R&S®VENICE 2U - Brochures and Data Sheets

With the Avid® workflow option, Rohde & Schwarz VENICE enables fast and convenient workflows with Avid’s shared storage ISIS® and the production asset management Interplay®.

This document describes the hardware specifications, the supported video rasters and the signal inputs and outputs of the R&S®VENICE 2U.

R&S®VENICE is a future-ready, versatile ingest and playout platform for highly optimized broadcast workflows.

Studio Berlin placed vital Rohde & Schwarz DVS technology at the core of its production system and main control room. In order to produce major German TV shows like “The Voice of Germany” to a five million audience, the Rohde & Schwarz DVS systems are responsible for the complete production cycle: 12 channels of R&S®VENICE provide smooth ingest and playout along with transfer and transform operations for delivery.

When the University of Salford opted for a new campus on the MediaCityUK site at Salford Quays, they had in mind a campus with state-of-the-art technology specified by industry as well as future proofed for emerging creative technologies. A central MAM platform was to be at the heart of the newly established workflow while high-end Rohde & Schwarz DVS equipment was placed in strategic positions: Five R&S®VENICE ingest and production servers – providing a total of 20 channels – ensure reliable and flexible studio capture and playout. The infrastructure is also offering a solid foundation for the University’s future expansion.

TeleZüri, Switzerland’s most successful regional TV station, has switched from tape-based operations to file-based workflows. At the same time, TeleZüri was introducing HD as standard resolution in its workflows. High-end Rohde & Schwarz DVS equipment is placed in all strategic positions in the new production chain: The central storage solution R&S®DVS-SAN, one R&S® SpycerBox as reliable nearline storage and six R&R®VENICE video systems ensure reliable and flexible ingest and playout. The new infrastructure also provides the foundation for TeleZüri’s future expansion. As a result of the successful transition, TeleZüri now offers its services to the sports channel Schweizer Sportfernsehen (SSF), which is located at TeleZüri’s premises.

tpc Switzerland AG in Zurich contacted the Swiss systems integrator Jordi AG, asking them for a flexible and extremely fast storage platform for the tpc MEX ingest transcoding of alien codec/container media.

TVN, one of Poland’s biggest broadcasters, decided to re-arrange its technical equipment from scratch. The ingest and playout setup of its two major control rooms were especially questioned in 2013. The main challenge here was to find a new system that had exquisite multi-format capabilities.
