It’s a high definition world out there – big, bold and full of possibilities. Your customers expect it and your business demands it. And here’s the good news – stunning media is just the beginning of the experience. High Definition Media Distribution from Generation Technologies lets you unleash your true HD potential.

• Deliver a higher quality media experience
• Distribute HD content with the same reliability as SD content
• Track every clip with ease and precision

The complete HD distribution picture from capture to archive.

Simply put, HD Media Distribution from Generation Technologies helps you transition to HD without crushing your budget. It’s a simple integration solution that gives you full control from start to finish.

• Easily capture HD content to file or stream
• Play it back in a huge variety of formats including SD (480i) and HD (720p and 1080i)

Ultimate control with our video / metadata split feature.

Breaking down HD content opens up powerful new opportunities to track and control. While our competitors may suggest that video and metadata components are just fine intertwined – we know there’s a better way. That’s why we split the two components for easier metadata sharing between associated video clips. In the newsroom that means you can send updates without sending the entire package. And you don’t have to wait for both components to arrive before sending updates involving just one component.

All on a single server. Ready to go and built to last.

It’s all there – performance, cost-savings and much more. A powerful turnkey solution inside the workhorse that made us famous: the Digital Media Edge Server. Simply upgrade your existing Edge Server or we’ll deploy one that’s pre-configured. No user installation means a quick start and we’ll install all future updates via the Internet.

• Hardware and software bundled in a single package
• Flexible design for easy HD integration and expansion
• Full support every minute of the year
• IP connectivity
• Affordable flat rate monthly lease
