Harmonic’s MediaGrid is an ideal fit for digital media applications requiring shared, real-time storage, such as ingest, playout, archive, edit-in-place, collaborative editing, transcoding and over-the-top (OTT) adaptive bitrate streaming. Simple to deploy, manage and scale, MediaGrid storage accelerates file-based workflows and provides the ability to manage the entire asset lifecycle. The system reduces the cost of storing media nearline, making it practical to economically deploy multi-petabyte digital media libraries and archives for video on demand (VOD) and other applications.
MediaGrid is purpose-built from the ground up to deliver high bandwidth and consistent low latency for video. Media operations can start with smaller MediaGrid systems — as little as 24 TB of usable capacity — and seamlessly scale to petabytes of capacity and tens of gigabytes per second of throughput. An industry-leading, high-density storage option — up to 504 TB of raw capacity in 5 RU — can reduce rack space by up to 60% and lower storage-related costs by up to 30%, minimizing total cost of ownership (TCO) through its exceptional price/performance capabilities.

Spectrum X
Harmonic Spectrum X advanced media server system brings new levels of efficiency, simplicity and reliability to broadcast playout workflows. Designed for mission-critical production and playout applications, Spectrum X combines file, baseband and transport stream ingest with comprehensive integrated channel playout (ICP) capabilities, including graphics, branding, DVE, and live switching of baseband and compressed IP sources. By reducing the number of discrete devices required to produce and distribute branded programming, Spectrum X lowers capital expenditures, simplifies workflows and reduces operational costs.
The software-based Spectrum X supports a broad range of SD and HD formats up to 1080p (3G), and is upgradeable to Ultra HD. The integration of SDI and IP I/O on the same chassis also eases the migration to IP playout workflows, allowing broadcasters to transition smoothly away from baseband at a pace that makes sense for their operation.
