Ho Chi Minh Television Upgrades to MTX

19 November 2015

HTV has chosen to upgrade their older Seachange server to the new MTX CIB technology, in a complete Tapeless system.

After several years with ETERE, Ho Chi Minh Television Station (HTV) in Vietnam has upgraded their Seachange servers to a new system based on MTX.
ABOUT MTX
MTX is an application offered by Etere to drive the most popular digital video/audio/graphics editing platforms without using any middleware or additional programs. It is not an external product and is configured in Etere programs itself. The Automation Media Manager Ingest automatically locates and uses MTX resources. By combining the professional effects technology of industry standard codecs with an Etere system, you will be able to capture both high (HD) and standard definition (SD) formats over digital input, mix in real-time all types of footage on a timeline with more layers and/or effects, as well as parallel multi-format ingestions.

The software will allow broadcasters better integration with playout devices at a lower cost, offering them a cutting-edge product with outstanding performance, complete support and most importantly, unbeatable quality and value for money. Furthermore, some of the features of the HD-enabled software include:
■ Real-time Up and Down converter
■ Aspect ratio converter
■ SD and HD back to back playout
■ AFD information insertion
■ Single price for SD or HD

MTX offers a fully automated content analysis and verification system that meets all QC needs required in production, post-production, broadcast and distribution environments. The upgrade includes the expansion of file archives which ensures the easy storage of older files and enables users to build on their storage. HTV has also upgraded the HSM system that will now manage up to 500 LTO5 slots. Last but not least, MTX comes with Etere transcoders, an embedded software that gives HTV complete control of the station's video assets. The transcoders check asset locations and ensure that devices use the correct paths to connect to devices.
