Quantum to Supply Drives for SeaChange Video Servers
Business Wire - February 11, 1998 09:18
MILPITAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 11, 1998--Quantum Corp.
(NMS:QNTM) today announced it will supply SeaChange International,
Inc. (Maynard, Mass.) with Quantum Atlas II drives for SeaChange's
video server systems for cable operators and broadcasters. The leading provider of MPEG-2 video server systems, SeaChange will incorporate
the drives in its digital ad insertion systems, which dramatically
streamline the way advertisements are delivered on cable television.
The systems enable cable operators to insert local advertising more
easily and precisely into cable network programming. With SeaChange's
systems, ads are stored digitally on the Quantum Atlas II drives in
MPEG-2 format. Reliance on digital video improves transmission quality
while eliminating degradation from worn-out tapes. SeaChange will also
use Quantum drives in its on-demand movie systems, as well as its
play-to-air solutions for the broadcast industry.
Bruce Mann, president of SeaChange Systems, a subsidiary of SeaChange
International, Inc., said that the agreement was made on the basis of
predictable read times, reliability, performance and support of the
Quantum Atlas II drives. "An extensive 24 x 7 test of a sample Quantum
Atlas II drive produced almost no errors," said Mann. "That's
imperative for digital video applications. Digital video also demands
a high-performance drive capable of operating as part of a RAID array
to deliver constant bit-rate data greater than 25 MB per second." Mann
also cited Quantum's strong distribution support program through Wyle.
"The program addresses our need to be competitive in the market with
high performance servers, while reducing our cost of doing business,"
Mann said.
