Discovery Communications will migrate from its linear playout and master control to the public cloud and has selected Evertz Microsystem as its technology partner for the project.
Discovery will deploy the Evertz Mediator-X Media Asset Management and automation solution and its OvertureRT-LIVE-VM virtualized channel playout engine, the company said. Both products will run on the Amazon Web Services cloud infrastructure.
With Mediator-X, Discovery personnel will be able to manage complex multi-channel playout and control the dynamic spin up and spin down of virtualized services.
Mediator-X along with Evertz’ Magnum SDVN and VistaLINK Pro software will give Discovery operations staff control capabilities for both on-premise and cloud-based services. Magnum SDVN will provide system control and routing, and VistaLINK Pro will enable network management and monitoring.
More information is available on the Evertz website.
