HUNGARY'S TV2 CREATES PRODUCTION AND NEWS ARCHIVE WORKFLOWS WITH SGL FLASHNET 09 Jul 2013

Software Generation Ltd (SGL), a leading provider of content archive and storage management software for media and entertainment, has announced that Hungarian commercial broadcaster TV2 has installed an SGL FlashNet archive as a key element of its major digital upgrade project. The solution installed by systems integrator Snitt Studio will significantly improve and simplify workflow processes.

SGL FlashNet will assist TV2 operations with the delivery of a number of core functions including input to the transmission archive using a watch folder workflow; output from the transmission archive using Snell's Morpheus Archive Controller; archive and restore functionality for its Avid Interplay production environment; and the ability to archive news material from both Harris and Octopus NRCS' using internal development based on SGL's XML API.

Prior to installing the SGL FlashNet archive TV2 operators used a labour intensive analogue workflow based around DigiBeta, XDCam and XDCart. SGL FlashNet significantly improves this workflow by providing high-speed online access, partial file restore and duplicate asset functionality.

Sandor Molnar, TV2 Hungary's CTO says, We're delighted with the SGL archive, which has allowed us to totally modernise our workflow reducing time constraints and costs. The FlashNet integration with Avid Interplay is seamless and the integration that we completed in-house between FlashNet and the Harris and Octopus NCRS' was straightforward, providing us with a fully integrated news workflow.

Raj Patel, SGL's Product Manager, adds Available to all broadcast vendors, our XML API allows companies like TV2 to use specific FlashNet program commands within their own applications. With a comprehensive understanding of third-party products SGL and our partners can create a truly open system to provide customers with more effective, efficient and integrated solutions.
