IPV Storms the Barricades at IBC with International Awards and Major New Business Wins22 September 2014
Cambridge-based media asset and metadata management technology specialist, IPV, reports its strongest ever IBC with a combination of new business wins and international industry awards. Together with its customer, Ontario-based Groupe M dia TFO (TFO), IPV won second prize within the Content Management Category of this year's IBC Innovation Awards. Simultaneously, IPV has announced that it has been selected by UK-based broadcast systems integrator, dB Broadcast, to supply MAM systems to be used within a state-of-the-art production and transmission facility for the Services Sound and Vision Corporation (SSVC), suppliers of the British Forces Broadcasting Service (BFBS) to the UK's armed forces. The new facility will be equipped with highly flexible and workflow efficient solutions capable of handling current and foreseeable future TV broadcast requirements.
Speaking at the close of this year's event, IPV's CEO, David Cole reported that the company's MAM products and systems generated significant traction at IBC and generated excellent foot fall on their stand in Hall 8. Metadata management and data governance remained a key topic of conversation both on and off the stand, reported Cole. Tools such as IPV Metadata Central drives live and non-live logging infrastructures ensuring users are always presented with a consistent suite of annotation tools that create a centralised repository metadata with a controlled and valid metadata set. What we demonstrated was that this combination of technologies is ideally suited to the complex nature of Sports, S&P, Creative Services and Reality TV.
Pipped to second in an outstanding award nominations field
Sunday night so very nearly saw IPV and TFO secure IBC's top innovation award. But as the judging panel pointed out, second place was highly commendable in a field that included leading broadcasters from Europe, the Middle East and North America.
Working together, IPV and TFO have created a neat strategy for migrating away from the traditional linear television channel model, adding online and mobile services to the Canadian broadcaster's new multi-platform offering. The broadcaster is employing slicker workflows to increase staff productivity and creativity thanks to advanced, fast turnaround media asset and metadata management technology from IPV.
TFO has positioned IPV's Curator real-time Media Asset Management system at the heart of its new network-based production and distribution architecture. Of importance to TFO, IPV Curator is a widely proven system, doing exactly the task TFO requires at major broadcasters such as CNN.
IPV's technology enables us to speed up the production process, commented ric Minoli, Chief Technology & Optimization Officer at TFO. It allows us to implement big storage on six Isilon NAS servers. By automating the management and movement of content, it takes away a lot of technology barriers. Over the last year the push has been to increase output by 50 - 100%. That was why we had to find a better way of working, and with IPV we have achieved it.
The creative inspiration of this ambitious project has been recognised through this second place award, beamed David Cole. We are proud to have progressed so far within this award: together with TFO, we have demonstrated that with appropriate technology and expert support teams you can achieve a great deal without investing a King's ransom.
IPV and dB Broadcast help British Services Broadcasting create new state-of-art broadcast facility
Also at IBC, IPV announced that dB Broadcast had selected its MAM technology for integration within a state-of-the-art production and transmission facility, which it is constructing for the Services Sound and Vision Corporation (SSVC), suppliers of the British Forces Broadcasting Service (BFBS) to the UK's armed forces. The new facility will be equipped with highly flexible and workflow efficient solutions capable of handling current and foreseeable future TV broadcast requirements.
The new facility, encompassing both equipment rooms and operational areas, will be housed close to the current production centre at Chalfont, and will require a controlled build and migration process from the current on-air facility and production processes.
The solution is a complete turnkey system, spanning both traditional broadcast technologies and network infrastructure. In highlight, dB Broadcast selected an ingest solution from Arbor Media; Traffic system from Provys; a MAM system from IPV to manage the workflows and media; Playout from Snell; a broadcast infrastructure based on industry standard products from Snell, Axon and Imagine Communications (previously Harris), new network infrastructure based on CISCO hardware with NetApp storage, and a Control and Monitoring system utilising a combination of Axon Cerebrum and Nagios XI.
DB Broadcast has designed and integrated a multi-vendor workflow infrastructure comprising a broad range of best in class products and systems which altogether will satisfy the needs of the British Services Broadcasting Service now and for a long time into the future, remarked Nigel Booth, Executive VP Sales and Marketing at IPV. We are delighted to be providing one of the key elements in this future focused broadcast system.
