Harris will showcase enhanced and all-new H-Class software solutions at the 2008 National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) convention taking place April in Las Vegas.

The H-Class media software suite is a comprehensive family of interoperable systems that together form the core of Harris media workflow solutions for today’s broadcast operations.

Making its North American debut at the show is the H-Class Comperio digital asset management system. Comperio joins Invenioin the H-Class family of digital asset management systems, and offers media companies advanced digital asset management tools in an easy-to-deploy, cost-effective package.

Designed for integration with H-Class ADC and D-Series automation products, as well as Harris NEXIO AMP video servers, the Comperio digital asset management system manages the key workflows that help media companies acquire, catalog, edit and distribute digital video content. The system links descriptive metadata about a program or advertisement with the video essence of the content, allowing users to incorporate rich browsing and media transfer functionality across their operation. Powerful search and media movement capabilities make it easy to preview proxy content and move corresponding high-resolution material from the archive to a playout destination.

Next-Generation Automation Systems
At NAB2008, Harris also will showcase the new H-Class ADC-1000 and D-Series DSX7000 and DSX8000 automation systems — next-generation products that feature extensive revisions to their underlying core technology, while maintaining full backward compatibility.

The ADC-1000 automation system offers an increased number of channels and improved device support; enhanced network control capabilities; and Windows Vistasupport. Among its new network control capabilities, the ADC-1000 automation system adds true IPv6 support and IP control of the NEXIO AMP server.

The D-Series DSX7000 system employs a single pair of device controllers to support up to 40 channels of automation. The D-Series DSX8000 system operates on a distributed architecture that can have multiple pairs of device controllers and support up to 1,000 aired channels. Both DSX-series products feature a new Modular Device Interface Control Architecture that allows users to manage and control IP-networking devices. DSX automation can also control HarrisDTP (Digital Turnaround Processor) systems, mCAPTURE compressed media stream recorders, Platinum routers and Icon-series channel branding systems.

Many H-Class software systems at NAB — including the Comperio digital asset management system, the ADC-1000 automation system, the DSX7000 and the DSX8000 — will highlight an improved Graphical User Interface (GUI) that features a new, uniform look and feel across applications. This common interface makes it easier for operators of one H-Class product to learn another H-Class product — translating into better-trained users and fewer human errors.

Tight Integration between H-Class Automation and Traffic Systems
At NAB, Harris also will demonstrate tight interoperability between the ADC-1000 and OSi-Traffic traffic, accounting and reporting systems. (ADC versions 10 and 11 will also support this tighter integration with OSi-Traffic.) Data can now be exchanged between the two systems in near real time. This capability allows OSi-Traffic traffic, accounting and reporting systems to promptly and automatically relay changes and updates to the operations log. Once the changes have been made, the ADC-1000 automation system reports the status of those changes back to OSi-Traffic traffic, accounting and reporting systems.

This improved interoperability is enabled via BXF, the new SMPTE 2021 Broadcast Exchange Format software standard. BXF was developed to standardize methodologies for communications between traffic, automation, content management and workflow software systems. Harris has implemented BXF throughout the H-Class software suite to enable these interoperable systems to communicate faster and more effectively.

“We have developed solutions that streamline workflow and more efficiently manage resources, assets and revenues,” said Tim Thorsteinson, president of Harris Broadcast Communications. “We’ve incorporated the BXF standard in our full suite of software applications. Tight interoperability between automation, traffic, sales, billing and digital asset management is crucial to a broadcaster’s bottom line.”

This particular variant was submitted by Łukasz Pilorz and was based partially off of Ozh’s protocol resolution bypass. This cross site scripting example works in IE, Netscape in IE rendering mode and Opera if you add in a tag at the end. However, this is especially useful where space is an issue, and of course, the shorter your domain, the better. The “.j” is valid, regardless of the MIME type because the browser knows it in context of a SCRIPT tag.
