arkona Simplifies BLADE//runner Configuration With FLOWS At IBC

arkona technologies, provider of IP core infrastructure solutions for top-tier broadcast productions, has announced plans to introduce BLADE//runner FLOWS at IBC 2023. FLOWS is a built-in tool that makes configuration of BLADE//runner systems a breeze.

Designed for Tier-1 live broadcast productions where agility and scalability are essential, the BLADE//runner core infrastructure solution provides a wide variety of tools for professional productions, including audio/video routing, compression and processing.

The new built-in FLOWS tool removes all the complexity of the configuration process. FLOWS presents sources, processing functions and outputs in a simple point, click and drag web UI where all the most commonly used parameters are at your fingertips. FLOWS easily allows the user to configure routing between sources, processing functions and destinations to build the desired processing path. Routing sources is as simple as click, drag and drop the source on top of the desired destination, such as a processor or an output. Processing functions such as color correctors, HDR/SDR converters, delays can be easily and dynamically be added or removed directly from the UI. Audio, video, and metadata sources from other ST2110 devices can also easily be added directly into FLOWS.
