Aveco’s Redwood GREEN is a multipurpose video engine that provides integrated channel origination, ingest and playout features. It is a proven broadcasting solution with integrated IP and SDI interfaces, graphics, DVE effects, to-from live switching, and support for formats up to UHD HDR for end video delivery – for applications where quality and reliability are paramount. Redwood GREEN is powered by Harmonic.

Integrated Channel Workflow

As a platform for live-to-disk recording, clip playout, graphics insertion, master control switching with DVEs, subtitling, independent branding of simultaneous channels and many other broadcast features, Redwood GREEN’s hardware and software are both modular and scalable to deliver the right feature set. Further providing a complete IP workflow using the industry standards SMPTE ST 2022-6 and ST 2110, together with the SDI interfaces, means streamlined delivery of professional content in today’s hybrid world where the adoption of IP to the existing SDI infrastructures is in progress.

Best of Both Worlds

As a result of the combined technologies of Harmonic – the worldwide leader in video delivery infrastructure solutions – and Aveco’s robust, industry-standard automation system, Redwood GREEN meets the needs of the most demanding users.

Video Engine

The Redwood GREEN video engine, which provides end-to-end SD/HD and UHD HDR video ingest and delivery, is highly scalable and suitable for traditional broadcast chains as well as integrated channel playout. Built-in multi-channel DVE, 8 layers of graphics, master control switching with clip playback, and ingest capabilities make Redwood GREEN perfect for a wide range of applications. With up to four SD/HD channels or one 4K UHD channel per unit, Redwood GREEN gives you the flexibility to add channels as you need. For reliability and fault tolerance, the video engine components operate independently. Redwood GREEN is designed for extreme reliability.

Automation Platform

The ASTRA Suite of Tools can automate your facility’s workflows. By automating ingest, media asset management, master control playout and studio operation, your costs are lower and your workflows are simpler. Built on powerful media asset management, ASTRA provides tools to streamline the lifecycle of all of your content locally or from remote locations.
