Our video servers are leaders in the market
The BLT SMS-AV1 production server is designed to meet the most demanding live broadcast production requirements, integrating all new formats and protocols from HD to FullHD 1080P, SDI.
It is available in two 1U rack-mountable form factors: the ultra-compact half-rack-width SMS-AV1 model, and the full-rack-width SMS-AV1x version, which includes enhanced features such as a redundant power supply for increased fault tolerance.
SMS-AV1 guarantees an unmatched level of control and precision and offers a boosted capacity of up to 6 (4 Rec 2 Play) channels of HD (1080i or 1080p), making it the most compact system on the market in based at his dimension, 1 rack unit half size.
While continuing to support SDI environments, SMS-AV2 offers native support for SMPTE 2110 allowing for a smooth transition to IP workflows.
SMS-AV1 is designed to output either HD, UHD in any I/O setup, and in both IP and SDI environments. Its support of the widest range of codecs make it able to upscale 1080p to 4K for UHD playout, rolling out workflows tailored to your specific needs from the same server.
The Remote Unit System is specifically optimized for the professional end-user to provide the fast and efficient interface necessary for live sport applications: clip mark and management, sequences, playlists, highlights, multicamera, networking to share clip datas and more over. It is designed to unleash the advanced capabilities of BLT video server, while keeping it’s user friendly operating characteristics.
The storage capacity of the SMS 4U is based on an SSD array of eight 2,5 inches SATA disks, internal and removables. Disks are managed in RAID 5: the scattering of the parity information makes all disk equal Parity information scattered on all disks,allow the reconstruction of one faulty disk whatever it is. The operating system can be mirrored on the RAID storage and work in case of OS disk fault. (This is a user configurable option)
Upscaling/Downscaling/Transcoding/File Ingest- Import/Export
A powerful internal gateway allows you to import content from any network source or USB interface using all high-quality codecs. It is done upscale or downscale where required. Multi target operations in real time without the aid of external controllers but only using the software included in the server’s interface
BLT provide a rich network connectivity over 1 Gbps and 10Gbps as well as Optical 10Gbps SFP+. All ports are double and can work in teaming or main and backup redundancy.
Thanks to the control of our servers over IP and the operation of all our software over all traditional networks, you allow us to apply any type of remote production.
Productions where all the signals are brought to the broadcast center but the operators may not be present for reasons of space or other causes (COVID etc)
REMOTE models where operators are present in the broadcast center controlling servers still existing/installed on a truck
REMOTE models where operators are not present in the broadcast center but they are controlling servers still existing/installed on a truck from home (or any other location)
Reverse operation where the operator located on the OB can control a remote server playback located in the Broadcast center
BLT developed this technology 4 years ago and these products have reached their technical maturity and offer high production reliability. All hardware and software tools are shaped to meet those needs.
