SeaChange International, an exhibitor in the IPTV Pavilion at the upcoming NAB Show, has introduced its Broadcast Flash Memory Library FML200, a flash memory-based ingest and play-to-air solution.
With no moving parts, the server is said to be 100 times more reliable and consumes 10 times less power than spinning disk-based counterparts, greatly mitigating failures, rebuilds, replacements and other disk-related threats. By supplementing or even eliminating spinning disks in the on-air chain, the system is the first solution of its kind and is immediately available for TV operators worldwide.
It improves reliability while consuming less power, generating less heat and less noise than disk-based servers, all of which directly contribute to significantly lower operating costs.

Combining flash memory with SeaChange’s MediaCluster server architecture, the FML200 not only offers exceptional play-to-air reliability, but also offers IP-centric connectivity that is ideal for seamless integration with the file-based workflows that customers are building to get their content on-air faster.
