U-Share is a network management system for content contribution or occasional broadcasts, automating the exchange of video and audio data from a source site to one or several destination sites.

 
 

 

Designed for broad-casters and/or Telecom operators, U-Share is a software package designed in a modular fashion.
U-Share uses the latest transmission technologies: the computer transport network IP (in asynchronous mode: FTP) and/or video (DVB Digital Video Broadcast in synchronous mode). The user-friendly interface of the U-Share system workstations ensures fast and efficient handling by users.

 

Acquisition

 

The U-Share video acquisition module automatically digitizes all types of feeds. U-Share remote- controls the various channel equipments (coder, decoder, VTR, server, grid, time code generator, and so on).

  • Automatic scheduled or immediate feed acquisition.

  • Digitization from VTR, an SDI source or ASI source.

  • Video server control.

  • Integrated simple video editing tool (Clean Cutter).

 

 

Scheduling

 

U-Share's exchange scheduling module allows the scheduling (Booker) of each exchange from a site to one or more receiving sites (source site, destination sites, start date/time, duration, and so on).

  • Permanent display of video resources of all networked sites.

  • Three transmission modes: live (priority transmissions), sequential mode (fixed latest transmission time and duration) and remote loading (overnight transfer).

  • Immediate flexible modification or cancellation of transmissions at any moment.

  • Automated exchange and acquisition scheduling.

  • Instantaneous reservation of transmissions.

 

Exchange

 

During an exchange (or transmission), all equipment for the sites involved in the exchange (transmitting site, receiving sites) is auto-matically piloted at the beginning of the exchange, during the exchange and at the end of the exchange.

  • Multipoint and point-to-point transfers.

  • Live transmission of events.

  • Temporary exchanges from mobile production units (SNG).

  • Transport in synchronous (DVB) or asynchronous mode (FTP).

 

 

Bandwidth management

 

U-Share optimizes the exchange of video and audio content through autonomous and automatic management of its transport network. For each transfer request in a given time slot U-Share offers the best solution considering network congestion, thus considerably reduces transfer costs.

  • Display of all past and future transmissions.

  • Modification of transmission timing by simple drag & drop.

 

 

Flexibility

 

Thanks to the use of the IT standard and its architecture based on a database engine, U-Share is modular and upgradeable.

  • Easy integration with existing systems.

  • Easy connection with other applications (Integrator).

  • Adaptability to all types of material.

  • Adaptability to all types of transport networks (satellites, ATM, radio relay links, ADSL, and so on).

  • Possibility of adding new equipment.

 

 

Protection

 

  • Control and maintenance of equipment (VTR, player, recorder, grid, coder, decoder, modulator, demodulator, commutator, TimeCoder).

  • Access rights for each user, each site in the same contribution network.

  • Operation in Normal / Backup / or Safe Mode.
