(SC = substomatal chamber; ST = stomata; M = mesophyll; AdE = adaxial epidermis; TAE = thicker abaxial epidermis; X = xylem; P = phloem; BPF = bundle of phloematic fibers;
BXF = bundle of xylem fibers; R = raphides; EAC = elongated adaxial cells; OC = ornamented cuticle).
Also known as SMPTE-2021,
BXF provides a standardized approach for the exchange of data including schedule information and as-run logs.
Harris has always taken a leading role in the development of open interconnectivity standards, from the first server protocol VDCP to the
BXF messaging layer.
Key elements such as the Mediator Interface, device control, workflow and messaging are based on the best tools for the job, and include Oracle, Java, Flash and industry standards such as MXF and
BXF. Close integration of MAM, workflow, playout and automation within Mediator 4 reduces the complexity and costs associated with the task repetition across multiple systems.
This is achieved through
BXF protocol messaging, which automatically relays last-minute changes and updates to ADC automation.
Expanding the company's commitment to building scalable and responsive filebased operations, Pilat Media is also introducing an advanced set of automation system interfaces based on
BXF standards, initially for OmniBus automation systems.
