Play out stream SDI output Decoder1 none HD Decoded picture M/C HD HD Decoder2 none SD Back to back!

  21. 2.High Speed, High Accuracy 3) Frame based process algorithm Data and control processing for play out is based on a “video frame period”. ON-AIR MAXTM FLASH guarantees frame accuracy play out even when executing 40 Channels simultaneously. This performance is not only based on high Flash Memory access speed or high speed networking structure, but also on a frame based process algorithm. File output speed is also guaranteed for time shift play out. 33ms frame time period is divided and allocated to each channel, internal control command and data stream transfer and channel to complete in this allocated time period. 4)Original file system ON-AIR MAXTM FLASH uses an original file structure to accelerate the access speed to obtain media content instantly. By referencing meta-data tags to every piece of content, the referenced meta- data identifies the location path for direct retrieval from memory.

  22. Flash Memory: Now in 5 RU A Tornado to the World of Digital Broadcasting Proprietary and Confidential

  23. 1.High reliability, Low running cost 1) High reliable record medium, Flash Memory ON-AIR MAXTM FLASH is practically MAINTENANCE-FREE. A solid record medium has the most minimal chance of failing. Flash Memory vs. Hard Disk Drive reliability is shown in this comparison chart. Because of no mechanical parts in memory storage, the probability of storage failure is much fewer than Hard Disk based server. This is one of the biggest reason many Japanese broadcast stations selected ON-AIR MAXTM FLASH.

  24. 3.Content Protection, Data Compensation 1)Wear-Leveling by Toshiba unique Flash Memory controller Toshiba, inventor of the Flash Memory chip, has also developed its own unique Flash Memory “Controller” to address wear-leveling. Flash Memory Controller manages “wear-leveling” sothat the write data spreads evenly across each solid state device. Approximately 70,000 times data entry can be made into Flash Memory. This means Flash Memory can be used for well over 10 years if 20 data entries were made per cell/per day. This also means Flash Memory can be used for well over 10 years without replacement. Under Memory controller there are 4 memory boards in normal configuration, 5 memory boards in RAID configuration. The combination of memory controller and memory boards are called ‘Memory Set’. Memory Set Memory Controller Memory Board Memory Board Memory Board Memory Board Memory Board for RAID option

  25. 3.Content Protection, Data Compensation 2) Error correction by double layer RS Error Correction is written onto each Flash Memory chip using Reed-Solomon Coding (RS) to prevent solid state failure. ON-AIR MAXTM FLASH has double layer RS. Lower layer is RS(32,30) in each memory board. This is 1 byte error correction. Each memory board can recover 1byte error, equals to 1 flash chip failure. Memory controller has no affect even if 1 flash chip fails on all 4 memory boards, (total 4 flash device failures), because output data from memory board are all corrected. Memory Controller 16 Memory Board Memory Board Memory Board Memory Board corrected corrected corrected corrected 8 256 devices, 8 row x 16column, in 1 memory board. 1 device failure means 1 device per row. If there is 1 device failure in each 8 row, 8 device failure can be corrected by lower layer RS. Up to 32 device failures can be recover in 1 memory set. 1 flash device failure Lower Layer RS(32.30)

  26. 3.Content Protection, Data Compensation On the other hand, Memory Controller has Upper layer RS(240,224). This is 8 byte error correction and Memory Controller can recover 8 byte error, equals to 4 flash device failures. 4 flash device failures can be recovered by Upper Layer RS not corrected not corrected corrected corrected 6 device failures in this case Memory Controller Memory Controller 1 flash device failure Memory Board Memory Board Memory Board Memory Board Memory Board Memory Board Memory Board Memory Board Upper Layer RS(240,224) example.1 4 flash device failures can be recovered by Upper Layer RS not corrected corrected corrected corrected 7 device failures in this case 1 flash device failure Upper Layer RS(240,224) example.2

  27. 3.Content Protection, Data Compensation 3)RAID Memory set has 1 memory controller and 4 memory boards in a normal configuration, 5 memory boards in a RAID configuration. Parity data will be written to the additional memory board in a RAID configuration. This would be RAID4. But each memory board has error correction function using double layer RS. Thismemory redundancy configuration is much stronger than RAID4.

  28. 3.Content Protection, Data Compensation 4 flash device failures can be recovered by Upper Layer RS MemoryController Upper Layer RS Parity Correction not corrected not corrected corrected corrected corrected Memory Board Memory Board Memory Board Memory Board Memory Board 1 flash device failure all flash device failures (max 256 devices) In this case 261 flash device failures can be corrected by Lower Layer RS, Parity Correction and Upper Layer RS.

  29. 3.Content Protection, Data Compensation Re-build process Under a RAID configuration, the memory controller recognizes the newly inserted memory board. Content data from newly inserted card are re-created from data of the other 4 boards using parity.

  30. 1.High reliability, Low running cost 2) Low maintenance cost based on stable product Although highly reliable, Flash Memory may fail…As anything can fail. ON-AIR MAX FLASH can recover up to 4 flash device failures due to data compensation. A failed flash device can easily be identified by its memory controller and simply be replaced. Hence justifying its low maintenance cost. The other parts, encoder, decoder, file interface and system manager are also designed stably. As a result, maintenance cost is much cheaper than HDD server. Therefore TOSHIBA basic maintenance contract is ‘1st YEAR FREE’.

  31. 1.High reliability, Low running cost 3) Low running cost device, low power consumption FLASH Memory is a GREEN TECHNOLOGY device. Low power consumption = low running cost. Figure shows power cost comparisons between ON-AIR MAXTM FLASH and Hard Drive based Servers. ON-AIR MAXTM FLASH can save running cost compared to HDD based server. Flash Memory does not have the mechanical limitations and latencies of hard drives, so the idea of Flash Memory becomes attractive when considering speed, noise, power consumption, and reliability.

  32. 1.High reliability, Low running cost Unlike Hard Disk Drives, ON-AIR MAXTM FLASH does not need to create additional storage space to duplicate multi- files for multi-user due to the inherent fast retrieval access speed of Flash Memory. This makes chassis size small. Small size chassis contributes low power consumption, low power cost, easy maintenance, low maintenance cost.

  33. 1.High reliability, Low running cost ON-AIR MAXTM FLASH can save total cost ROI (Return on Investment). The cost merit becomes bigger at Medium/Large size server configuration. The desired need for Flash memory Servers have shown reliability, endurance and performance for over 10 years in the Japanese Broadcast markets, consistently outperforming the Hard Disk Drive alternatives.

  34. 2.High Speed, High Accuracy • Flash Memory • ON-AIR MAXTM Flash uses the latest of TOSHIBA’s Single Level Cell chips (SLC). • The SLC -64Gbit chips are the highest capacity yet achieved in the industry. • A significant function of Flash Memory is its ability to rapidly read and write data. • ON-AIR MAXTM FLASH has very high bandwidth and is optimized for read and write • operation as shown in this diagram. • High speed access contributes simultaneously 40 channels, 30 sessions file I/O • or over 800Mbps file transfer.
