News and Sports

LiveTouch will be launched at IBC.

Uniquely, LiveTouch offers bidirectional editor integration direct into the server cluster, speeding operations and simplifying system design.

Enterprise sQ production systems get a raft of editor improvements, as well as a new eight port version of sQ Record that saves space in crowded galleries and machine rooms. Theres support for XAVC media across the system in both automated and manual workflows and new support for 4K media.

Also new is Fileflow 2 which adds more flexibility, easier IT integration and a faster workflow to Enterprise sQ file i/o. Key improvements are roles-based user accounts making it easier to manage the system, new security features such as folder-based credentials, and FTP client support making it easier to integrate into large IT systems. Theres also a new web-based drag and drop interface which makes it easy for files to be sent to different destinations direct from the editor.

Production Everywhere

QTube is all about helping broadcasters create great content more quickly using relevant media no matter where it is located, and get it to air, web, mobile or tablet wherever it is required. IBC highlights will include a new browser-based InterSite workflow that makes it easier than ever before to add InterSite operations to Enterprise sQ systems.
