THE PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT DILEMNA - Staying Focused & Keeping up to Date

As a supplier to the Media and Entertainment industry you may have the in-house capabilities to develop all the video processing components that your product needs, but is this your company's core competence? Is this where your company adds its value? Or is the video processing 'heavy lifting' just a part of your wider product value proposition? Would it be better to focus your development investment on creating the wider product value that enable you to increase sales with your market leading products?

Equally many broadcasters and content owners have 'house' platforms which have grown over the years as the production, and more recently delivery platform requirements have grown. In many cases the focus needs to be delivering efficient, high quality work-flows and robust operations rather than the low level video processing.

New formats and standards - whether it is new file formats with different compression methods, container / wrapper formats, metadata schemas or new workflows that are being adopted – change is a fact of life in the broadcast and media industry. If advanced software based signal processing is not your core competence, then the time and cost of keeping up with these changes can be prohibitive. Without adopting them, though, your product can soon fall behind the technology requirements of your customers or an in-house platform may fail to provide content for new commercial delivery channels.

THE BLUE LUCY MEDIA SOLUTION - BLM OEM Service Modules

Behind the easy to use, function rich, BLM Miura applications are the BLM Service modules which provide a Service Orientated Architecture (SOA) for on demand content processing and baseband signal processing. These self-contained service components of Ingest, Tailor, Transcode and Layback are accessed via open Web Service (SOAP & REST) APIs allowing system builders to easily integrate them into new or existing products and platforms.
