Versio is a powerful integrated playout solution used worldwide by media companies from small, single-channel to very large, multichannel environments and master control operations. It combines the best of the world’s automation, branding, graphics, file server, storage and master control capabilities in an entirely software-based environment.

Versio simplifies the creation and management of channels and enables media companies to extend their brands and content with more freedom, visibility, and control than ever before. With Versio at the heart of channel-enablement, broadcasters and media companies are able to accelerate new services and improved operations that include:

  • Specialty and popup channels
  • Market expansion via rapid channel launch
  • Hyper-localized content and advertising
  • Business continuity and disaster recovery
  • Reduced infrastructure
  • Virtualized and streamlined master control

As a truly integrated, 100% software-based, and fully IP-enabled solution, Versio provides a disruption-free transition to the future of channel launch by enabling the widest variety of playout applications across flexible deployment models including:

  • Premises – traditional, on-site channel-in-a-box deployments with baseband/SDI connectivity
  • Hybrid – hybrid IP/SDI deployments
  • Virtualized/Cloud – private data centers or public cloud deployments, supporting all media types including baseband, SMPTE 2022 and compressed

Details

Versio is a software-only video-processing platform that performs all necessary functions for traditional master control, as well as for emerging linear distribution networks.

Thriving in any operational environment, Versio can be run as a traditional integrated channel playout device with SDI I/O, in a hybrid SDI/IP deployment, or in the data center with IP I/O. In the data center, Versio can run on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware or, for increased flexibility, on virtual infrastructure running VMWare.

In the IP domain, Versio can receive and transmit MPEG-2 transport streams or SMPTE ST 2022-6 for applications that require extremely low latency.  When paired with external J2K or TICO compression, SMPTE ST 2022-6 enables remote operations that can be managed across the world with very low latencies.

Powered by Zenium
At the core of the Versio technology is the groundbreaking Zenium platform.  Zenium is a platform for building smarter virtual applications and services.  Its open architecture fosters a third-party ecosystem of best-in-class features built on a completely modular platform and enables seamless portability between environments —from appliance to datacenter to cloud.  Zenium enables media companies to easily create custom solutions, adapt more quickly to market dynamics and deploy new services with unparalleled speed, reliability and flexibility.

Automation
Because Imagine Communications has automation as its foundation, Versio can interact with a vast array of sales, traffic and billing systems. Likewise, control of your system’s routers, VTRs, servers, switchers and other devices is assured, thanks to a device control library that is second to none.

Versio is designed to fit easily into your infrastructure. You can choose to run automation control directly off the Versio chassis, or leverage existing Imagine Communications automation and simply enable Versio. The ubiquity of Imagine Communications automation means your master control operators already know how to use Versio, so there is no learning curve and no confusion when switching or transitioning from existing playout workflows to one based around Versio.

Master Control
The Versio MCS, an optional intuitive, touchscreen-based master control surface, enables operators to manage advanced Versio switching, graphics and automation capabilities with a simple touch of the screen in a single- or multichannel environment.  Enabling advanced levels of user interface customization, Versio MCS brings new efficiencies to master control environments — allowing media companies to optimize their control surfaces for specific requirements and use cases. 

When combined with Magellan SDN Orchestrator, which is used to manage video routing and distribution, master control operations can be performed entirely in the IP domain and can control multiple Versio instances.
