Receiving digital content from anywhere in the world and consolidating all existing operations so that the entire managed services are hosted under one roof - at WRN Broadcast.
WRN Broadcast installed a bespoke end-to-end tapeless workflow capable of acquiring and managing files from more than 20 distributors. It incorporated library management, ingest, file delivery, remote editorial compliance review, digital file content verification, media metadata management, storage and archive, playout and distribution.
A Pharos Mediator asset management system was added to give Top Up TV the advanced workflow required by VoD. Other technology deployed within WRN Broadcast’s media centre for Top Up TV included Omneon video servers, DDN Storage, Harmonic encoding and Evertz routing and distribution with the Evertz MVP multi-viewer system.
Top Up TV chief technology officer Simon Dore said: “WRN’s complete offering, its new Media Centre, strong content management and high engineering standards, gave us a cost effective, flexible and reliable solution which has allowed us to dramatically improve both our workflow and working practices, cut costs and has improved our offering to consumers at home.”
