The SpectreView platform offers a complete range of products that enable media to be ingested from both a video or file-based sources and then streamed to a large number of users, within a powerful, efficient and scalable architecture emulating true VTR performance at the desktop.

Today’s news editing, scheduling or asset management world of software driven broadcast systems, requires users to be able to view multiple video assets in order to achieve a desired workflow. Ordinarily delivering high resolution video to multiple users in a desktop environment is limiting, if not almost impossible, due to the volumes of data, time available and functionality required. IPV invented the concept of ‘shadow browse’, where an exact low bit-rate copy of the original high resolution video media is created and is used in parallel with the original video asset.

“SpectreView is IPV’s globally proven ‘shadow production browse’ system, used to create an exact low bit-rate copy of the original high resolution video media, with which is used in parallel.”

This concept enables hundreds of users to access video assets using powerful tools, from their desktop PC’s, with a minimum of infrastructure and using standard IT hardware. Any changes, editorial decisions or additions to the shadow browse asset are reflected precisely back to the high-resolution asset minimising the costly movement and data handling of the original media.
