SCRI International, Inc. Market & Technology Information
For The Broadcast And Professional Video Sectors, since 1984 |

Time critical data retrieval, repurposing, distribution and archival would not be possible without reliable video servers. These units are specifically designed to handle the data intensive environments of broadcast, cable, post house and digital cinema environments. They provide a secure way to store and archive data with efficient throughput along a network path or production chain. More intensive storage solutions will be needed in the future as more advanced digital data is favored in the television/video world. Delivery systems will also dictate what types of storage devices are used that can adequately integrate with distribution mediums like web streaming, podcasting, digital publishing, multicasting, simulcasting, uncompressed video delivery and VOD.
This is just part of the findings from SCRI's Broadcast/Pro Video ServersReport . The full SCRI report provides quantitative data, based on extensive annual primary research surveys (since 1984) of broadcast and pro video facilities in each of the following end-user vertical markets: broadcast television stations, cable television stations, post production facilities (video and film), video production and multimedia facilities, corporate and institutional video facilities (government, educational, medical).
Quantitative data tables for 2006, 2007 & 2008 show total number of end-user facilities, total number and percentage purchasing by year , total dollars spent purchasing, total units purchased, average number of units purchased per end-user facility, and average price per unit. This data is displayed for each of the six vertical end-user markets as well as for the total across the board broadcast / pro video marketplace.
In addition, charts and tables show total units by format, by price range and by market share of the leading brands.
The approximately 10 page report commences with a detailed written report of the total category as well as of each individual vertical end-user market, bringing the quantitative data tables and charts to life with insightful analysis and forecasts. The written alaysis is followed by the quantitative data tables and charts.
