From Studio Daily's blog, Media Backbone.
"Peter Crithary, marketing manager for production in Sony’s Broadcast and Professional Systems Division, said the cards running Media Backbone evolved from the cell technology at the heart of Sony’s PlayStation 3. “Sony’s cards with cell processors enable 4 HD-SDI inputs and 4 HD-SDI outputs simultaneously,” he said. There will be options for 10GbE and Fibre Channel"
"Ensemble, apparently, will streamline the front (ingest) and back ends (archive) of the process, sorting out and managing the different ways that popular NLEs—from Avid, Quantel, Apple, etc.—store metadata"
Motivation for this new system is the upward tick of 4K and 3D.
Sony are also saying they have a 4K camera in the works. It'll not be on show under glass at NAB.
