FIMS Introduction & Innovation at NAB 2013
FIMS Business Imperative
• Create and leverage existing infrastructure
• Build a flexible, reliable and scalable media processing platform
• Support multiple content creation sources
• Provide capabilities of distributing and monetizing media worldwide
• Manage multiple devices and platforms (broadcast, mobile, web...)
• Maximise options from varying vendors
The FIMS Concept • Decode the black box
– Expose traditional systems as services
– Eliminate embedded media processing business rules
• Speak the same language – Leverage a standard interface across media services
– Define a common representation for media objects
• Universal brain – Centralize decision-making and business processes
– Provide a flexible platform to adapt to new business requirements

Before SOA “tightly coupled”
The Proposition: SOA for media
Standardizing common interfaces is essential.

Breakthrough @ NAB: Repositories
• Work led by Bloomberg/Triskel, VSN, Interra, Dalet, Avid, IBM
• CRUD (Ingest, Create, Read, Update, Delete) and metadata
• What is the FIMS repository interface? – Query interface: what is where in which format?
– Service interface with workflow engine
– Implementation .Net, XSDs, WSDLs (also in Java) and soon REST
– Pilots at VSN and Avid
FIMS Repository Benchmark: Bloomberg • Global organization
– 3 main datacenters (NY-London-Hong Kong)
– 169 bureaus
• Bloomberg TV – Average of 16 hours per day of live content
– Follow the markets
• Bloomberg Media Channels Web (www.bloomberg.com)
– Mobile (Ipad BTV+, IPhone, Androids,….. )
– Syndications
– Affiliates
Repository version 1
- SOAP and REST
- Synchronous and Asynchronous

More Innovation @ NAB: REST • Work led by Quantel, BBC, Signiant, Harris
• REST: REpresentational State Transfer – Used by web streaming and cloud-based transform services
• RESTful binding for FIMS 1.0 services – Representation of resources e.g., a video clip or a transfer job
– Simple HTTP operations for managing resources dependent on their state
– Under development: reference implementation, test suite and examples
– Data model representation in JSON
– In complement to the existing WSDL/SOAP bindings and reference implementation already available for FIMS 1.0
First Steps @ NAB: Quality Analysis • Work led by Interra, Sony, BBC, Bloomberg, Cube-Tec, digimetrics, IRT...
• Define service interface to QA tools
• Analyse and report vs. specific criteria and thresholds – Advanced: add pass/fail parameters and determine how to act
– Support fine grain reporting or audit trail
• Collaborate with EBU Quality Control Strategic Programme – Consult with vendors
– Common QC languages
– Structure / wrapping integrity control points (incl. metadata extraction)
– Audio and video compression attributes and control points
– Audio and video essence attributes and control points
Next: Priorities set by Users! • The FIMS Business Board
– Led by Turner, – ABC, Ad-Id, AMWA, BBC,
Bloomberg, BSkyB, CBC, EBU, Fox, HBO, ITV, MLB, MTV, NBC, NFB, NRK, RAI, Red Bee Media, RTL/BCE, TV Globo, Viacom,
• Scope and duties – Maintain business focus
– Identify business needs
– Prioritise FIMS work
