game analysis. You can define the content you want to take away from match situations. The ability to export a Situation Report with metadata and audio, in a convenient and consumable format, is invaluable.
